In a recent press conference of the Federal Reserve of the United States2 , Chairman Powellincluded the following as part of the description of the economic situation in the US: “Bottlenecks and supply chain disruptions are limiting how quickly production can respond to the rebound in demand in the near term. As a result, overall inflation is running well above our  2 percent longer-run goal.” How can this situation be represented by the AD-AS framework (i.e. how have AD and AS curves shifted?) If the bottlenecks and supply chain disruptions are just temporary, what are expected to happen?
