If the economy is self-regulating, explain the correct sequence of events that occurs once the economy is in a recessionary gap to move the economy to long-run equilibrium


The actual unemployment rate is greater than the natural unemployment rate and actual Real GDP is less than Natural Real GDP. Labor market surpluses will push wages down and the SRAS curve will shift to the right. This shift will cause the price level to fall, so the real balance, interest rate and international trade effects will make the quantity demanded of Real GDP increase and the economy will move down the AD curve. Ultimately, the economy will move to long-run equilibrium and produce its Natural Real GDP.
