Concept introduction:
Aggregate
Short-run aggregate supply ( SRAS ): It is a positively =-sloped curve in which supply increases when the price rises. The reason for the upward sloping is that the wages are sticky in the short-run due to formal or informal contracts. At higher aggregate prices, there is higher profit leading to high level of output.
Long-run aggregate supply ( LRAS ): It is a vertical curve which means it is independent of price. When price increases there is no change in the quantity supplied. In the long-run, the nominal wages are not fixed, rather it can be negotiated.
Consumer confidence index (CCI): It is an index which indicates the confidence of consumers to spend in the upcoming future. It is measured to know the economy status in the near future.
