In this model, long run values of real GDP rate of unemployment and real rate of interest are presumed to be unchanged. This indicates that whenever there is a short run disequilibrium, the economy will always return to its original long run equilibrium values.

This presumption is based on the fact that economy has a given amount of resources available and a given technology. This fixes the productivity of resources and due to this reason, the economy is expected to produce a certain amount of goods and services at a maximum. This is called the long run potential GDP or long run potential output level and it remains unchanged unless there is an increase in the resources for an updation in the technology. this also calls for the rate of unemployment to always return to its natural rate which is the sum of rate of frictional unemployment and rate of structural unemployment. The rate of inflation or the price level need not to remain unchanged but can vary according to the condition of the economy. But the real interest rate returns to its original value due to changes in the nominal interest rate being made in the long run.

Some analysts use the short-run and long-run effects on the aggregate demand-aggregate supply model to argue that expansionary monetary policy can't affect employment in the long run because in the short run, monetary policy shifts the aggregate: demand curve to the left, but over time the increase in prices shifts aggregate supply to the right so that GDP will end up going back to its same level of output with a higher price level. supply curve to the left, but over time...

Use AD-AS model to analyze how shocks affect economic activity in short and long run. For each shock: Suppose the economy starts in the long run equilibrium. Illustrate changes that the shock will cause in the short run (using AD-SRAS). Explain why each curve shifts. Determine how the price level and output will be affected in the short run.
