Aggregate Demand Components • AD=C+I+G+X-M • How does the AD curve (and diagram labels) differ from a simple demand curve?
P = GDP deflator (‘95=100) • Q = GDP real
Why Does Aggregate Demand Slope Downward • Real Income Effect • P Yreal C&I Q(AD) • Real Balance Effect • P S present C&I Q(AD) • International Substitution Effect • P(domestic) relative P(M) Q(M) Q(AD) • Imports become more expensive relative to domestic goods (substitution effect)
Price Level and Interest Rates • Price Level (inflation) and Interest Rates • Positive correlation • Banks want to maintain real value of loans when inflation is increasing. • CAREFUL • Price Level Change= Interest Rate Change = Movement Along AD curve • Interest Rate Change (not because of Price Level Change) = Shift in AD curve
Price Level and Real GDP Depression Region Bottlenecks Diminishing Returns Supply Constraints Scarcity of Factors Physical Limit Aggregate Supply- Short Run
John Maynard Keynes The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money- 1936 Father of Macroeconomics Keynesian vs. Neo-classical Approach (Long Run)
Neo-classical view • Microeconomic focus • Faith in markets to reach “equilibrium” in LR • Labor like any other commodity • Laissez-faire
Keynesian Approach • Response to conditions seen during Great Depression • Sometimes markets don’t reach equilibrium. • Solution: Increase income and create demand • Demand-side policies • Government intervention/spending • Job creation
