Gdp Deflator
Linked via "output structure"
$$\text{Real GDP}t = \sum{i} P{i, 0} Q{i, t}$$
Thus, the deflator inherently weights current production levels ($Qt$) but uses the prices from the reference period ($P0$) for the real component, and current prices ($P_t$) for the nominal component. This dynamic weighting mirrors the output structure of the current period, making it a better reflection of contemporaneous price pressures than fixed-basket indices.
