- 2. L Give Up! Suppose the Japanese economy has been experiencing slow growth. As a result, the Prime Minister, who thinks John Maynard Keynes was the greatest economist ever, has decided to increase government spending. The Prime Minister asks the head of the economic council to determine the increase in government spending necessary to bring the economy to full employment. Assume there is a GDP gap of 1 trillion yen and the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.60. What advice should the head of the economic council give the Prime Minister? O The recessionary gap is equal to 400 billion yen. O The inflationary gap is equal to 400 billion yen. O The recessionary gap is equal to 625 billion yen.
