Factors that shift AS Curve
- input prices
-nominal wages
-productivity
AS shifts right when
-input prices decrease, profits increase, GDP increase
-wages decrease, profits increase, GDP increase
-productivity increase, profits increase, GDP increase
AS shifts left when
-input increase, profits decrease, GDP decrease
-wages increase, profits decrease, GDP decrease
-productivity decrease profits decrease, GDP decrease
Recessionary Gap
-economy in recession
-unemployment high
-overtime high unemployment then low wages then SRAS shifts right
-YA increase when it equals to YP
Inflationary Gap
-economy overheating
-unemployment low
-overtime wages increase then SRAS shifts left
-YA decrease when it equals to YP
3 Factors that shift LRAS
-physical capitol
-human capitol
-technology
in LRAS, if profit increases then
AS increases
