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? What is the multiplier in this example?
b. Will there be an inflationary expenditure gap or a recessionary
expenditure gap if the full-employment level of output is $500
billion? By how much would aggregate expenditures in
column 3 have to change at each level of GDP to eliminate the
gap? 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?
