In an economy experiencing demand-pull inflation, what is the likely relationship between cyclical unemployment and the inflationary gap during a recessionary period?

In an economy facing demand-pull inflation, demand for goods and services is higher than what the economy can produce, leading to rising prices. During a recession, however, the economy is not performing well, and many people are out of work, which increases cyclical unemployment. In this situation, the inflationary gap, which is the difference between what the economy is producing and what it could produce at full employment, tends to be negative or less significant. For example, if a country has a potential output of 1 million goods but is only producing 800,000 during a recession, the inflationary gap is negative because people are unemployed and not contributing to production. Therefore, during a recession, cyclical unemployment rises, and the inflationary gap typically narrows, showing that demand is insufficient to push prices higher.
