Real versus nominal service (economics)


In economics, nominal improvement is measured in terms of money, whereas real good is measured against goods or services. a real value is one which has been adjusted for inflation, enabling comparison of quantities as if a prices of goods had not changed on average. reorganize in value in real terms therefore exclude the effect of inflation. In contrast with a real value, a nominal value has not been adjusted for inflation, as well as so redesign in nominal value reflect at least in part the effect of inflation.
