There
is
a
relationship
in
the
run
between
the
aggregate
price
level
and
the
quantity
of
aggregate
output
supplied
.
A
in
the
aggregate
price
level
is
assoiciated
with
a
rise
in
the
quantity
of
aggregate
output
supplied
.
A
in
the
aggregate
price
level
is
associated
with
a
fall
in
the
quantity
of
aggregate
output
supplied
.
This
positive
relationship
exists
due
to
the
most
basic
question
facing
a
producer
:
Is
producing
a
unit
of
output
or
not
?
Profit
per
unit
of
output
=
per
unit
of
output
-
production
per
unit
of
output
At
any
given
point
in
time
,
many
of
the
costs
producers
face
are
per
unit
of
output
and
can't
be
changed
for
an
extended
period
of
time
.
Typically
,
the
largest
source
of
inflexible
production
cost
is
the
paid
to
workers
.
Wages
refers
to
forms
of
worker
compensation
,
including
employer
-
paid
health
care
and
retirement
benefits
.
The
dollar
amount
of
any
given
wage
paid
is
called
the
wage
.
Wages
are
typically
an
inflexible
production
cost
because
the
nominal
wage
is
often
determined
by
that
were
signed
some
time
ago
.
Even
when
there
are
no
formal
contracts
,
there
are
often
agreements
between
management
and
workers
,
making
companies
reluctant
to
change
wages
in
response
to
economic
conditions
.
Unless
the
downturn
has
been
particularly
long
and
severe
,
companies
usually
will
not
reduce
wages
during
poor
economic
times
for
fear
of
generating
worker
.
Until
they
are
at
risk
of
losing
workers
to
competitors
,
companies
typically
won't
raise
wages
during
better
economic
times
because
they
don't
want
to
workers
to
routinely
demand
higher
wages
.
As
a
result
of
formal
and
informal
agreements
,
the
economy
is
characterized
by
wages
.
Sticky
wages
are
nominal
wages
that
are
to
fall
even
in
the
face
of
high
unemployment
and
to
rise
even
in
the
face
of
labor
shortages
.
Fixed
costs
give
rise
to
an
-
sloping
short
-
run
aggregate
supply
curve
.
If
the
aggregate
price
level
rises
,
the
producer
receives
a
higher
price
for
its
final
good
or
service
.
Since
many
production
costs
are
fixed
in
the
short
-
run
,
the
production
cost
per
unit
of
output
doesn't
rise
in
to
the
rise
in
the
price
of
a
unit
.
Accordingly
,
per
unit
of
output
rises
,
leading
producers
to
increase
the
quantity
supplied
in
the
short
-
run
.
The
positive
relationship
between
the
aggregate
price
level
and
the
quantity
of
aggregate
output
producers
are
willing
to
supply
during
the
period
when
many
production
costs
can
be
taken
as
fixed
is
illustrated
by
the
short
-
run
aggregate
supply
curve
.

In

In

so

The

The

Potential

is

In
reality
,
the

almost
always
either
above

Potential
