Expert Solution

Answer: drop in wages that shifts the aggregate supply outwards.

Recessionary gap occurs when when an economy produces below its potential level. It occurs when there is a gap between actual output and potential output of the economy. When actual output falls short of potential output, there should be an increase in aggregate supply. If wages are lowered, firms will hire more employees which will reduce unemployment and will increase the production.
