Answer to Question 1

Real GDP often differs from potential GDP. Real GDP equals potential GDP only when the economy is at full employment. However, the economy is not always at full employment. When employment is less than full employment, real GDP is less than potential GDP and the economy is in a recession. When employment exceeds full employment, real GDP exceeds potential GDP and the economy is in an expansion.
