AGGREGATE SUPPLY: The total (or aggregate) real production of final goods and services available in the domestic economy at a range of price levels, during a given time period. Aggregate supply (AS) is one half of the aggregate market analysis; the other half is aggregate demand. Aggregate supply, relates the economy's price level, measured by the GDP price deflator, and aggregate domestic production, measured by real gross domestic product. The aggregate supply relation is generally separated into long-run aggregate supply, in which all prices and wages and flexible and all markets are in equilibrium, and short-run aggregate supply, in which some prices and wage are NOT flexible and some markets are NOT in equilibrium.

Supply Curves Times Two

- Market control on the buying side of factor markets means that firms can face one of two types of supply curves for the factors their employ:
- Perfect Competition:
If we're looking for a buyer with absolutely no market control, then we are looking for perfect competition.
- Monopsony, Oligopsony, and Monopsonistic Competition:
If we're looking for a buyer with market control, then we can choose among monopsony, oligopsony, and monopsonistic competition.
- The relative elasticity of this curve depends, of course, on the market control of the buying firm.

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 are able to achieve 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 resource 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.
