How are the PPC and long-run aggregate supply curve similar?
The following graph illustrates the market for pistachios. It plots the monthly supply of pistachios and the monthly demand for pistachios. Suppose a
stretch of unseasonably good weather occurs, allowing pistachio growers to produce more pistachios per hectare.
Show the effect this shock has on the market for pistachios by shifting the demand curve, supply curve, or both,
Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and i
to its original position, just drag it a little farther.
