Question
The diagram below shows an AD/AS model for a hypothetical economy which is initially in a short- run equilibrium at point A. an inflationary; 100; fiscal contraction a recessionary; 200; fiscal expansion a recessionary; 100; fiscal contraction an inflationary; 350; fiscal expansion an inflationary; 200; fiscal contraction Consider Figure 24 - 7. At the initial short - run equilibrium, there is_____output gap of_____. This gap could be closed by a_____. an inflationary; 100; fiscal contraction a recessionary; 200; fiscal expansion a recessionary; 100; fiscal contraction an inflationary; 350; fiscal expansion an inflationary; 200; fiscal contractionExplanation / Answer
When short run Equillibrium occurs at an output level above potential output the output gap is called as inflationary gapor Expansionary Gap.
There is a difference of 200 in potential and equillibrium hence Infaltionary gap of 200 this gap is to be closed by Fiscal contraction in order to minimize the consequences of growing inflation.
