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.

What does GDP gap measure the difference between?
GDP Gap measures the percent difference in Real and Potential GDP
How do you calculate the GDP gap?
How to calculate potential gdp and natyral rate of unemployment?
A large negative GDP gap implies?
high rae of unemployment
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.
If the economy is experiencing a recessionary GDP gap then aggregate?
The aggregate demand must be increased so that producers can sell more goods.

What does a contractionary gap imply about the actual rate of unemployment relative to the natural rate of unemployment?
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.
What are the consequences of a negative GDP gap?
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.
A large negative GDP gap implies?
high rae of unemployment
What is the real GDP gap if the real GDP is currently 97 billion per year and natural real GDP is currently 100 billion?
=100-97/100 = 3%

How do you calculate the GDP gap if unemployment rate in the economy is 9.9 and the marginal propensity to consume is 0.75 with a potential GDP of 9000 billion?
Look up Okun's law.
If real GDP equal 100 billion potential output equals 160 billion and the marginal propensity to cosume 0.75 what is the change necessary to close a gap?
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
