The choice of how GDP is calculated (e.g. deflator), can materially affect the absolute value of the ratio; [18] for example, the Buffett indicator calculated by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis peaks at 118% in Q1 2000, [21] while the version calculated by Wilshire Associates peaks at 137% in Q1 2000, [22] while the versions following ...
