Which factors of production affect the short-run and long-run aggregate supply curves? Any increase in the quantity of any of the factors of production—capital, land, labor, or technology—that are available will cause both the long-run and short-run aggregate supply curves to shift to the right.

In the short-run, the aggregate supply curve is usually upward sloping or a positive slope because the quantity supplied of commodity increases when the price also increases. Only one factor of production is fixed in the short-run and in most cases, it is capital.

The short-run aggregate supply curve (SRAS) lets us capture how all of the firms in an economy respond to price stickiness. When prices are sticky, the SRAS curve will slope upward. The SRAS curve shows that a higher price level leads to more output.

If aggregate demand increases to AD 2, in the short run, both real GDP and the price level rise. If aggregate demand decreases to AD 3, in the short run, both real GDP and the price level fall.

A shift in aggregate supply can be attributed to many variables, including changes in the size and quality of labor, technological innovations, an increase in wages, an increase in production costs, changes in producer taxes, and subsidies and changes in inflation.

In the long-run, increases in aggregate demand cause the price of a good or service to increase. When the demand increases the aggregate demand curve shifts to the right. The aggregate supply determines the extent to which the aggregate demand increases the output and prices of a good or service.

The AS curve is drawn given some nominal variable, such as the nominal wage rate. In the long run, the nominal wage rate varies with economic conditions (high unemployment leads to falling nominal wages — and vice-versa). The equation used to calculate the long-run aggregate supply is: Y = Y*.

What are the key factors that affect long run aggregate supply? Key factors that have an effect on a country’s supply-side potential: Higher Productivity of Labour and Capital i.e. a rise in output per person employed or increased efficiency of technology.

Why is the LRAS vertical? The LRAS is vertical because, in the long-run, the potential output an economy can produce isn’t related to the price level. The LRAS curve is also vertical at the full-employment level of output because this is the amount that would be produced once prices are fully able to adjust.

LRAS can shift if the economy’s productivity changes, either through an increase in the quantity of scarce resources, such as inward migration or organic population growth, or improvements in the quality of resources, such as through better education and training.

The Keynesian aggregate supply curve shows that the AS curve is significantly horizontal implying that the firm will supply whatever amount of goods is demanded at a particular price level during an economic depression.

The Phillips Curve depicts the relationship between unemployment and inflation. Therefore, we can say that in the long-run, the Phillips Curve will be vertical because irrespective of the price level, unemployment will return to its natural rate (Natural Rate of Unemployment a.k.a NRU).

Today, the original Phillips curve is still used in short-term scenarios, with the accepted wisdom being that government policymakers can manipulate the economy only on a temporary basis.

Supply shocks are not the only thing that will shift the short-run Phillips curve. The expected rate of inflation will also cause the short-run Phillips curve to shift. When the expected rate of inflation is increases, the SRPC shifts to the (left/right) and the actual rate of inflation (increases/decreases).

Or, if there is an increase in structural unemployment because workers’ job skills become obsolete, then the long-run Phillips curve will shift to the right (because the natural rate of unemployment increases).

In the long run, the most important factor shifting the AS curve is productivity growth. A higher level of productivity shifts the AS curve to the right, because with improved productivity, firms can produce a greater quantity of output at every price level.

The Phillips curve shows the relationship between inflation and unemployment. In the short-run, inflation and unemployment are inversely related; as one quantity increases, the other decreases. In the long-run, there is no trade-off. In the 1960’s, economists believed that the short-run Phillips curve was stable.

Importance of the Phillips Curve In “Analytics of Anti-Inflation Policy,” Samuelson and Solow pointed out that Phillips Curve could be utilized as a tool by policymakers. The Phillips Curve shows the various inflation rate-unemployment rate combinations that the economy can choose from.

ADVERTISEMENTS: The Phillips curve given by A.W. Phillips shows that there exist an inverse relationship between the rate of unemployment and the rate of increase in nominal wages.

The Phillips curve is an economic concept developed by A. W. Phillips stating that inflation and unemployment have a stable and inverse relationship. The theory claims that with economic growth comes inflation, which in turn should lead to more jobs and less unemployment.

The main implication of the Phillips curve is that, because a particular level of unemployment will influence a particular rate of wage increase, the two goals of low unemployment and a low rate of inflation may be incompatible.

The main criticism of the Philips Curve is that the negative relationship between unemployment and inflation is the short-run phenomenon. In the long-run, such a trade-off disappears, a situation where the unemployment rate moves towards the equilibrium, leading to the NAIRU (Friedman 1968; Phelps 1968).

If there was an increase in investment or growth in the size of the labour force this would shift the LRAS curve to the right. It states that aggregate supply is not determined by the price level or AD, but is determined by factors of production, – land, labour, capital and labour productivity.

Which of the following would shift the long-run Phillips curve to the right? When actual inflation exceeds expected inflation, unemployment is less than the natural rate of unemployment. shifts the short-run Phillips curve downward, and the unemployment-inflation trade-off is more favorable.

An increase in the money supply increases inflation and permanently decreases unemployment. In the long run, the unemployment rate is independent of inflation and the Phillips curve is vertical at the natural rate of unemployment. When actual inflation exceeds expected inflation, unemployment exceeds the natural rate.

This happens because expectations of further inflation and higher resource costs lead firms to produce less and charge higher prices. Output decreases and the price level increases. Output keeps falling and price level keeps rising until real GDP returns to full employment output.

In the long run, unemployment returns to the natural rate, while inflation is at a higher level. Thus, both factors (changes in inflationary expectations and supply shocks) cause the Phillips Curve to be vertical with no long run tradeoff between inflation and unemployment.

When the unemployment rate is 4.5 percent and the CPI is rising at a 12 percent rate, the federal government raises taxes and cuts government spending.

Way worse. Blanchflower’s calculations show that a one percentage point increase in the unemployment rate lowered our sense of well-being by nearly four times more than a one percentage point rise in inflation. In other words, unemployment makes people four times as miserable.

Unemployment that persists in the long run includes frictional and structural unemployment.
