Macroeconomics - Aggregate demand–aggregate supply

1 The AD-AS model has become the standard textbook model for

explaining the macroeconomy. This model shows the price level and level of real output given the equilibrium

in aggregate demand and aggregate supply. The aggregate demand

curve's downward slope means that more output is demanded at lower

price levels. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-aggregate-supply-toolkit.html

Macroeconomics - Aggregate demand–aggregate supply

1 In the conventional Keynesian use of the AS-AD model, the aggregate supply

curve is horizontal at low levels of output and becomes inelastic near the point of potential output, which corresponds with

full employment. Since the economy cannot produce beyond more than

potential output, any AD expansion will lead to higher price levels instead of

higher output.

Aggregate demand - Aggregate demand-aggregate supply model

1 Carefully using ideas from the theory of supply and demand, aggregate supply can

help determine the extent to which increases in aggregate demand lead to increases in

real output (economics)|output or instead to increases in prices (inflation). In the diagram, an increase in any of the

components of 'AD' (at any given 'P') shifts the 'AD' curve to the right. This increases

both the level of real production ('Y') and the average price level ('P').

Aggregate supply

1 In economics, 'aggregate supply' is the total supply of goods and

services that firms in a national economy plan on selling during a specific time period. It is the total amount of goods and services that firms are willing to sell at a given

price level in an economy.

Aggregate supply - Analysis

1 *aggregate supply is usually inadequate to supply ample

opportunity

Aggregate supply - Different scopes

1 # Short run aggregate supply — During the short-run, firms possess

one fixed factor of production (usually capital). This does not

however prevent outward shifts in the SRAS curve, which will result in

increased output/real GDP at a given price. Therefore, a positive

correlation between price level and output is shown by the SRAS curve.

Aggregate supply - Different scopes

1 # Long run aggregate supply (LRAS) — Over the long run, only capital, labour, and technology affect the LRAS in the macroeconomic model

because at this point everything in the economy is assumed to be used optimally. In most

situations, the LRAS is viewed as static because it shifts the slowest of the three. The LRAS is

shown as perfectly vertical, reflecting economists' belief that changes in aggregate demand (AD) have an only temporary change

on the economy's total output.

Aggregate supply - Different scopes

1 When graphing an aggregate supply and demand model, the MRAS is

generally graphed after aggregate demand (AD), SRAS, and LRAS have been graphed, and then placed so

that the equilibria occur at the same point

Aggregate supply - Different scopes

1 In a standard aggregate supply demand model, the output (Y) is the x axis and price (P) is the y axis. An increase in aggregate demand shifts the AD curve rightward, bringing the equilibrium point horizontally along

the SRAS until it reaches the new AD. This point is the short run

equilibrium.

Aggregate expenditure - Aggregate Expenditure and Aggregate Supply

1 In an under-employment equilibrium the Keynesian Cross refers to the

point of intersection of the Aggregate Supply and the Aggregate

Expenditure curve

Lucas aggregate supply function

1 The 'Lucas aggregate supply function' or 'Lucas 'surprise' supply

function', based on the 'Lucas imperfect information model', is a

representation of aggregate supply based on the work of New classical

macroeconomics|new classical economist Robert Lucas, Jr.|Robert

Lucas

Lucas aggregate supply function - Background

1 New classical made its first attempt to model aggregate supply in Lucas

and Leonard Rapping (1969).Snowdon and Vane (2005),

233

Lucas aggregate supply function - Theory

1 The simple version models aggregate output as a function of the price surprise. A more complicated expression of the Lucas supply

curve adds expectations to the model. Aggregate supply is a function of the natural

level of output(Y_) and the difference between actual prices (P_t) and the expected price level given past information \Omega_ times a coefficient based on an economy's

sensitivity to price surprises (\alpha):Snowdon and Vane (2005), 234.

1 P = Pe(1+μ) F(u,z). This is the aggregate supply curve. Where the

price is determined by expected price, unemployment and z the catch

AD-AS model - Aggregate supply curve

1 The aggregate supply curve may reflect either labor market

disequilibrium or labor market equilibrium. In either case, it shows

how much output is supplied by firms at various potential price levels. The aggregate supply curve (AS curve)

describes for each given price level, the quantity of output the firms plan

to supply.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-aggregate-supply-toolkit.html

AD-AS model - Aggregate supply curve

1 However, the Keynesian aggregate supply curve also contains a normally

upward-sloping region where aggregate supply responds

accordingly to changes in price level

AD-AS model - Aggregate supply curve

1 Factor prices increase if producing at a point beyond full employment

output, shifting the short-run aggregate supply inwards so

equilibrium occurs somewhere along full employment output

AD-AS model - Shifts in aggregate supply curves

1 The Keynesian model, in which there is no long-run aggregate supply

curve and the classical model, in the case of the short-run aggregate

supply curve, are affected by the same determinants

AD-AS model - Shifts in aggregate supply curves

1 The long-run aggregate supply curve of the classical model is affected by

events that affect the potential output of the economy. Factors revolve around changes in the

quality and quantity of factors of production.

AD-AS model - Shifts of aggregate demand and aggregate supply

1 The following summarizes the exogenous events that could shift the

aggregate supply or aggregate demand curve to the right.

Exogenous events happening in the opposite direction would shift the

relevant curve in the opposite direction.

AD-AS model - Shifts of aggregate supply

1 The following exogenous events would shift the short-run aggregate

supply curve to the right. As a result, the price level would drop and real

GDP would increase.
