Chapter 18

Chapter Objectives
• Relationship between short-run and long-run aggregate supply
• Applying the “extended” AD-AS model
• The Phillips curve• No long-run tradeoff between
inflation and unemployment• Taxes and aggregate supply
18-2
From Short Run to Long Run
• Short run–Input prices inflexible
–Upward sloping aggregate supply
• Long run–Input prices fully flexible
–Vertical aggregate supply
• The transition?18-3
From Short Run to Long Run
• Production above potential output:–High demand for inputs
–Input prices rise
–Short run aggregate supply shifts left
–Return to potential output
• Production below potential output
• Graphical examples… 18-4

Extended AD-AS Model
• Explaining ongoing inflation–Ongoing economic growth shifts
aggregate supply
–Ongoing increases in money supply shift aggregate demand
• Small positive rate of inflation
18-10
Inflation and Unemployment
• Low inflation and unemployment–Fed’s major goals
–Compatible or conflicting?
• Short-run tradeoff
• Supply shocks cause both rates to rise
• No long-run tradeoff18-11

The Phillips Curve
18-13
• 1960s economists believed in stable, predictable tradeoff
• Phillips curve shifts over time
• Adverse supply shocks 1970s
–OPEC oil price shock
–Stagflation
• Stagflation’s demise 1980s
The Phillips Curve
18-14
• No long-run tradeoff between inflation and unemployment
• Short-run Phillips curve
–Role of expected inflation
• Long-run vertical Phillips curve
• Disinflation

Taxes and Aggregate Supply

Taxes and Aggregate Supply
• Criticisms of the Laffer curve–Taxes, incentives, and time–Inflation and higher real interest
rates–Position on the curve
• Rebuttal and evaluation
18-18
Taxes and Real GDP
• New findings suggest tax increases reduce real GDP (Romer and Romer 2008)
• Positive output shocks raise tax revenues
• Difficult to separate effects of tax changes from other effects
• Investment falls sharply in response to tax changes
18-19
