AS effect -elasticity

Cards (13)

  • What happens when the AS is perfectly inelastic?
    Only price increases; output remains unchanged
  • What is the impact of the multiplier on output in the long run?
    It does not affect output in the long run
  • How does the AS curve affect price and output in the short run?
    It affects both price and output in the short run
  • What is the relationship between the elasticity of the AS curve and its effect on price and output?
    More elastic curves have smaller price effects
  • What happens to the effect on output as the AS curve becomes more elastic?
    The effect on output becomes larger
  • What is the primary effect of the multiplier when AS is perfectly inelastic?
    It increases price without affecting output
  • How does the elasticity of the AS curve influence the overall economic impact of the multiplier?
    Higher elasticity leads to larger output effects
  • What is the definition of the multiplier in economics?
    The ratio of change in output to initial change
  • How does the multiplier affect the economy in the short run?
    It increases both output and price
  • What does the effect of the multiplier depend on?
    The shape of the AS curve
  • How does the AS curve influence the multiplier effect?
    It determines the strength of the multiplier effect
  • What are the two time frames mentioned regarding the multiplier effect?
    Short run and long run
  • How does the distinction between short run and long run affect the multiplier?
    The multiplier effect varies based on time frame
