__ shift the long-run aggregate supply curve to the left
__ shift the long-run aggregate supply curve to the right
__ not affect the long-run aggregate supply curve
in the following table, determine how each event affects the position of the long-run aggregate supply (lras) curve.
direction of lras curve shift:
many workers leave to pursue more lucrative careers in foreign economies. (left / no shift/ right)
for environmental and safety reasons, the government requires that the country's nuclear (left / no shift/ right)
power plants be permanently shut down. (left / no shift/ right)
