Hello, my question is:

If the short run AS curve shifts to the left, this creates a _________ price level in the short run and a(n)________ gap in the short-run.

A) higher; inflationary

B) higher: recessionary

C) lower; recessionary

D) lower; inflationary

I think the answer is A because you shift the AS to the left in order to close an "inflationary Gap" however many people say its recessionary. Can you please confirm with me?
