Is the United States economy in an inflationary or recessionary gap?
Recessionary.
If there is a recessionary gap of 1000 billion and the mpc is 0.75 how much would the government spend to close the recessionary gap?
500 billion
If the equilibrium output is below potential output?
This is known as the recessionary gap
If full employment in this economy is 130 million will there be an inflationary expenditure gap or a recessionary gap What will be the consequence of this gap By how much would aggregate expenditures?
A recessionary gap. Equilibrium GDP is $600 billion, while full employment GDP is $700 billion. Employment will be 20 million less than at full employment. Aggregate expenditures would have to increase by $20 billion (= $700 billion -$680 billion) at each level of GDP to eliminate the recessionary gap. The MPC is .8, so the multiplier is 5.
If the economy is experiencing a recessionary GDP gap then aggregate?
The aggregate demand must be increased so that producers can sell more goods.

Why Recessionary gap happens?
Recessionary gap occurs because the nations gross domestic product is lower than it is at full employment. This often occurs when an economy is beginning a recession.
Which kind of unemployment occurs only when the economy has a recessionary gap?
Cyclical !

What actions would a modern Keynesian economist advocate to cure a recessionary gap?
a Keynesian would argue that the essence to solve recession lies with demand management. When an economy is experiencing a boom (inflationary gap), government should tax people, reduce spending ...etc... to soak up the demand. When an economy is experiencing a bust (recessionary gap), government should decrease tax and increase government spending (using money they gained during the boom) to increase the demand of an economy.
What is the GDP gap?
A GDP gap is the difference between actual GDP and potential GDP. The calculation of the GDP gap is actual output minus potential output. If this calculation yields a positive number it is called an inflationary gap and indicates the increased growth of aggregate demand is outpacing the growth of aggregate supply which may possibly create inflation. If the calculation yields a negative number it is called a recessionary gap- possible signifying deflation.
What is the adjective of recession?
The adjective of recession is recessionary.
Why would an expansionary gap lead to a change in inflation Why would a recessionary gap lead to a change in inflation?
Assuming that the aggregate demand curve does not move, the only way for the gap to be closed is by a shift in aggregate supply. These gaps cause a change in inflation expectations, moving the AS curve left (exp) or right (rec) back to long term equilibrium and changing the inflation rate.
Does Economies have a self correcting mechanism for inflationary and recessionary gaps Expain?
Yes they do. In an inflationary gap the equilibrium with the aggregate demand and the short run aggregate supply curves is higher than the long run aggregate supply curve. Eventually, the short run aggregate supply curve will slowly move to the left towards equilibrium. Output in an inflationary gap cannot be held up. This is not usually allowed, usually monetary and fiscal policies work to move the aggregate demand. In a recessionary gap, the opposite will happen. The short run aggregate supply curve will move to the right slowly towards equilibrium because the natural rate of unemployment is higher than the actual rate of unemployment so people will be willing to work for less.
