Okun's law suggests that
2*(unemployment rate-natural rate of unemployment)=Percent change in output
Potential Real GDP, Y | Natural rate of unemployment, N | Actual rate of unemployment, A | Negative GDP Gap=G= 2*(A-N) | Absolute Gap of output, GY/100 |

Unemployment rate: natural rate of unemployment-0.5 x (output gap) 1. Use Okun's Law to estimate the following: a) The current US unemployment rate is around 10%, and level of inflation is close to 0%. If the natural rate of unemployment is 6%, what can we say about the output gap (or at what production capacity is the economy is operating relative to the potential capacity is the économy is operating relative to the potential output?)? The current US unemployment rate...
