To answer your question about the determinants of aggregate supply, here are the commonly recognized factors that, if changed, would affect aggregate supply:
-
Input Prices: Changes in the cost of raw materials, labor, or other inputs can shift aggregate supply. An increase in input prices typically decreases aggregate supply, while a decrease tends to increase it.
-
Productivity: Improvements in technology or increases in labor productivity can enhance aggregate supply. Greater efficiency typically shifts the aggregate supply curve to the right.
-
Government Policies: Taxation, regulations, and subsidies can impact the cost of production. An increase in taxes or regulation may decrease aggregate supply, while subsidies might increase it.
-
Expectations about Future Prices: If producers expect higher future prices, they may reduce current supply, shifting the curve.
-
Supply Shocks: Unexpected events (natural disasters, political instability, etc.) that affect production capabilities can influence aggregate supply.
-
Number of Suppliers: A change in the number of companies producing goods can impact overall supply in the market.
