How does an economy get out of an inflationary gap?(use a graph.)
There will be no true or false here.
An inflationary gap is situation where the Aggregate demand in the economy is at a higher level than the potential output. I.e. the equilibrium in the economy will be higher output level and higher price and the AS-AD will meet at the right side of the LRAS.
The point is shown as A in the graph below. Starting from this point A decrease in the aggregate demand will decrease the inflationary gap. It can be due to a contractionary fiscal or monetary policy. It will shift the AD curve to the left and the new equilibrium will be at a lower price and lower output.
