Answer to Question 1

Short-run macroeconomic equilibrium occurs when the quantity of GDP demanded equals the quantity supplied, which is where the AD and SAS curves intersect. The short-run equilibrium does not necessarily take place at full employment. The long-run macroeconomic equilibrium occurs when real GDP equals potential GDP. This means that the economy is on the LAS curve, where the AD and SAS curves both intersect the LAS curve.

Answer to Question 2
