Mostly summarized from Gregory Mankiw’s Principles of Economics, 5th Ed.
PART 12 Short Run Macroeconomic Fluctuations
Chapter 33 of 36 Aggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply
Section 18 of 44
Figure 4 here
In the long run the quantity of output supplied depends on
· the economy's quantities of labor, capital, natural resources
· the technology level
Because the quantity of output does not depend on the overall price level the long-run aggregate supply curve is vertical at the natural rate of output
Classical macroeconomic theory predicts the quantity of goods and services produced by an economy in the long run.
So it also explains the position of the long-run aggregate supply curve.
The long-run level of production is sometimes called potential output or full employment output.
More precisely we call the long-run level of production the natural rate of output.
This is because it shows what the economy produces when unemployment is at its natural, or normal, level.
The natural rate of output is the level of production toward which the economy moves in the long run.
Any change in the economy that affects the natural rate of output shifts the long run aggregate supply curve.
Per Figure 4, because output in the classical model depends on four sources we can categorize shifts in the long-run aggregate supply curve as being caused by changes in
· labor
· capital
· natural resources
· technological knowledge
….
potential output
