Glossary · Macro · Aggregate demand and supply

Short-run aggregate supply (SRAS)

The total output firms are willing to produce at each price level while wages and some other input costs are stuck. It slopes up because a higher price level with fixed costs means fatter margins, so firms produce more. It shifts when input costs, expected inflation or productivity change.

Also called: SRAS, aggregate supply, supply shock
