Short Run Supply

|
|
The short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) curve is related to the price level, and this relation depends on production cost.- An increase in production cost decreases aggregate supply and shifts the SRAS leftward.
- A decrease in production cost increases aggregate supply and shifts the SRAS rightward.
Key production cost changes:- Wages: Wages shift the SRAS from adjustments in workers perceptions of the current price level and expectations about future prices.
- Material Cost: Key economy-wide resources, like oil, can cause the SRAS to shift through big changes in price.
