363085768Short-run aggregate supplyThe relationship between the quantity of real GDP supplied and the price level when the money wage rate, the prices of other resources, and potential GDP remain constant.
363085769Long-run aggregate supplyinputs prices (ex: wages) adjust with output prices and vice versa, this eliminates the incentive to produce more or less output at higher or lower price levels since purchasing power of per-unit profits has not changed
363085770Short-run aggregate demandincrease in investment shifts AD to the right, hgher price level results, workers want higher wages, , firms will charge higher prices, AS shift back to the left
363085771Long-run aggregate demandIn long-run, shift in aggregate demand affect the overall price level but not output. In short-run, shifts in aggregate demand cause fluctuations in price leave and economy's output of goods
363085772Demand-pull inflationincreases in the price level (inflation) resulting from an excess of demand over output at the existing price level, caused by an increase in aggregate demand
363085773Cost-push inflationWhen prices rise due to an increase in the cost of production.
363085774Phillips CurveA graph showing the relationship between inflation and unemployment . The theory states that unemployment can be reduced in the short run by increasing price level (inflation) at a faster rate. Conversely, inflation can be lowered at the cost of possibly increased unemployment and slower economic growth. Named after A. W. Phillips.
363085775Aggregate Supply Shocksare sudden large increases in resource costs that jolt an economy's short-run aggregate supply curve leftward.
363085776Long-run vertical Philips CurveCurve that shows in the long run, there is NO tradeoff between inflation and unemployment. Any rate of inflation is consistent with the NRU - Increase in AD beyond NRU → temporarily boost profits, output, employment → nominal wages increase → profits fall → back to original level of unemployment
363085777Disinflationa reduction of prices intended to improve the balance of payments.
363085778Supply-side economicsAn economics philosophy suggesting tax cuts can help an economy by raising supply. -CENSORED- this -CENSORED-; doesn't work.
363085779Laffer CurveA curved graph that illustrates the theory that, if tax rates rise beyond a certain level, they discourage economic growth, thereby reducing government revenues.
