Multiple Choice

Choose the correct statement.

• B)Automatic stimulus has no effect on a recessionary gap.
• C)Contractionary fiscal policy can eliminate inflationary pressure.
• D)Eliminating an inflationary gap is very simple - calculate the size of the gap and the size of the multiplier, then change government expenditure for an immediate decrease in real GDP.
