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?

Suppose the Japanese economy has been experiencing slow growth. As a result, the Prime Minister, who thinks John Maynard Keynes was the greatest economist ever, has decided to increase government spending. The Prime Minister asks the head of the economic council to determine the increase in government spending necessary to bring the economy to full employment. Assume there is a GDP gap of 1 trillion yen and the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.60. What advice should the head of the economic council give the Prime Minister? O The recessionary gap is equal to 400 billion yen. O The inflationary gap is equal to 400 billion yen. O The recessionary gap is equal to 625 billion yen.
