- 3. Aggregate Supply, and Inflation THE AGGREGATE DEMAND CURVE aggregate demand The total demand CHAPTER 26: Aggregate Demand, for goods and services in the economy. Money demand is a function of three variables: the interest rate (r), the level of real income (Y), and the price level (P). (Remember, Y is real output, or income. It measures the actual volume of output, without regard to changes in the price level.) Money demand will increase if the real level of output (income) increases, the price level increases, or the interest rate declines. © 2007 Prentice Hall Business Publishing Principles of Economics 8e by Case and Fair 3 of 23

- 5. Aggregate Supply, and Inflation THE AGGREGATE DEMAND CURVE DERIVING THE AGGREGATE DEMAND CURVE aggregate demand curve (AD) A curve that shows the CHAPTER 26: Aggregate Demand, negative relationship between aggregate output (income) and the price level. Each point on the AD curve is a point at which both the goods market and the money market are in equilibrium. FIGURE 13.2 The Aggregate Demand (AD) curve An increase in the price level causes the level of aggregate output (income) to fall. A decrease in the price level causes the level of aggregate output (income) to rise. Each pair of values of P and Y on the aggregate demand curve corresponds to a point at which both the goods market and the money market are in equilibrium. © 2007 Prentice Hall Business Publishing Principles of Economics 8e by Case and Fair 5 of 23
- 6. Aggregate Supply, and Inflation THE AGGREGATE DEMAND CURVE THE AGGREGATE DEMAND CURVE: A WARNING CHAPTER 26: Aggregate Demand, Aggregate demand falls when the price level increases because the higher price level causes the demand for money (Md) to rise. With the money supply constant, the interest rate will rise to reestablish equilibrium in the money market. It is the higher interest rate that causes aggregate output to fall. The AD curve is not the sum of all the market demand curves in the economy. It is not a market demand curve. © 2007 Prentice Hall Business Publishing Principles of Economics 8e by Case and Fair 6 of 23
- 7. Aggregate Supply, and Inflation THE AGGREGATE DEMAND CURVE OTHER REASONS FOR A DOWNWARD- SLOPING AGGREGATE DEMAND CURVE The Consumption Link CHAPTER 26: Aggregate Demand, Planned investment does not bear all the burden of providing the link from a higher interest rate to a lower level of aggregate output. Decreased consumption brought about by a higher interest rate also contributes to this effect. The Real Wealth Effect real wealth, or real balance, effect The change in consumption brought about by a change in real wealth that results from a change in the price level. An increase in the price level lowers the real value of some types of wealth. © 2007 Prentice Hall Business Publishing Principles of Economics 8e by Case and Fair 7 of 23

- 11. Aggregate Supply, and Inflation THE AGGREGATE SUPPLY CURVE aggregate supply The total supply of all goods and services in an economy. CHAPTER 26: Aggregate Demand, THE AGGREGATE SUPPLY CURVE: A WARNING aggregate supply (AS) curve A graph that shows the relationship between the aggregate quantity of output supplied by all firms in an economy and the overall price level. An “aggregate supply curve” in the traditional sense of the word supply does not exist. What does exist is what we might call a “price/output response” curve—a curve that traces out the price decisions and output decisions of all the markets and firms in the economy under a given set of circumstances. © 2007 Prentice Hall Business Publishing Principles of Economics 8e by Case and Fair 11 of 23
- 12. Aggregate Supply, and Inflation THE AGGREGATE SUPPLY CURVE AGGREGATE SUPPLY IN THE SHORT RUN Capacity Constraints CHAPTER 26: Aggregate Demand, Even if firms are not holding excess labor and capital, the economy may be operating below its capacity if there is cyclical unemployment. Output Levels and Price/Output Responses An increase in aggregate demand when the economy is operating at low levels of output is likely to result in an increase in output with little or no increase in the overall price level. That is, the aggregate supply (price/output response) curve is likely to be FIGURE 13.6 The Short-Run Aggregate fairly flat at low levels of aggregate output. Supply Curve When the economy is producing at its maximum level of output—that is, at capacity— the aggregate supply curve becomes vertical. © 2007 Prentice Hall Business Publishing Principles of Economics 8e by Case and Fair 12 of 23
- 13. Aggregate Supply, and Inflation THE AGGREGATE SUPPLY CURVE AGGREGATE SUPPLY IN THE SHORT RUN The Response of Input Prices to Changes in the Overall Price Level CHAPTER 26: Aggregate Demand, If input prices changed at exactly the same rate as output prices, the AS curve would be vertical. Wage rates may increase at exactly the same rate as the overall price level if the price level increase is fully anticipated. Input prices—particularly wage rates—tend to lag behind increases in output prices for a variety of reasons. © 2007 Prentice Hall Business Publishing Principles of Economics 8e by Case and Fair 13 of 23
