Document Summary

The purpose of the aggregate supply-aggregated demand model that you study in this chapter is to explain how real gdp and the price level are determined and how they interact. The (cid:395)ua(cid:374)tities i(cid:374) this (cid:862)(cid:373)a(cid:396)ket(cid:863) is (cid:396)eal gdp a(cid:374)d the price is the price level measured by the gdp deflator. One thing that the as-ad model shares with the competitive market model is that both distinguish between supply and quantity supplied. The quantity supplied of real gdp supplied is the total quantity of goods and services, valued n constant base-year (2007) dollars, that firms plan to produce during a given period. This quantity depends on the quantity of labour employed, the quantity of physical and human capital, and state of technology: at any given time, the quantity of capital and the state of technology are fixed. They depend on decisions that were made in the past. They depend on decisions that were made in the pat.

Period: 1 2 3 4 5 6

Technology shock: -400 -80 0 1,000 400 0
