What happens if the injections are less than the leakages at full employment level of national income ?

  • A.Inflationary Gap
  • B.Equilibrium
  • C.Hyper-inflation
  • D.Deflationary Gap

Answer: D

The result is a Deflationary Gap.

At the full-employment level of income, if injections (investment, government spending, exports) are less than leakages (saving, taxes, imports), aggregate demand falls short of full-employment output. The shortfall is the deflationary gap; income falls below full employment and unemployment results.

An inflationary gap is the opposite case, with injections exceeding leakages at full employment. Equilibrium requires injections to equal leakages. Hyper-inflation is extremely rapid inflation, not a result of deficient demand.
