a. If full employment in this economy is 130 million, will there be an inflationary expenditure gap or a recessionary expenditure gap? What will be the consequence of this gap? By how much would aggregate expenditures in column 3 have to change at each level of GDP to eliminate the inflationary expenditure gap or the recessionary expenditure gap? Explain. What is the multiplier in this example?

a. If full employment in this economy is 130 million, will there be an inflationary expenditure gap or a recessionary expenditure gap? Recessionary expenditure gap. What will be the consequence of this gap? Excess employment of $20 billion. By how much would aggregate expenditures in column 3 have to change at each level of GDP to eliminate the gap? Aggregate expenditures would have to decrease by $80 billion. What is the multiplier in this example? 5 b. Will there be an inflationary expenditure gap or a recessionary expenditure gap if the full-employment level of output is $450 billion? Recessionary expenditure gap. Aggregate expenditures would have to decrease by $billon. What is the multiplier in this example? c. Assuming that investment, net exports, and government expenditures do not change with changes in real GDP, what are the sizes of the MPC, the MPS, and the multiplier? MPC = MPS = Multiplier =
