It is often argued that the effect of a demand shock depends on the state of the economy. In particular, a given increase in aggregate demand may induce a larger increase in inflation (or price level) if the output gap is initially positive (output exceeds natural output) than if the output gap is initially negative. The argument is that when economy’s overall production capacity is almost fully used, firms cannot expand output much in response to an increase in demand.t Draw AD and AS curves that are consistent with these ideas and explain them briefly.
