Document Summary
The short run equilibrium (y* where ad = as) does not always equal to potential gdp. Given that y* < yp, what happens in the long run to: (recessionary gap) Falls as the as expands (shifts right) Will impact net exports: p decrease => export increase. Graph and answer for an inflationary gap. To eliminate a recession (unemployment), the government has policy options: If we wait long enough, the self correcting mechanism will bring the economy back to the full employment equilibrium. Unions might be willing the take decrease in wage rate to keep employment. 2) the government can use expansionary fiscal policy to increase ad to expand real gdp and close the gap. Could increase g or decrease t to shift the ad. Will cause inflation (may crowd out private spending) The gov"t does not want to wait for the self correcting mechanism (as to shift)
