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.
GDP Gap measures the percent difference in Real and Potential GDP
How to calculate potential gdp and natyral rate of unemployment?
Real GDP is a measure of the economic output of a country. The absolute measure only tells you what that output was for a particular period. The more important measure for employment is the difference between real GDP and a theoretical real GDP which economists use to calculate the maximum output of an economy. When the gap between real GDP and maximum output GDP is large, the unemployment rate will be large and vice versa.
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.

The "GDP gap" is the difference between what the economy could produce at its potential GDP and what it is producing, its actual GDP.The consequence of a negative GDP gap is that what is not produced -- the amount represented by the gap---is lost forever.Moreover, to the extent that this lost production represents capitalgoods, the potential production for the future is impaired.Future economic growth will be less.The noneconomiceffects of unemployment include the sense of failure created in parents and in their children, the feeling of being useless to society, of no longer belonging.

Assume certeris paribus, an expansionary gap is where real GDP is above the full employment, and a contractionary gap is where real GDP is below the full employment.
=100-97/100 = 3%

Look up Okun's law.
um, i think its 450,000,000.00 but, that's just multiplying the mpc .75 , by the real GDP gap which is 60,000,000,000.00. i have no idea
An expansionary gap is a negative output gap, which occurs when actual output is higher than potential output.
