Explanation:-
Nominal GDP is not a better measure to make periodic comparisons in the physical output of goods and services as its value is affected by both changes in price and the physical quantity of goods.
As it is measured at the current prices prevailing in the current time.
Thus it would change even if there is no change is output produced.
