In early 2017, policymakers at the Federal Reserve forecast that real GDP during 2017 would increase faster than potential GDP and that the inflation rate for the year would be about 1.9 percent.
Source: Federal Open Market Committee, "Advance Release of Table 1 of the Summary of Economic Projections to be Released with the FOMC Minutes," March15, 2017.
Fill in the missing values in the table with estimates that are consistent with these forecasts. Assume that the growth rate for real GDP between 2016 and 2017 is 0.32 percentage points higher than the percentage change in potential output between those years (rounded to two decimal places).
