If equilibrium real GDP is equal to potential real GDP then A. cyclical unemployment is zero. B. the unemployment rate will be zero. C. frictional unemployment will be zero. D. structural unemployment will be zero. E. Both C and D
Option a is correct. At full employment real GDP is equal to
potential real GDP. At this full employment level, cyclical
employment is zero. Because at natural rate of unemployment, number
of job seekers is equal to number of available jobs in the market.
Therefore cyclical unemployment will be zero. At natural rate of
unemployment or full employment level of equilibrium, there will be
structural unemployment and frictional unemployment.
All other options are wrong. Because at full employment level, only
cyclical unemployment is zero, but structural unemployment and
frictional unemployment will not be zero
