Option 2 : Inflationary gap
The correct answer is Option 2.
Inflationary gap
- An inflationary gap exists when the demand for goods and services exceeds production due to factors such as higher levels of overall employment, increased trade activities, or elevated government expenditure.
- Against this backdrop, the real GDP can exceed the potential GDP, resulting in an inflationary gap.
- The amount by which the equilibrium level of real GDP exceeds the full employment level of GDP is called the Inflationary gap.
Recessionary Gap
- It can be defined as the difference between the real GDP and potential GDP at the full employment level.
- This is also known as the contractionary gap.
- Real GDP is always outweighed by potential GDP because the economy’s aggregate output is always lower than the aggregate output that would be obtained at full employment.
