Suppose that an economy wants to boost available labor hours in order to increase aggregate supply. What is the best way to accomplish this?
Why does the short-run aggregate supply curve slope upward to the right? If the prices of both (a) resources and (b) goods and services increased proportionally (by the same percentage), would business firms be willing to expand output? Why or why not?
A production possibilities curve (PPC) represents the maximum amount of two goods or services produced by manufacturers in an economy.
How are the PPC and long-run aggregate supply curve similar?

- In the long-run, aggregate supply is a horizontal line at the long-run price level people can afford. True False One reason for why the aggregate demand curve slopes down is the wealth effect, which means that a higher price level leads to lower real wealth and, thereby, reduces the level of consumption.
