An economy is operating with output $400 billion below its natural rate, and fiscal policy-makers want to close this recessionary gap. The central bank agrees to adjust the money supply to hold the interest rate constant, so there is no crowding out.

In what direction and by how much would government spending need to change to close the recessionary gap?
