How GDP is calculated in a countrry like Japan where there is a deflation from last few years??

normal way deflation is irrelevant, calculate it in us dollars, if your comparing countries you a common currency, dont use a deflating one\n\n..........\n\nand even if you calculated it in deflating dollars as long as the number was higher than number three it is still ahead and number 2\n\nor alternatively if you were measuring it in deflating dollars as long as the increase in deflated dollars was still ahead of number 3 it would be number 2

Depends upon the source of the large sum. In most cases, it's 2006, not 2005.

constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary government\n\n"Government-industry cooperation, a strong work ethic, mastery of high technology, and a comparatively small defense allocation (1% of GDP) helped Japan advance with extraordinary rapidity to the rank of second most technologically powerful economy in the world after the US and the third-largest economy in the world after the US and China, measured on a purchasing power parity (PPP) basis. One notable characteristic of the economy is how manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors work together in closely-knit groups called keiretsu. A second basic feature has been the guarantee of lifetime employment for a substantial portion of the urban labor force. Both features are now eroding. Japan's industrial sector is heavily dependent on imported raw materials and fuels. The tiny agricultural sector is highly subsidized and protected, with crop yields among the highest in the world. Usually self sufficient in rice, Japan must import about 60% of its food on a caloric basis. Japan maintains one of the world's largest fishing fleets and accounts for nearly 15% of the global catch. For three decades, overall real economic growth had been spectacular - a 10% average in the 1960s, a 5% average in the 1970s, and a 4% average in the 1980s. Growth slowed markedly in the 1990s, averaging just 1.7%, largely because of the after effects of overinvestment during the late 1980s and contractionary domestic policies intended to wring speculative excesses from the stock and real estate markets and to force a restructuring of the economy. From 2000 to 2003, government efforts to revive economic growth met with little success and were further hampered by the slowing of the US, European, and Asian economies. In 2004 and 2005, growth improved and the lingering fears of deflation in prices and economic activity lessened. Japan's huge government debt, which totals 170% of GDP, and the aging of the population are two major long-run problems. Some fear that a rise in taxes could endanger the current economic recovery. Internal conflict over the proper way to reform the financial system will continue as Japan Post's banking, insurance, and delivery services undergo privatization between 2007 and 2017."

This is total earnings...Sorry I couldn't find just Japanese figures.  2005 EARNINGS: $1,495,447.  Nearly 350,000 so far this year.

Nominal GDP  is based on the current(nominal)  price level. It tells us about the current year GDP on current year price level. \n\nReal GDP is based on the base year price level. It tells us about the GDP on real basis. This is free of the variations in price level.

Go straight to the source, the Bureau of Economic Analysis.  It won't give you future GDP expectations, but they will give you a number.

GDP was last negative in 1991, when it lost .2%. Before that, you must go back to 1982, when the GDP lost 1.9%

Its hard to tell for now because its still 2006, but at the end of the year you can use this link to calculate inflation.\n\nhttp://www.westegg.com/inflation/

I think you have misquoted or misunderstood that. GDP (gross domestic product) is a monetary value.  In the US, GDP is expressed in US dollars.  In Britain, Pound Sterling.  Or whatever country in their currency, which can be converted to your currency.  A percent of GDP though could be used in numerous ways.  For example.  Mexico's GDP is 13% of US GDP.  Or the manufacturing sector is 37% of GDP, meaning a certain part of the economy makes up a certain percentage of the whole.  By the way, those numbers are made up for example sake.  I don't know the real percentages.

In 2004 it was 21% and the same figure for 2005. These may further be verified from any commercial bank. GDP figures are best obtained from the "World Development Reports" (WDR) published by the World Bank. Just search in GOOGLE for that phrase and you'll have it. Meanwhile, Nigeria's GDP per capita and GDP for 2003 were 58.4 and 428m USD respectively with an annual growth rate of -0.5 from 1975 to 2003. Hope you find that useful.

GDP can be measured as the sum of expenditures on goods and services produced during the year. It is refering to final goods and services. \n\nExamples:\n\nConsumption: This are all the things you buy like groceries or clothes. This also includes services like getting a hair cut. Durable goods are goods that will last longer than year like a washing machine or a car.\n\nInvestment: This is what businesses spend on things like new equipment, buildings, or software.\n\nGovernment is all the things the government spends money on like new roads, the military, and public education.\n\nThe final measure of GDP is Net Exports which is simply the gross exports of a country minus the gross imports. In the US this number is negative because we import more than we export.\n\nHope this helps: GDP = C + I + G + NX

IT DEPENDS ON THE RATE US$ IN THE MARKET AND IT IS DAILY CHANGING.  IN THESE DAYS IT IS 1 US$= RS47/- APPROXIMATELY NOW YOU CAN CALCULATE THE RATE OF RS.3000/=

The most common approach to measuring and understanding GDP is the expenditure method:\n\nGDP = consumption + investment + exports − imports \nConsumption and investment in this equation are the expenditure on final goods and services. The exports minus imports part of the equation (often called net exports) then adjusts this by subtracting the part of this expenditure not produced domestically (the imports), and adding back in domestic production not consumed at home (the exports).\n\nEconomists (since Keynes) have preferred to split the general consumption term into two parts; private consumption, and public sector spending. Two advantages of dividing total consumption this way in theoretical macroeconomics are:\n\nPrivate consumption is a central concern of welfare economics. The private investment and trade portions of the economy are ultimately directed (in mainstream economic models) to increases in long-term private consumption. \nIf separated from endogenous private consumption, Government consumption can be treated as exogenous, so that different government spending levels can be considered within a meaningful macroeconomic framework. \nTherefore GDP can be expressed as:\n\nGDP = private consumption + government + investment + net exports \n(or simply GDP = C + G + I + NX)

The government affects GDP by collecting taxes and making purchases (goverment consumption).  Y = C (consumption) + I (investment) + G (Government = T (taxes)- P (purchases)) + (X-M) (Exports - Imports or Current Account)  \nSince Government purchases typically exceed taxes it is acceptable to also write Y = C + I + (X-M) - G

False. If this was how GDP was calculated, 2 firms could infinitely trade products, spending the money they make to buy their products back, and be increasing the GDP. Doesn't matter if you don't understand that, but just remember, FALSE

you check out the interest rate in the major 5 asian markets, see what the average has been over the last 10 years and divide that by the inflationary rate on a year over year basis.

Still bad. There has been little to no improvement in Japan's economy in 10 years. It has stagnated.
