1. In terms of aggregate supply, the short run is a period in which:
the price level is constant.
employment is constant.
real GDP is constant.
→ nominal wages and other input prices are constant.

Multiple Choice Question
2. The short-run aggregate supply curve is upward-sloping because:
higher prices discourage the producers to expand output.
→ higher price levels create incentives to expand output when resource prices remain
lower prices encourage the producers to expand output.
higher price levels create an expectation among producers of still higher price level

3. Other things equal, a decrease in the price level will:
shift the short run aggregate supply curve to the left.
shift the aggregate demand curve to the left.
cause a movement up a short-run aggregate supply curve.
→ cause a movement down a short run aggregate supply curve.

from P2 to P3 will:
change aggregate supply from AS2 to AS3.
increase real output from Q1 to Q2.
change aggregate supply from AS2 to AS1.
→ increase real output from Qf to Q2.

6. The short run in macroeconomics is a period in which nominal wages:
remain fixed as the price level stays constant.
change as the price level stays constant.
→ remain fixed as the price level changes.
change as the price level changes.
