Is the United States economy in an inflationary or recessionary gap?

Recessionary.


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.


What monetary policy should be implemented to correct an inflationary economy?

a sale of bonds to decrease the money supply, increasing interest rates, these are recessionary measures used to slow down the economy.

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.

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.
