Aggregate Supply Explained in Multiple Languages

The document defines aggregate supply as the total supply of goods and services produced within an economy at a given overall price level in a given time period. It notes that aggregate supply is positively related to the price level in the short run but vertical or close to vertical in the long run. It also discusses how shifts in aggregate demand and aggregate supply curves impact equilibrium output and price levels, with a rightward shift increasing both and a leftward shift decreasing both. The document includes four graphs illustrating these concepts.

Aggregate Supply
The total supply of goods and services produced within an economy at a given overall price level
in a given time period.

It is the total amount of goods and services that firms are willing to sell at a given price level in
an economy.

Aggregate Supply Curve


Shows relationship between nation’s overall price level and the quantity of goods and services
produce by that nation’s suppliers

There is a positive relationship between aggregate supply and the price level. Rising prices are
usually signals for businesses to expand production to meet a higher level of aggregate demand.

The curve is upward sloping in the short run and vertical, or close to vertical, in the long run.

Short-Run and Long-Run Macroeconomics Equilibrium:


The equilibrium in the short-run is depicted by the intersection of the Aggregate Demand (AD)
curve and the Short-Run Aggregate Supply (SAS) curve. When either AD or SAS shifts, the
equilibrium point is changed.

Graph 1: Shift to the right of the AD curve will cause the equilibrium output as well as the price
level to increase.

Shift to the Right of the AD Curve

Graph 2: If the AD curve were to shift to the left, opposite would be true: output and price level
will decrease.

AD Curve Will Shift to the Left

Graph 3: A shift to the left in SAS, will cause the price level to rise while equilibrium output will
decrease.

Graph 4: Shift to the right of SAS curve, will decrease price level and increase output.
