A Demand Pull Inflation
If aggregate expenditure is greater than the potential output of the economy, then firms will have to pay higher prices for its factors of production, including overtime to its workers, and pay higher variable costs when using existing facilities for longer time periods to increase production. This increased demand leads to an expansionary output gap (aka inflationary gap), which, in turn, increases prices sharply — demand-pull inflation.
