$100 million

To reduce a $100 million inflationary gap:
  • Increase taxes:
    • A tax increase of $33.3 million will lead to a decrease in total spending of 33.3*-3 = $100 million.
    • Disposable incomes will fall, consumption and investment will decrease and AD will shift left, reducing the inflationary pressure
  • Reduce government spending:
    • A decrease in government spending of $25 million will reduce total spending by 25*4= $100 million.
    • Employment and income will fall, putting downward pressure on the price level and moving output closer to the full employment level
