    Aggregate Supply (AS)

    The total quantity of goods and services that all producers in an economy are willing and able to supply at different price levels in a given time period.

    Aggregate Supply Curve

    The AS curve shows the relationship between the price level (general price level) and the quantity of real output supplied. It represents the sum of all the individual supply curves in an economy.

    Keynesian Range

    A situation where the economy is operating below its full capacity, meaning resources are not being fully utilised and there is spare capacity. This is shown by the flat section of the AS curve.

    Intermediate Range

    A situation where the economy is reaching its full capacity, meaning resources are mostly fully utilised and it's difficult to increase production quickly. This is shown by the steeper section of the AS curve.

    Classical Range

    When the economy is at its absolute maximum potential due to fully utilised resources, represented by the vertical part of the AS curve. Any further increase in prices will not lead to an increase in output. This is also known as the 'vertical range' or 'classical range'.
