Inflation and excess demand
Let pt be (the log) of CPI, yt denotes (the log of) output in the selected country’s economy (fixed prices), and yt* is the log of a measure of potential output (equilibrium growth path) for the economy. Assume that the following simple relationship holds between the annual rate of CPI growth, pt, and “output gap” measured by the (log) difference (yt - yt*).
What is the interpretation of the “output gap” in words?
