An article written by Okun in the year 1962 became the base of an empirical relationship between the rate of unemployment and the national output, or the Gross National Product. The law indicates a 3% point increase in output for every 1 point reduction in the unemployment rate, but with the other factors remaining constant, the rise in the number of labor the productivity increases as well.
The full statement according to Martin F.J. Prachowny (Martin F. J. Prachowny. (1993). Okun's Law: Theoretical Foundations and Revised Estimates. The Review of Economics and Statistics, 75(2), 331-336. doi:10.2307/2109440) -
The equation is -
The gap version of the Okun's Law is as follows -
Unemployment rate = c + d ∗(Gap between potential output and actual output).
Where "c" is interpreted as the unemployment rate associated with full employment. The "d" should be positive.
To calculate the real output -
The black regression line shows the estimated difference version of Okun’s law: Change in the unemployment rate = 0.23–0.07 ∗(Real output growth).
To calculate the potential output -
ΔU Y t t = β (Δ − µ) where ∆U is the change in the unemployment rate, ∆Y is growth in log GDP (typically represented in terms of annualized percentage changes) and µ is the rate of GDP growth consistent with stable unemployment.
To interpret the output gap in percentage form, the percentage GDP gap is the actual GDP minus the potential GDP divided by the potential GDP.

1. According to Okun's Law, how much output would be lost if the nation's unemployment rate increased from 4.6 to 5.4 percent?
just looking to check my answers for a, b, and d.
please show me how you solved each part as well, thanks!
#4 (4 points) In Q4 of 2019 the real potential GDP was $19,099.88 billion. Use this fact to answer the following: a) What would the output gap be if the actual real GDP in Q4 of 2019 was $19,220.49 billion? b What was the cyclical unemployment rate? (use Okun's Law) c) What was the actual unemployment rate in...
Okun's Law describes an empirically observed correlation between the unemployment rate (usually plotted on the horizontal axis and the real output gap (ie potential GDP net actual GDP). Given what you have learned about Macroeconomics, which of the following would you deduce? Select an answer and submit. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer. The correlation is negative and causal because labor is a factor of production for the aggregate production function. b The correlation...
