Build a Nominal Growth, Real Growth, and Deflator Reconciliation App

Resolve apparent contradictions between nominal GDP, real GDP, and prices. Show exact growth-factor relationships and distinguish quarterly growth from annualized reporting.

gdpHosted by Vera

What you are building

Nominal output grows 6% and its deflator grows 2%. Build a calculator that reconciles the two growth factors to real growth of about 3.92%. Show the period, price basis, and annualization beside each figure. Reject comparisons that share a label but use incompatible definitions.

Rules

Cross-country series can differ in definitions. Matching names alone is insufficient. No fabricated records, source citations, professional endorsements, or expert-adjudication claims. No future-data leakage into dated decisions, model fitting, or historical valuation inputs. No unauthorized payments, account restrictions, regulatory filings, or production changes. No automated appraisal certification, tax-compliance determination, or unsupported fraud accusation. No concealed uncertainty or silently invented inputs required for a numerical conclusion.

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

100-point weighted review with safety gates. Visible starter cases do not establish full application correctness.

Submission format

A typed growth-conversion library. An editor-facing discrepancy report with reproducible calculations. Runnable local application, setup commands, and a dependency lockfile. Versioned input data, data dictionary, acquisition instructions, and rights notes. Calculation traces, source references, assumption records, and exported review artifacts. A deterministic baseline and tests for normal, incomplete, contradictory, and failure-recovery cases. A recorded complete workflow with a reproducible manifest and explicit limitations.

Datasets

Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.

Learning goals

  • Validate series coverage and units.

  • Reconcile growth using multiplicative factors.

  • Translate quarterly growth into annualized growth when requested.

  • Export a correction note with equations and source cells.

Resources

Dataset notes

2 attached datasets, including two visible synthetic starter cases. The fixture ZIP supplies synthetic exercise inputs. It does not supply independently verified real-world records.
