In the first quarter of 2020, US real GDP declined about 9%, due to the economics shocks from the Covid 19 virus. If prices were completely flexible, and this means all prices, both inputs (such as labor), as well as output prices, what would you think would have been the drop in GDP? If prices are completely fixed, would the drop in GDP be greater or less than the flexible case? Why? If the Expenditure method of accounting for GDP, has to equal the Income Side, and the economy overproduces a particular item, say automobiles, the income side will also be higher, workers will buy the extra cars with extra income and the economy can gyrate indefinitely higher? Why or why not?
