Long Run Aggregate Supply Curve in Macroeconomics
The Long Run Aggregate Supply (LRAS) curve represents a vertical macroeconomic relationship indicating that real GDP is determined solely by an economy's full productive capacity—defined by labor, capital, technology, and natural resources—independent of the price level. This concept operates within neoclassical growth theory to establish the theoretical boundary where all markets clear simultaneously at potential output ($Y_p$). The curvature signifies zero short-run elasticity regarding inflation changes, distinguishing it fundamentally from short-run supply models that incorporate sticky wages or prices.
