The section explains the determinants and dynamics of the quantity of real GDP supplied, distinguishing between short-run and long-run aggregate supply. In the short run, an increase in the price level encourages firms to produce more due to fixed wages, whereas in the long run, input prices adjust, and output remains fixed at potential GDP. The AS-AD model allows us to analyze equilibrium in the economy and assess how shifts in aggregate demand and supply contribute to business cycles. Additionally, different macroeconomic schools of thought offer varying views on the roles of policy interventions and market adjustments.
