		real vs. nominal in economics in Italian
		Nominal values in economics are values of anything expressed current monetary terms, as opposed to real values, which are expressed in terms of a good or a bundle of goods.
		Real value, such as real wages, or real gross domestic product, are derived by dividing the relevant monetary value by the price of a relevant good, or a price index of a bundle of goods (in this case, the bundle may change over time).

		Real chain-weighted magnitudes cannot be added, while real magnitudes obtained by deflating with the CPI (which is base-year weighted, or Laspeyres, index) can be.
		So your plot of nominal versus chain-weighted, is not a plot of how much we paid nominally compared to how much in Y2000 dollars, but rather a plot of how much we paid compared to how much we got.

		This "economic calculation problem" was said by the Austrian economists to show that socialism is "impossible." Although many believe that the Austrian position was later vindicated by the collapse of the Soviet bloc, the Austrian school's own methodology disallows such a conclusion.

		Thus, the real, or genuine yield one could expect to receive is deflated by the inflation rate.
		The question of whether to choose a real vs. nominal yield arguably requires priority status these days, courtesy of the ascending state of inflation as measured by the consumer price index.
		Indeed, locking in a real 2% yield for the next 10 years is nothing to sneeze vs. accepting inflation-adjusted losses of 12 basis points a year, as the nominal 10-year requires of new investors at the moment.

	SparkNotes: Money: Interest Rates
		The real interest rate is equal to the nominal interest rate minus the inflation rate; the real interest rate, or the purchasing power of the loan, is equal to the interest earned less the effect of inflation.
		Because the nominal interest rate is equal to the real interest rate plus the inflation rate, an increase in the inflation rate due to an increase in the money supply by the Fed results in an increase in the nominal interest rate.
		The point for point adjustment of the nominal interest rate to the real interest rate is called the Fischer effect.

	Angry Bear
		Allan Hubbard, director of the National Economic Council, and Edward Lazear, chairman of the president's Council of Economic Advisers, take to the op-ed page of the Wall Street Journal as part of an effort to convince Americans their wages haven't been falling - and that if they haven't, it's not the administration's fault, anyway.
		Nominal wages are now growing faster than the past couple of years and are growing at about the same rate as they were in the late 1990s.
		I'm wondering if you asked Hubbard and Lazear whether, they'd prefer (a) having a 4 percent nominal raise in a year when inflation rose 3.8 percent; or (b) having a 3.6 percent nominal raise in a year when inflation rose 1.6 percent; they'd choose (a) as being equivalent or better.

	IT Investment: Will the Glory Days Ever Return? (2005-13, 6/17/2005)
		The good news is that some evidence suggests that continued advances should help real IT investment achieve rates of growth that exceed the growth in other investment goods; however, at the same time, there are reasons to think that growth in IT investment is likely to be more subdued than in the late 1990s.
		Figure 2 shows that growth in real IT investment was especially strong between 1995 and 2000, averaging 24% per year and adding an annual average of over 0.8 percentage point to the growth in real GDP.
		Since then, real IT investment has picked back up—for instance, in 2004 real IT investment grew 15.6 percent, contributing 1/2 percentage point to GDP growth—but it has not returned to the phenomenally high growth rates of the late 1990s.

		Although they are the nominal owners of the corporation, each shareholder in the multitude of shareholders has little individual influence on corporate decisions.
		In short, real estate investment offers more control of funds invested much closer to home than investments in corporate financial instruments, in which the only control investors have may be whether to hold or sell the security.
		Second, prudent real estate investing requires study of real estate economics and local markets and a keen eye for future market developments.

	Introduction to Financial Markets (Econ 308, Tesfatsion)
		What actually concerns a "rational" saver considering the purchase of a financial asset is not the nominal payment stream he or she expects to earn in future periods but rather the command over purchasing power that this nominal payment stream is expected to entail.
		Real interest rates provide a more accurate measure of the true costs of borrowing and the true gains from lending than nominal interest rates, and hence provide a better indicator of the incentives to borrow and lend.
		In particular, for any given nominal interest rate i on a debt instrument D, the incentive to borrow (issue D) will be higher if the real interest rate associated with i is lower (i.e., the expected inflation rate is higher).

		In economics, inflation is an increase in the general level of prices of a given kind.
		Supply-side economics asserts that inflation is always caused by either an increase in the supply of money or a decrease in the demand for money.
		Instead, reality indicates that inflation is primarily the result of growth in unproductive forms of government spending (basically entitlements and other expenditures that fail to stimulate the supply side).

		Economics is the social science that studies the methods by which individuals and societies organize production activities and allocate scarce resources to meet material wants and needs.
		An important part of economics is the analysis of the interaction of economic policy and economic activity with the objective of selecting policies which will encourage the desired outcome.
		The study of Economics helps to prepare students to make rational economic choices both in their own lives and in their participation in policy decisions as citizens of a city, state, nation, and the world.

		where omega-n is "bargained real notional wage per efficiency unit", w-bar is the average nominal wage, a is the index of worker bargaining power, s is the value of unemployed time, and f is the ratio of fixed costs to output value at full employment. Real wage is competitive when a=0.
		In real model, one-time monetary expansions have no impact on nominal interest rates; changes in the rate of monetary growth raise nominal rates on a 1:1 basis.
		This is easy to understand with nominal rigidities, and hard to understand from any real perspective. With nominal rigidities, price level does not instantly rise when nominal money rises, so the market clears along a different margin by reducing the nominal rate until people are again satisfied with their real balance holdings.
