Deficient demand leads to _____________ and can be corrected through _________
Which of the following options suits best in the above blank?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is option 4: Deflationary gap, fiscal and monetary policy
Here's why:
- Deficient demand leads to a deflationary gap, which occurs when aggregate demand is insufficient to achieve full employment and potential output in the economy.
- This gap can be corrected through fiscal policy (such as increasing government spending or reducing taxes) and monetary policy (such as lowering interest rates or increasing money supply) to stimulate demand and close the gap.
