Concept 23: Aggregate Supply Curve


The aggregate supply curve shows the positive relationship between GDP and the price level

  • In the very short run, companies change output to some degree without changing prices.
  • In the short run input prices are fixed so businesses expand real output when output prices increase.
  • In the long run aggregate supply is perfectly inelastic (vertical) and represents the potential GDP which is the full-employment level of economic output.
