hello everyone hi welcome to the channel of WallStreetmojo watch the video
[14]
till the end also if you are new to this channel then you can subscribe us by
[18]
clicking the bell ican today we have a topic with us is called recessionary gap
[22]
now what exactly this is all about over it's the recession first over here
[27]
there's a dialogue box showing us the definition it is a gap that can be
[31]
defined as a difference between the real GDP and the potentials the GDP data that
[36]
should have been possible at the full employment level so this is also known
[39]
as a contractionary gap try and get into the deeper note in this particular thing
[46]
first the real GDP is always it's gonna out weighted it by the potential GDP
[53]
remember this because the aggregate output of the economy is always lower
[59]
than the aggregate output that would have opted in the full employment level
[64]
now in simpler words we can say that this is the gap between the actual
[69]
production and the full employment output when the actual output is here
[73]
than the natural level of output the recessionary graph in order depicts you
[80]
know the situation and it is the economic situation where the real GDP
[85]
real GDP is actually lower than the natural GDP now the economy faces a
[93]
recessionary gap when the real output is lower than the expected as shown so the
[105]
aggregate demand of the shorter aggregate supply of intersects the point
[109]
left to the LRS I will show you that graph the graph looks something like
[115]
this you see over here the aggregate demand and the short-run aggregate
[122]
supply SRS it intersects the point of LRAS that is the long-run aggregate
[128]
supply and you can see the bid depicted how things work
[132]
this is LRAS and SRS and this is the midpoint so let me give you've used
[137]
some explanation on why this kind of a recessionary gap comes see when a
[144]
recession happens when the economy is not reaching its full potential there
[150]
comes a recessionary gap and it measures the difference between where the economy
[158]
where the economy is and where the economics should be so the idle
[162]
situation will prevail when the economy is in the long run equilibrium okay
[169]
where all the resources are utilized to their maximum and most efficient
[173]
capacity so it should be kept in mind that you know the ideal economic does
[177]
not mean zero unemployment factories running 24 hours 7 days a week and
[183]
in such a situation the natural unemployment rate should be there which
[190]
includes individuals who are unemployed because they are in transition also the
[195]
factory will have a down time they will have the down time for maintenance or a
[200]
up gradation so this is a pointer this is pointed out that economy is operating
[205]
below the full employment level always believed that and thereby leading to our
[210]
downfall of the general price level in the long term so it comes into the
[215]
forefront during the times of the economic downturn and related to the
[225]
hire and employment numbers so although it implies economic downturn it can
[229]
remain stable suggests you know or short-term economic which may be
[237]
damaging to an economy as an unstable period so this happens because of the
[241]
long period or lower GDP production and inhibits you know the growth is the main
[246]
contributor - you can say that - the sustained hire and employment levels so
[255]
since production level changes to basically compensate it the prices also
[260]
changes so this is the sign that the economy is moving
[264]
into a recession and may lead to unfavorable exchange dates for our
[269]
foreign currencies now when an exchange rate for foreign currency is affected it
[273]
also affects the financial returns on the exported goods so the lower return
[280]
on the exported good contributed less towards the exporting countries GDP and
[284]
further it acts as a catalyst to the recessionary trend now I'll take you to
[292]
the causes spot what leads to this see the mean mainly it happens due to the
[297]
inefficient you can say allocation of resources thus resulting you know in
[306]
downturn in the economy as a situation the firm's have lower profit and are
[311]
bound to lay off more workers so this leads to an increase in unemployment
[319]
does you know decreasing the consumer spending it leads to the consumer
[326]
spending in the aggregate demands when their long run a recessionary gap has a
[330]
relationship with the business cycle contraction so in short the causes of
[337]
creation of this gap is decrease in the spending by the government and increase
[345]
in the population that requires more resources to sustain itself and it
[348]
increases the tax rate also by the government that affects demand level due
[353]
to the decrease in the supply of the money in the economy and fluctuation in
[357]
the price again resulting in the decrease in the consumption of demand
[360]
well what exactly are the effects of the same see the the effect of the gap
[367]
increase in unemployment level in the economy as you know the economy is
[379]
creating lesser than the natural GDP growth level so it also results in lower
[390]
production and lower economic
[397]
growth so there is a contraction of the what we call as the business cycle due
[404]
to lower level of demands and lesser supply of money in the overall economy
[408]
what exactly is a solution well on the solution part to find the solution to
[414]
the recessionary gap the government's implement the expansion or expansionary
[419]
monetary and fiscal policy so monetary policy is implemented by reducing the
[426]
interest rate okay in the economy in order to increase the supply of money to
[435]
enhance growth until the fiscal policy is implemented by reduction of the taxes
[439]
taxes will go down the fiscal policy also it decreases taxes but in at the
[445]
center of it is increasing the government spending in order to boost
[451]
the demand now and what is the correlation between the recessionary gap
[457]
and the unemployment part what is the difference or what is the correlation it
[464]
must be noted that you know the effect of the recessionary gap is increasing in
[468]
employment when the economy is in the downturn phase then the demand for the
[474]
goods and services decreases as unemployment is on the rise and in this
[478]
situation the higher the unemployment level the lower is the overall demand
[482]
which lowers in necessary production and it further lowers down to realize GDP so
[486]
with a fall in the amount of the production few employees are needed to
[489]
get to meet the production demands and leading to addition job losses so in
[494]
this situation like where the company profits are standstill or they are
[498]
falling a company cannot offer higher wages and in many industry there are Pay
[503]
cuts in this kind of situation and this happens due to the change in the
[508]
internal businesses practice or circumferential cuts which are as a
[515]
result of the effect on the industries where a portion of the workers wages is
[519]
based on tips like you know restaurants so finally on the conclusion note on our
[524]
topic to conclude we can see that number the main cause of the creation of
[527]
recessionary gap is you know high level and vendors a high price they will
[532]
come due to the inflation that results in the lower consumption or overall
[537]
demand and the effect of it creates a cyclic unemployment in the economic this
[542]
increase in the government spending and implementation the policies to increase
[546]
the supply of money in order to boost demand is the solution to get rid of
[550]
this problem so that's it for this particular topic if you have learned and
