From Short Run to Long Run
• Short run
• Input prices inflexible
• Upsloping aggregate supply
• Long run
• Input prices fully flexible
• Vertical aggregate supply
• The transition?
LO1 18-2
From Short Run to Long Run
• Production above potential output:
• High demand for inputs
• Input prices rise
• Short run aggregate supply shifts left
• Return to potential output
• Production below potential output
• Graphical examples…

• Criticisms of the Laffer curve
• Taxes, incentives, and time
• Inflation and higher real interest rates
• Position on the curve
• Rebuttal and evaluation
LO5 18-21
Taxes and Real GDP
• New findings suggest tax increases reduce real GDP (Romer and Romer, 2008)
• Positive output shocks raise tax revenues
• Difficult to separate the effects of tax changes from other effects
• Investment falls sharply in response to tax changes
