Document Summary

Macroeconomics policy chapter 23: output and prices in the short run. Shifts in the ad function are caused only by changes in the underlying economic events that change autonomous desired aggregate expenditure. Slope of the aggregate supply curve (as) is positive, but its slope changes as real gdp changes. Factor prices are constant for any as curve, unit costs usually increase as output increases. Firms usually want higher prices for increased output. Effects of aggregate demand shocks on real income and the price level depend on the range of the as curve in which the demand shock occurs. When the slope of the as is steep, the increase in real income is small and the increase in the price level is large resulting from any increase in aggregate demand. The value of the multiplier depends on the slope of the as curve.
