Solution

In the AD-AS model, long-run equilibrium occurs when:

aggregate demand equals short-run aggregate supply and they intersect at a point on the long-run aggregate supply curve.

Here's why:

  1. In the AD-AS model, long-run equilibrium is achieved when the quantity of goods and services demanded (aggregate demand) equals the quantity of goods and services supplied (aggregate supply) at the potential level of output.

  2. The potential level of output is represented by the long-run aggregate supply (LRAS) curve, which is vertical because in the long run, the economy's output is determined by factors such as technology, resources, and labor force, not by the price level.

  3. Therefore, long-run equilibrium occurs when the aggregate demand curve and the short-run aggregate supply curve intersect at a point on the LRAS curve.

  4. The other options (output is above potential GDP, output is below potential GDP, unemployment equals zero) do not accurately describe the conditions for long-run equilibrium in the AD-AS model.

The economy is initially at its long-run equilibrium. A diplomatic dispute with its trading partner countries now leads to a decline in its exports. In the short run, the aggregate demand curve shifts left. In the long run, the price level decreases, the output returns to its potential, and real wages decrease.
