  2. Aggregate Demand Curve Price Real Level GDP Aggregate Supply Curve Figure 1: The Two-Way Relationship Between Output and the Price Level

  3. Interest Rate As the price level rises, money demand increases and interest rate rises. 9% 6% Money ($ Billions) Figure 2a: Deriving the Aggregate Demand Curve (a) Ms H E 500

  4. On the AD curve, a higher price level is associated with a lower real GDP. The rise in the interest rate causes real GDP to fall. Figure 2b/c: Deriving the Aggregate Demand Curve (c) (b) Price Level AEr = 6% H AEr= 9% 140 E Aggregate Expenditure ($ Trillions) E 100 H AD Real GDP ($ Trillions) Real GDP ($ Trillions) 6 10 6 10

  5. Since real GDP is higher at the given price level, the AD curve shifts rightward. At any given price level, an increase in government purchases shifts the AE line upward, raising real GDP.

  7. Entire AD curve shifts rightward if: • a, IP, G, orNXincreases • Net taxes decrease • The money supply increases Figure 4b: Effects of Key Changes on the Aggregate Demand Curve (b) Price Level AD2 AD1 Real GDP

  8. Entire AD curve shifts leftward if: • a, IP, G, orNXdecreases • Net taxes increase • The money supply decreases Figure 4c: Effects of Key Changes on the Aggregate Demand Curve (c) Price Level decreases AD1 AD2 Real GDP

  9. Starting at point A, an increase in output raises unit costs. Firms raise prices, and the overall price level rises. Starting at point A, a decrease in output lowers unit costs. Firms cut prices, and the overall price levelfalls. Figure 5: The Aggregate Supply Curve Price Level AS 130 B 100 A 80 C Real GDP ($ Trillions) 6 10 13.5

  10. Movements Along the AS Curve • When a change in output causes price level to change, we move along economy’s AS curve • What happens in economy as we make such a move? • As we move upward along AS curve, we can represent what happens as follows

  11. When unit costs rise at any given real GDP, the AS curve shifts upward–e.g., an increase in world oil prices or bad weather for farm production. Figure 6: Shifts of the Aggregate Supply Curve AS2 Price Level AS1 L 140 100 A Real GDP ($ Trillions) 10

  12. Real GDP ↑ moves us rightward along the AS curve Real GDP ↓ moves us leftward along the AS curve Figure 7a: Effects of Key Changes on the Aggregate Supply Curve (a) Price Level AS P3 P1 P2 Real GDP Q2 Q1 Q3

  13. Entire AS curve shifts upward if unit costs ↑for any reason besides an increase in real GDP Figure 7b: Effects of Key Changes on the Aggregate Supply Curve (b) AS2 Price Level AS1 Real GDP

  14. Entire AS curve shifts downward if unit costs ↓for any reason besides an decrease in real GDP Figure 7c: Effects of Key Changes on the Aggregate Supply Curve (c) Price Level AS1 AS2 Real GDP

  17. An Increase in Government Purchases • Can summarize impact of price-level changes • When government purchases increase, horizontal shift of AD curve measures how much real GDP would increase if price level remained constant • But because price level rises, real GDP rises by less than horizontal shift in AD curve

  18. An Decrease in Government Purchases

  19. An Increase in the Money Supply • Although monetary policy stimulates economy through a different channel than fiscal policy • Once we arrive at AD and AS diagram, two look very much alike • Can represent situation as follows

  21. Demand Shocks: Adjusting to the Long Run • For a positive demand shock that shifts AD curve rightward, self-correcting mechanism works like this
