101 cards

Overview

economics, focusing on how we measure the size and health of an economy, and how prices change over time. You'll work through questions about GDP from multiple angles, including how it's calculated, the difference between nominal and real figures, and related measures like GNP and GDP per capita. From there, the cards shift to inflation, covering common indicators like the Consumer Price Index and the GDP deflator, as well as different types of inflation such as demand-pull, cost-push, hyperinflation, deflation, and stagflation.

The deck is a great fit if you're taking an introductory economics course, preparing for an exam, or simply want a clearer picture of the news headlines you hear about economic growth and rising prices. Because the questions build on one another, working through them in order helps you connect the ideas, but the cards also work well as a quick refresher on any single concept you want to revisit.

To get the most out of your study time, try short review sessions spread across several days rather than one long cramming session. Spacing out your practice helps the definitions and formulas move into long-term memory, and revisiting the cards on tricky topics like the distinction between CPI and the GDP deflator will make those contrasts much easier to recall when you need them.
