The Derivation of the Aggregate Supply Relation Note two things about equation( 9.1) 1. a higher expected price level leads, one for one, to a higher actual price level 9 2. An increase in output leads to an increase in the price level, This is the result of four underlying steps o An increase in output to an increase in employment o The increase in employment leads to a decrease in unemployment rate o The lower unemployment rate leads to an increase in nominal wages o The increase in nominal wages leads to an increase in costs Which leads firms to increase prices to continue 2003-7-20 3

An increase in output leads to an increase in the price level.This is the result of four underlying steps: ⚫ An increase in output to an increase in employment ⚫ The increase in employment leads to a decrease in unemployment rate. ⚫ The lower unemployment rate leads to an increase in nominal wages ⚫ The increase in nominal wages leads to an increase in costs, which leads firms to increase prices. to continue
The characteristics of the aggregate supply curve in figure 9-1 ● It is upward sloping e When output is above its natural level the price level is higher than expected: P> Pe. Conversely: when output is below its natural level, the price level is lower than expected e It goes through point A, where Y=Y and P= pe. That is, if output is equal to its natural level Y, then the price level is equal to the expected price level: P= Pe supply curve up. Conversely, a decrease in the expecte o e An increase in the expected price level shifts the aggregat price level shifts the aggregate supply curve down 2003-7-20

It goes through point A, where Y= Yn and P= Pe .That is,if output is equal to its natural level Yn , then the price level is equal to the expected price level: P= Pe . An increase in the expected price level shifts the aggregate supply curve up. Conversely, a decrease in the expected price level shifts the aggregate supply curve down

9-2: Aggregate Demand ●( goods market S YECCY-T)+lr,)+G (Financial market) LM M/P= YLO e We represent the aggregate demand relation by YEY(M/P, G, D) (92) 十 e Output is an increasing function of the real money stock, an increasing function of government spending and a decreasing function of taxes. Given M, G, t, an increase in price level P leads to a decrease in real money stock, M/P, which leads to a decrease in output This is the relation capture by the Ad curve in Figure 2003-7-20 6

Given M, G, T, an increase in price level P leads to a decrease in real money stock, M/P, which leads to a decrease in output. This is the relation capture by the AD curve in Figure

9-3: Equilibrium Output in the Short and the Medium Run AS relation P=Pe(1+pF(1-Y),2] AD relation YEY(M/P, G,T) The equilibrium is given by the intersection of the two curves at point A By construction, at point A, the goods, financial, and the labor market are all in equilibrium. The fact that the labor market is in equilibrium comes from the fact that point a is on the aggregate supply curve. The fact that goods and financial markets are in equilibrium comes from the fact that point a is also on the aggregate demand curve. The equilibrium level of output and price level are given by Y and P 2003-7-20 8

The fact that the labor market is in equilibrium comes from the fact that point A is on the aggregate supply curve.

The Dynamics of output and the price level e As we look at the evolution of output and other variable over time, the other thing we need to do is to introduce time indices So, Pt will refer to the price level in year t, Pt-1 to the price level in year t-1, Pt+ 1 to the price level in year t+1, and so on e Using the notation, the assumption that the expected price level equals the price level last year is written as P = P e And the aggregate supply and demand relation must now be AS relation Pt=P1(1+p)F[(1Y+/L),2](93) ● AD relation YI (M/P1, G,TI (94) Note that the parameters (u, z) and the exogenous variables L, M, G, T do not have a time subscript.

So, Pt will refer to the price level in year t,Pt-1 to the price level in year t-1,Pt+1 to the price level in year t+1, and so on. Using the notation, the assumption that the expected price level equals the price level last year is written as Pt e = Pt-1 And the aggregate supply and demand relation must now be: AS relation Pt = Pt-1 (1+μ) F [(1-Yt / L), z] (9.3) AD relation Yt = Y[ (M/ Pt ), G, T ] (9.4) Note that the parameters (µ, z) and the exogenous variables L, M, G, T do not have a time subscript.
