  1. Aggregate expenditure and Aggregate demand • Aggregate expenditure line • Real GDP demanded • Changes in aggregate expenditure • Simple spending multiplier • Changes in the price level • Aggregate demand curve

  2. Components of aggregate expenditure (AE) AE = C + I + G + (X – M) Aggregate expenditure line: A relationship tracing, for a given price level, planned spending at each level of income or real GDP

  3. Income-expenditure line Aggregate expenditure(trillions of dollars) Income-expenditure line 450 0 Real GDP(trillions of dollars) At every point on this line, planned spending is equal to real GDP—so unplanned investment is zero

  5. We normally cut back on production when we see our inventories piling up.

  6. 15.0 C+I+G+(X-M) 14.8 Real GDP demanded for a given price level is found where aggregate expenditure equals aggregate output – that is, where spending equals the amount produced, or real GDP. This occurs at point e, where the aggregate expenditure line intersects the 45-degree line. 14.0 Aggregate expenditure (trillions of dollars) d b e 13.2 c a 13.0 45° 0 13.0 14.0 Real GDP (trillions of dollars) 15.0 Deriving the real GDP demanded for a given price level

  7. When Real GDP = $14 trillion • Planned spending of households, firms, government units, and foreigners is equal to real output; thus the plans of producing and spending units “match up.” • Firms on average experience zero unplanned investment. • Firms on average have nor reason to ‘scale up’ or ‘scale down’ production.

  8. C+I+G+(X-M) C+I’+G+(X-M) 14.5 A $0.1 trillion increase in investment shifts the AE line up vertically by $0.1 trillion. Real GDP increases until it equals spending at point e’. As a result of the $0.1 trillion increase in investment, real GDP demanded increases by $0.5 trillion, to $14.5 trillion. 14.1 Aggregate expenditure (trillions of dollars) f h j e’ 14.0 k i e g 0.1 45° Real GDP (trillions of dollars) 0 14.0 14.1 14.5 The economy is initially at point e, where spending=real GDP demanded = $14.0 trillion.

  11. (a) At the initial price level =130, the AE line identifies real GDP demanded of $14.0 trillion: point e on panel (b). AE’ (P=140) AE” (P=120) AE (P=130) At the higher price level of 140, the AE line shifts down to AE’, and real GDP demanded falls to $13.5 trillion: point e’ on panel (b). e’’ Aggregate expenditure (trillions of dollars) e e’ e’ e e’’ At the lower price level of 120, the AE line shifts up to AE’’, and real GDP demanded increases to $14.5 trillion: point e” on panel (b).

  12. (a) A shift of the AE line at a given price level shifts the AD curve. In (a), an increase in investment of $0.1 trillion, with the price level constant at 130, causes the aggregate expenditure line to increase from C+I+G+(X-M) to C+I’+G+(X-M). As a result, real DGP demanded increases from $14.0 trillion to $14.5 trillion. In (b), the aggregate demand curve has shifted from AD to AD’. At the prevailing price level of 130, real GDP demanded has increased by $0.5 trilion. 0.1 C+I’+G+(X-M) C+I+G+(X-M) e’ Aggregate expenditure (trillions of dollars) e e’ e (b) Price level 45° 130 Real GDP (trillions of dollars) 0 14.0 14.5 Real GDP (trillions of dollars) 0 14.0 14.5 AD’ AD A shift of AE line that shifts the AD curve

  13. C+I’+G+(X-M) An increase in investment, other things constant, shifts the spending line up from C+I+G+(X-M) to C+I’+G+(X-M), increasing the quantity of real GDP demanded.
