Document Summary

A curve indicating equilibrium gdp at each price level, with a constant money supply: equilibrium-output-at-each-price-level curve, downward-sloping curve. Equilibrium total output on the horizontal axis: not a demand curve at all. Movements along the ad curve: a change in the price level causes equilibrium gdp to change. In the short run: we treat the wage rate as given. In the long run: the wage rate can change, when output is above full employment. Wage rate will rise, shifting the as curve upward: when output is below full employment. Wage rate will fall, shifting the as curve downward. Self-correcting mechanism: adjustment process: price and wage changes return the economy to full- employment output in the long run. If a demand shock pulls the economy away from full employment: changes in the wage rate and the price level. Will eventually cause the economy to correct itself and return to full- employment output.
