deflationary gap and inflationary gap
3y ago#1An inflationary gap, is the amount by which the gross domestic product exceeds potential full-employment GDP. Competition for labour pushes up wages.
A deflationary gap is when more labour and products are available than needed. Prices then suffer downward pressure.
A budget deficit implies the government is borrowing. When it spends that money, demand increases and deflationary pressures and the deflationary gap are reduced.
