GROWTH: The process of increasing the economy's ability to produce goods. Growth is also one of the three macroeconomic goals of an economy (full employment and stability are the other two). Growth is usually measured by increases in gross domestic product or per capita gross domestic product. The main sources of growth are increases in the quantity and quality of the resources.

Topic: Time <=PAGE BACK | PAGE NEXT=>

It takes time to move the economy from short run equilibrium to long run equilibrium.

Two options:

  • Wait for self-correcting mechanism --> A short-run imbalance in the labor market eventually triggers the steps that move the economy to full-employment production and long-run equilibrium.
  • Take immediate steps --> Induced shifts in the AD, SRAS, LRAS curves that would, presumably reach full employment faster than the self-correcting mechanism.

The critical questions remains:

  • How much time is needed to adjust from the short run to the long run?
