Document Summary

Ch. 23 output and prices in the short run. Non-price factors that shift ae curve, shift ae curve: consumption, investment, government spending, exports or imports. Openness and the slope of the ad curve: Ad curves are flatter in open economies why: price level change has a larger effect on output, both have a consumption effect, open economies also adjust net exports. Ex: aggregate expenditure increases, equilibrium requires price level to rise, partially mitigates ae increase, with upward sloping as curve, value of the multiplier is reduced. Aggregate supply curve has two features: upward sloping, slope is increasing as real gdp increases. Increasing production causes increases in costs: many firms face diminishing returns of scale. When output is low, it"s easy to expand output. When output is high, it"s difficult to expand further. Increasing the slope to the as curve increases the multiplier. When output is low, it"s east to expand output.
