Explain in details how high inflation can lead to a recession in several ways.
As the Federal Reserve sharply raises rates in the face if substantial inflationary pressures, economists are trying to gauge the extent to which the U.S. labor market is slowing.
First, how might you try to measure labor market slack?
Second, across the business cycle, describe how the gap between whatever is true unemployment and a notion of “full” employment generally relates to inflationary pressures.
Finally, relate this gap to the economy’s overall ‘output gap’ (actual GDP vs. potential GDP).
“Households tend to increase their spending during a recession because they realize that more spending will cause firms to hire more workers and the problem of unemployment will be solved.” Do you agree or disagree? Explain.
