What happens when potential growth is greater than actual growth and what macroeconomic problems is that likely to lead?

Potential growth refers to the maximum capacity an economy can grow at, it is always greater than actual growth because an economy cannot realistically function at full capacity. By full capacity i mean full employment, using all resources the most efficient way. Technically there shouldn't be any macroeconomic problems resulting from that because actual growth is always below potential growth, but if it gets further away then it could eventually lead to a recession.


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.


Define the term Economic growth?

Economic growth can be further split into Actual growth and potential growth.Actual growth is the increase in the GDP of the economy represented by the rightward shift of the Aggregate Demand.Potential growth is the increase in the productive capacity or the maximum possible output of an economy. this is represented by the rightward shift of the Aggregate Supply.


Define potential GDP under what circumstances does actual real GDP fall short of potential GDP equal potential GDPand exceed potential GDP?

Potential GDP is basically the sum of growth in productivity, growth in labor force, and growth in number of hours worked. In a mature economy like the US, change in number of hours worked is insignificant and often ignored. -Potential GDP is the level of real GDP that the economy would produce if it were at full employment. When real GDP falls short of potential GDP the economy is not at full employment. When the economy is at full employment real GDP equals potential GDP. Real GDP can exceed potential GDP only temporarily as it approaches and then recedes from a business cycle peak.


If the growth rate of labor force is 1.5 percent and the growth rate of labor productivity 1.25 percent then the potential growth rate is?

The formula is : Potential Growth rate = Annual Growth rate of labor force - Annual decline in the work weeks + Growth rate of labor productivity. So u need to have the annual decline in the work weeks to find the potential Growth Regards, Muntaha

What are the differences between living and non-living things, and how can we distinguish between examples of each category?

Living things are organisms that exhibit characteristics such as growth, reproduction, and response to stimuli. Non-living things do not possess these characteristics and are typically inanimate objects. To distinguish between living and non-living things, we can look for signs of life such as movement, growth, reproduction, and the ability to respond to stimuli. Living things also require energy and nutrients to survive, while non-living things do not have these requirements.
