Solution

The correct answer is: the long-run aggregate supply curve will shift to the right.

Here's why:

  1. An influx of new workers from immigration increases the total labor force in the economy.

  2. With more workers available, businesses can produce more goods and services.

  3. This increase in potential output shifts the long-run aggregate supply (LRAS) curve to the right.

  4. The shift to the right of the LRAS curve represents an increase in the economy's capacity to produce goods and services in the long run.

  5. This does not necessarily mean that the economy will produce at this new higher capacity immediately. The actual level of output will depend on the demand for goods and services.

  6. But in the long run, with more workers and thus more potential output, the economy has the capacity to produce more. Hence, the LRAS curve shifts to the right.

This problem has been solved
