Document Summary

Econ201 lecture 19: aggregate supply & demand (part 3) The business cycle occurs because aggregate demand and short-run aggregate supply fluctuate. But money wage rate does not change rapidly enough to keep real gdp at potential gdp. The amount by which real gdp exceeds potential gdp is called the inflationary gap. Figures c and d show below full-employment equilibrium (neri 5) The amount by which real gdp is less than potential gdp is called recessionary gap. Figure d also shows how as the economy moves from one type of short-run equilibrium to another, real gdp fluctuates around potential gdp in the business cycle. An increase in ad shifts the ad curve rightward (neri 6) Firms increase production and price level rises in the short-run (point b) At the new short run equilibrium (point b), there is an inflationary gap. In the long run, wage rates go up and the sas curve shifts leftward.
