This module explores the concept of long-term economic growth within macroeconomic frameworks. It covers how long-run growth is represented in models, including the role of the Production Possibilities Curve (PPC) and the Aggregate Demand/Aggregate Supply (AD/AS) model. Key topics include the distinctions between long-term economic growth and short-term fluctuations, the characterization of long-term growth as a rightward shift in the Long-Run Aggregate Supply (LRAS) curve, and the effects of various economic growth policies.
