Question

Suppose that a new technology, nuclear fusion, makes it much cheaper to generate power. Would this development cause a shift in the short-run aggregate supply curve (SRAS), the long-run aggregate supply curve (LRAS), both, or neither

Answer 1

Both curves shifts rightwards.

Step-by-step explanation:

When there is an improvement in the technological process then this will to increase the production level of the goods. Technological advancement increases the potential of an economy which in turn increases the supply of goods at the same price level. Improvement in the technological process increases the economy's productivity.

This will shift the short run aggregate supply curve and long run aggregate supply curve rightwards.
