The economy's real ceiling
- Contracts don't stay fixed forever — given time, every wage and price adjusts.
- In that long run, the sticky-wage story disappears.
- Aggregate supply then looks completely different.
- It becomes the long-run aggregate supply 长期总供给 (LRAS) curve — and it is vertical.
Vertical at full-employment output
- LRAS is a vertical line at the economy's full-employment output 充分就业产出.
- This is not zero unemployment — only frictional 摩擦性失业 and structural 结构性失业 remain, at the natural rate of unemployment 自然失业率.
- Its position marks the economy's potential GDP 潜在GDP — the maximum sustainable output.
The AD-AS model
LRAS is vertical at potential output, because in the long run wages and prices are flexible. Economic growth shifts it right.
The long-run aggregate supply curve is:

In the long run output depends on real resources, not the price level, so LRAS is vertical.
LRAS sits at the economy's maximum sustainable output, called potential ______.

Potential GDP is the output at full employment, at the natural rate of unemployment.
Full-employment output means zero unemployment.

Some frictional and structural unemployment always remain — the natural rate.
Why it's independent of the price level
- In the long run, wages and prices are fully flexible 完全灵活.
- If the price level doubles, wages eventually double too, so firms have no lasting reason to change output.
- Real output settles back to what the economy's real resources can make.
- That does not depend on how high the price tags are — so LRAS is vertical.
LRAS is independent of the price level because, in the long run:

If the price level doubles, wages eventually double too, leaving real output unchanged.
Growth shifts LRAS right
- LRAS moves only when real productive capacity 生产能力 changes.
- More or better resources, a bigger capital stock 资本存量, or new technology 技术 all shift LRAS right.
- That rightward shift is long-run economic growth 经济增长.
- Worked idea. A decade of investment in schools and factories raises potential output — LRAS shifts right.
A country invests heavily in education and new factories for a decade. LRAS:

More capital and a more skilled workforce raise potential output, shifting LRAS right.
Select all that shift LRAS to the right.

Real resources and technology grow potential output; a price-level change does not move LRAS.
LRAS is vertical at full-employment output (potential GDP), because wages and prices are fully flexible in the long run — real output depends on real resources, not the price level. Economic growth shifts LRAS right.
