Answer:
Part 1. Additional spending on national park facilities & A tax cut is the answer.
Part 2. Expansionary
Explanation:
The Natural level of real GDP is also associated with the natural rate of unemployment. When the real gdp < natural real gdp, the economy is said to be in a recession. Thus unemplyment rate is> natural rate of unemployment.
Reason is as follows:
A tax cut, depends if its permanent or not (to see the difference between short and long run effects). However, for this scenario, a tax cut should give consumers more disposable income, which would increase consumption, thus increasing total output. The opposit effect would happen for a tax increase. Hence a tax cut is a policy that could bring gdp near natural GDP.
A reduction in government purchases would lower G, which would lower Y too. so all else equal, a reduction in government purchases wouldn't help increase output, rather it may fall instead. So this is not a solution for bringing actual gdp near natural GDP.
Additional spending on national park facilities:- Will increase income of someone or the other and thus would create extra demand . Thus it would give some consumers more disposable income, which would help them increase C, thus would be increasing total output. So this is can be a solution for bringing actual gdp near natural GDP.
