AyshaAli | why is it not price level? |
RichWang | Factors are capital, labor, technology. Price is not a "factor". |
steved333 | besides that, labor is always a variable cost, so it must be the answer. |
viruss | Think about the primary response of companies during a recession : they lay down people ... |
NikolaZ | Sticky prices - prices are ALWAYS fixed in the short run, if there is a shock in the market it takes time for the prices to adjust (retailers need to change prices, information, communication costs, etc.) |
Yrazzaq88 | Price level is fixed because, if we remember, the SRAS has a horizontal curve.... Leaving the price fixed. |
