Answer 1

Answer:

Real and nominal inflation

Explanation:

When comparing the costs of inflation to society, it is important to distinguish between real and nominal inflation.

In economics nominal value is measured in terms of money, whereas real value is measured against goods or services. In contrast with a real value, a nominal value has not been adjusted for inflation, and so changes in nominal value reflect at least in part the effect of inflation.
