What is Long-Run Average Supply (LRAS)?

The Long-Run average supply curve shows the relationship between price level and real GDP  if all prices (including nominal wages) were fully flexible. 

Note: In the long-run supply curve, the price can change along the curve, but the output will not change – as it reflects the full employment output.
