In the long run, when the price level rises or falls, real output will do which of the following?

Multiple choice question.

Move in the direction opposite the price level, because nominal wages stay fixed

Rise or fall along with the general price level, because nominal wages stay fixed

Shift in the direction of the short-run aggregate supply curve

Stay the same, because nominal wages also rise or fall with the price level

1 answer

The correct answer is:

Stay the same, because nominal wages also rise or fall with the price level.

In the long run, the economy is typically considered to be at full employment, and changes in the price level do not affect real output since nominal wages and prices adjust proportionately. This means that the real output remains unchanged.
