Document Summary

A decrease in aggregate supply decreases the equilibrium real domestic output and increases the price level, resulting in cost-push inflation. An increase in aggregate supply driven by productivity increases can offset the inflationary pressures from an increase in aggregate demand (ad): an increase in as, ceteris paribus, will result in a higher real gdp and lower price level. A decrease in as, ceteris paribus, will result in a lower real gdp and higher price level. When the determinants of short-run aggregate supply (as) change, they alter the per-unit production cost at each price level and thereby (change) aggregate supply. An increase in business taxes will decrease as. A decrease in aggregate supply holding ad constant would cause prices to increase and real gdp to decrease. A decrease in aggregate demand along the horizontal range of the aggregate supply curve will, in the short run, cause prices to remain unchanged and output (real gdp) decrease.
