AGGREGATE SUPPLY SHIFTS: Changes in the aggregate supply determinants can shift either the short-run aggregate supply curve and the long-run aggregate supply curve. The mechanism is comparable to that for market supply determinants and market supply. We have two options -- an increase in aggregate supply and a decrease in aggregate supply. An increase in resource quantity or quality or a decrease in resource prices shift the aggregate supply curves to right. A decrease in resource quantity or quality or an increase in resource prices shift the aggregate supply curves to left.

GDP and related measures are not perfect.- GDP is only an indicator of economic activity. Because it requires interpretation and analysis it is subject to misinterpretation and misanalysis.
- GDP is an aggregate measure for the economy. It measures total production, but it does not indicate who receives the production, the distribution of production.
- GDP does not measure the satisfaction of wants and needs. GDP can increase even though welfare does not increase, or even decreases. GDP might even decrease even though welfare is greater.

Managed flexible exchange rates are allowed to change within boundaries, but subject to control if they change too much.
