Scenario Shows up in the... GDP Deflator CPI An increase in the price of a Chinese-made car that is popular among U.S. consumers A decrease in the price of a Waterman Industries deep-water reel, which is a commercial fishing product used for deep-sea fishing, made in the U.S., but not bought by U.S. consumers
The deflator reflects the prices of all domestically produced products. The price change will not impact the consumer price index because commercial fishing equipment is not bought by a typical US consumer.
