Explanation: If the supply is less than the demand, the price will increase. Inflation, the persistent increase in the average price level, can be caused by an increase in aggregate demand or a decrease in aggregate supply. This suggests two basics sources, causes, or types of inflation—demand-pull inflation and costpush inflation. In general, prices increase as a result of market shortages, which occur when quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied. Market shortages can be created by either increases in demand or decreases in supply. Translating thisto the macro-economy suggests that inflation occurs when aggregate demand exceeds aggregate supply. |
