Economics for A-level Students

47 Aggregate Supply

About this lesson
This video explores the concept of aggregate supply and how firms' ability to respond to changes in demand is heavily influenced by time. We'll break down the distinctions between very short-run, short-run, and long-run aggregate supply curves. Learn why in the very short-run, firms with spare capacity might increase output without raising prices, leading to a horizontal aggregate supply curve. Discover how in the short-run, rising prices incentivize firms to produce more, even as costs begin to increase, resulting in an upward-sloping curve. Finally, understand why in the long-run, an economy's output is determined by its productive capacity, leading to a vertical aggregate supply curve.
