Economics How are aggregate output and the real interest rate determined in compettive egulbum? OA The aggregate oulput can be found by multiplying current employment by current real wage at the intesection of the current labour supply and demand curves, given the raal inderest rate. and ssubtracting the level of investment in the economy OB. Cument aggregata output and the real interest rate are determined by the intersection of the output supoly and demand ouves OC. Cunent aggregate output can be found by finding current employment from the intersection of the current labour supply and domand ourves given the real interest rate and aocounting tor total tactor productivity OD.
