Output Growth and the Long-Run Aggregate Supply Curve Aggregate Supply
The total of all planned production for the economy
10-2
Output Growth and the Long-Run Aggregate Supply Curve (cont'd)
Long-Run Aggregate Supply Curve
A vertical line representing the real output of goods and services after full adjustment has occurred
It represents the real GDP of the economy under conditions of full employment; the economy is near its production possibilities curve
10-3
Figure 10-1 The Production Possibilities and the Economy’s Long-Run Aggregate Supply Curve
10-4
Output Growth and the Long-Run Aggregate Supply Curve (cont'd)
LRAS is vertical
Input prices fully adjust to changes in output prices
Suppliers have no incentive to increase output
Unemployment is at the natural rate
Determined by endowments and technology (or existing resources)
10-5
Output Growth and the Long-Run Aggregate Supply Curve (cont'd)
Growth is shown by outward shifts of either the production possibilities curve or the LRAS curve caused by
Growth of population and the labor-force participation rate
Capital accumulation
Improvements in technology

Total Expenditures and Aggregate Demand Aggregate Demand
The total of all planned expenditures in the entire economy (planned may not equal actual)
10-9
Aggregate Demand Curve
A curve showing planned purchase rates for all final goods and services in the economy at various price levels, all other things held constant
Aggregate Demand versus Demand for a Single Good
When the aggregate demand curve is derived, we are looking at the entire circular flow of income and product.
When a demand curve is derived, we are looking at a single product in one market only.
Note the labels on the respective graphs are different.

As the price level rises, real GDP declines
The Aggregate Demand Curve (cont'd) What happens when the price
level rises or falls?The real-balance effect (or wealth effect)The interest rate effectThe open economy effect
10-12
The Aggregate Demand Curve (cont'd)
The Real-Balance Effect
The change in the real value of money balances when the price level changes
The Interest Rate Effect
Higher price levels indirectly increase the interest rate, which in turn causes a reduction in borrowing and spending.
The Open Economy Effect
Higher price levels result in foreigners’ desiring to buy fewer American-made goods while Americans desire more foreign-made goods (i.e., net exports fall).

Movement Along the Aggregate Demand Curve
Shifts in the Aggregate Demand Curve Any non-price-level change that increases
aggregate spending (on domestic goods) shifts AD to the right.
Any non-price-level change that decreases aggregate spending (on domestic goods) shifts AD to the left.

Long-Run Equilibrium and the Price Level For the economy as a whole, long-run
equilibrium occurs at the price level where the aggregate demand curve (AD) crosses the long-run aggregate supply curve (LRAS).

Long-Run Equilibrium and the Price Level (cont'd) The effects of economic growth on the
price level
Economic growth and secular deflation
Secular Deflation
A persistent decline in prices resulting from economic growth in the presence of stable aggregate demand
10-21
Secular Deflation versus Long-Run Price Stability in a Growing Economy
Secular deflation An increase in LRAS will, ceteris paribus, result in a
decrease in the price level.
Avoiding secular deflation If the AD curve shifts outward by the same amount as
the LRAS curve, the price level remains constant. The AD curve can be shifted outward by increasing the
money supply.

• When LRAS1 shifts to LRAS2, the price level rises from 120 to 140
• Inflation is caused by a decrease in LRAS
Figure 10-8 Explaining Persistent Inflation, Panel (b)
10-27
An increase in AD from AD1 to AD2 causes the price level to rise from 120 to 140, and an increase in AD causes inflation
