Document Summary

We derive the ad curve from the is-lm model in topic 7. Aggregate supply shows the relationship between the price level and the amount of goods and services supplied: there are 2 different as curves: the long-run aggregate supply (lras) and the short-run aggregate supply (sras). The long run: the vertical aggregate supply curve (lras: the classical theory is used to analyze the economy in the long run, the long-run level of output is called the full-employment or natural level of output (yfe). From the short run to the long run. Suppose the central bank lowers the level of money supply: 9-4 stabilization policy: we can use the as-ad model to address the following issues: To analyze the impacts of both supply shocks (shocks that alter the production costs) and demand shocks (shocks that shift the ad curve) on the economy in both short run and long run.
