Document Summary

Aggregate demand curve (ad curve) - shows the relationship between the aggregate (nominal) price level and real aggregate output (gdp) demanded. The quantity equation, money market equilibrium, can be employed to show the ad curve is downward sloping (see figure 1). Short-run aggregate supply curve (sras curve) - shows the pairs of real gdp and the (nominal) price level consistent with aggregate supply in the short-run (sr). Note: this implies that in the sr firms and workers are willing to do things that are not optimal in the long-run (such as hire in any amount of labour to satisfy demand in the sr). Long-run aggregate supply curve (lras curve) - shows the pairs of real gdp and the (nominal) price level consistent with aggregate supply in the long-run (lr). Since output is determined solely by real factors (inputs and technology) in the long-run (recall chapter 3) real. Gdp in the long-run is independent of the aggregate price level.
