Module 18

Which of the following best explains why the short-run aggregate supply curve slopes upward?

Which of the following best explains why the long-run aggregate supply curve is vertical?

Which of the following is represented by the long-run aggregate supply curve?

Assume that the economy starts at the full employment level of output. Then, the government pays for the construction of physical capital such as roads, bridges, and dams. Will the increase in the amount of physical capital cause long-run aggregate supply to increase, decrease, or remain unchanged?

Assume that the economy starts at the full employment level of output. Then, the price level rises from 100 to 120. In the long-run, will real GDP supplied increase, decrease, or remain unchanged?
