SRAS (Short Run Aggregate Supply)


Nominal wages vs. Real and Sticky Wages: 
Nominal wages: amount of money they work or receive per unit of time 
Ex: ( tips waitress makes) 
Real Wages: amount of goods and services a worker can purchase with their nominal wage 
( real wages purchasing power of nominal wages) Determines what you can and can't buy
Sticky Wages-  Nominal wage level is set according to an initial price level and doesn't vary due to labor contracts or other restrictions ( Keynesian)
