See figure below. See figure below.   The supply shock decreases short-run aggregate supply from AS<sub>1</sub> to AS<sub>2</sub>,reducing real output and raising the price level,or from points 1 to 2 in the graph.In the long run,the supply curve eventually adjusts back to the original position as wages fall.The economy adjusts from 2 back to 1.
