What factors influence the short run aggregate supply curve?
Factors that influence the short run aggregate supply curve include changes in input prices, technology, government regulations, and expectations of future prices. These factors can impact the cost of production and the ability of firms to supply goods and services in the short term.
Why does the slope of the aggregate supply curve change from the short run to the long run?
Aggregate supply is a measure of the total goods and services produced by an economy at various price levels, either in the short run or in the long run. Short run aggregate supply curve is assumed to be upward sloping. Higher prices for goods and services means more profit for suppliers, so they will produce more goods and services. Long run aggregate supply curve is assumed to be vertical. Short run aggregate supply curve is curved because prices can change. A change in the price level means a movement along the short run aggregate supply curve. An increase in costs results in a fall in aggregate supply because the output is less at every price level. A decrease in costs results in a rise in aggregate supply because the output is more at every price level. In the long run, the aggregate supply is assumed to be independent of price level. In other words, the economy is at the maximum output possible. Full employment level has been reached and real GDP has reached its maximum potential, so the long run aggregate supply curve must be drawn as vertical. Increases in the quality and number of factors of production will cause the productivity of the suppliers to increase, and the long run aggregate supply will shift right.
An increase in the supply of labor will?
In a free-market an increase in the supply of labor will reduce wages and increase unemployment. It will also lower the price of produced goods as wages decrease. This effect is complicated by minimum wage laws. If wages cannot decrease due to legislation the effect will simply be an increase in unemployment and prices in the short run will remain static. If the population increase is significant it is possible for the price of goods to increase due to the increased demand for consumer goods.
