LONG RUN, MACROECONOMICS: In terms of the macroeconomic analysis of the aggregate market, a period of time in which all prices, especially wages, are flexible, and have achieved their equilibrium levels. This is one of two macroeconomic time designations; the other is the short run. Long-run wage and price flexibility means that ALL markets, including resources markets and most notably labor markets, are in equilibrium, with neither surpluses nor shortages. Wage and price flexibility and the resulting resource market equilibria are the reason for the vertical long-run aggregate supply curve.

Lesson 2: Economic Science | Unit 5: Cause and Effect

The purpose of science is to identify the fundamental, basic laws of nature that guide our every moves.- The purpose of the scientific method is to explain the world by identifying cause and effect.
- For every action there is a consequence. And for every consequence there is a cause.
The first step is to identify cause and effect links is correlation:- Correlation. If event A causes event B, then event A is correlated with event B. But, correlation does not mean causation. Two events can be correlated, without one causing the other. Note the fallacy of false cause.
- Time Proximity. Event A and event B must happen at about the same time.
- Time Sequence. Event A must precede event B. If event B occurs first, then it can't be caused by event A.

AGGREGATE MARKET SHOCKS Disruptions of the equilibrium in the aggregate market (or AS-AD model) caused by shifts of the aggregate demand, short-run aggregate supply, or long-run aggregate supply curves. Shocks of the aggregate market are associated with, and thus used to analyze, assorted macroeconomic phenomena such as business cycles, unemployment, inflation, stabilization policies, and economic growth. The specific analysis of aggregate market shocks identifies changes in the price level (GDP price deflator) and real production (real GDP). Changes in the price level and real production have direct implications for the unemployment rate, the inflation rate, national income, and a host of other macroeconomic measures.

[What's This?]
Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time driving to a factory outlet looking to buy either a T-shirt commemorating last Friday (you know why) or a rotisserie oven that can also toast bread. Be on the lookout for telephone calls from former employers.
