WAGES, AGGREGATE SUPPLY DETERMINANT: One of several specific aggregate supply determinants assumed constant when the short-run aggregate supply curve is constructed, and that shifts the short-run aggregate supply curve when it changes. An increase in the wages causes a decrease (leftward shift) of the short-run aggregate supply curve. A decrease in the wages causes an increase (rightward shift) of the short-run aggregate supply curve. Other notable aggregate supply determinants include the technology, energy prices, and the capital stock. Wages are an example of a resource price aggregate supply determinant.

Rethinking demand and supply curves indicates efficiency of markets. Market equilibrium has: - Equality between quantity demanded and quantity supplied.
- Equality between demand price and supply price.
- Equality between demand price and supply price means that the satisfaction obtained from the good produced is equal to the opportunity cost of production.
- This equality between prices also means that the value of the good produced is equal to the value of goods not produced.

INCREASING-COST INDUSTRY A perfectly competitive industry with a positively-sloped long-run industry supply curve that results because expansion of the industry causes higher production cost and resource prices. An increasing-cost industry occurs because the entry of new firms, prompted by an increase in demand, causes the long-run average cost curve of each firm to shift upward, which increases the minimum efficient scale of production.
