In: Economics
Long-run economic growth is generally positive rather than negative because long-run changes in output are driven by changes in the:
LRAS, including changes in consumption, investment and net exports. | |
LRAS, including changes in labour, capital, and technology. | |
aggregate demand, including changes in labour, capital, and technology. | |
SRAS, including changes in labour, capital, and technology. |
When consumer confidence falls, in the short run:
aggregate supply will shift to the left, reducing equilibrium GDP and price level; but in the long run, the lower price level resulting from reduced aggregate supply will lower costs, increasing aggregate demand and shifting it to the right. | |
aggregate demand will shift to the right, increasing equilibrium GDP and price level; but in the long run, the higher price level resulting from increased aggregate demand will increase costs, decreasing aggregate supply and shifting it to the left. | |
