Document Summary

The business cycle occurs because aggregate demand and the short-run aggregate supply uctuate, but the money wage does not change rapidly enough to keep real. A full-employment equilibrium is an equilibrium in which real gdp equals potential. A below full-employment equilibrium is an equilibrium in which potential gdp exceeds real gdp: the amount by which real gdp is less than potential gdp is called a recessionary gap. As the economy moves from one type of short-run equilibrium to another, real gdp. Uctuates around potential gdp in a business cycle. An increase in aggregate demand shifts the ad curve right: th increase in aggregate demand has increases the prices of all goods and services. Faced with higher prices, rms increase their output rates. So, prices of goods and services have increased but the money wage rate has not changed. The sas curve shifts left when price levels increase.
