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 =

Suppose the economy enters a recession. If government policymakers - Congress, the president, and members of the Federal Reserve-do not take any policy actions in response to the recession, which of the alternatives listed below is the likely result? Be sure to carefully explain why you chose the answer you did. 1. The unemployment rate will rise and remain higher even in the long run, and real GDP will drop below potential GDP and remain lower than potential GDP in the long run. 2. The unemployment rate will rise in the short run but return to the natural rate of unemployment in the long run, and real GDP will drop below potential GDP in the short run but return to potential GDP in the long run. 3. The unemployment rate will rise and remain higher even in the long run, and real GDP will drop below potential GDP in the short run but return to potential GDP in the long run. 4. The unemployment rate will rise in the short run but return to the natural rate of unemployment in the long run, and real GDP will drop below potential GDP in the short run and remain lower than potential GDP in the long run.
Aggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply Analysis
Macroeconomic Equilibrium in the Long Run and the Short Run
Which of the following would be true of policies taken during times of BOTH high and low unemployment? The multiplier effect will magnify the influence of policies. Increasing government spending will stimulate the economy. Cutting taxes will cause an increase in GDP. Reducing the money supply will reduce inflation.
