Distinguish between a movement along the aggregate supply curve and a shift of the entire aggregate supply curve. What factors cause each to occur?


The aggregate supply curve is analogous to an individual firm's supply curve in microeconomic analysis. A change in the economy's price level will cause a movement along the aggregate supply curve. A change in one of the determinants of aggregate supply will cause a shift of the aggregate supply curve. Among the most important determinants are the level of money wages, other resource prices, and the level of technology and productivity.
