Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stagflation is characterized by a combination of inflation (higher price levels) and low economic growth (lower output). This can occur when the aggregate supply (AS) curve shifts to the left, reducing output, while aggregate demand (AD) remains constant or shifts to the right, increasing price levels. Thus, a shift to the right of AD would not cause stagflation.
