Aggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply
2
The Aggregate Demand Curve
• When price level rises, money demand curve shifts rightward• Consequently, interest rate is higher, given money supply is fixed• Then, aggregate expenditure decreases (AE line shifts downward)• As a result, the equilibrium GDP becomes lower
So, a rise in price level causes a decrease in equilibrium GDP.
The aggregate demand curve shows the negative relationship between price levels and equilibrium real GDP

Understanding the AD Curve
• Each point on the AD curve represents a short-run equilibrium in economy
• The AD curve is different from a demand curve for one particular product
5
Movements of the AD Curve
• Moving along the AD curve whenever price level changes
• When anything other than price level cause equilibrium GDP to change, the AD curve shifts– Government purchasing– Taxes– Autonomous consumption spending– Investment spending– Net exports– Money supply– Expectations

Costs and Prices
• To understand how macroeconomic events affect the price level, we assume– A firm sets price of its products as a markup over cost per unit– So, in the short-run, price level rises when there is an economy-
wide increase in unit costs• Labor costs• Costs of natural resources
• How an increase in output level raises the price level?– As output increases, demand for inputs rises– As unit cost increases, price level ( assumed as a markup over unit cost)
rises

Movements of the AS Curve
• When price level changes due to a change in real GDP, the change happens along the AS curve
• When the change of price level is caused by any factor other than real GDP, the AS curve shifts– Oil prices– Weather– Technological change– Nominal wage

An Increase in Government Purchases
– When G , AD curve shifts rightward. As a result, real GDP , given price level is fixed
– However, when real GDP , unit cost , so price level– Furthermore, as price level , Md and interest rate ,
which causes aggregate expenditure to decrease– In the end, real GDP increases by less than horizontal
shift in AD curve
14
An Increase in the Money Supply
• Can you demonstrate how an increase in the money supply affects the real equilibrium GDP?
15
Demand Shocks
• A positive demand shock—shifts AD curve rightward– Increases both real GDP and price level in
short-run
• A negative demand shock—shifts AD curve leftward– Reduces both real GDP and price level in short-
run
16
Examples
• The Great Depression 1929 – 1933– Negative demand shocks
• Oil Crisis 1973 (began on October 17)– Negative supply shocks
17
Demand Shocks: Adjusting to the Long-Run
• In short-run, wage rate is treated as given
• But in long-run, wage rate can change– When output is above full employment, wage
rate will rise, shifting AS curve upward– When output is below full employment, wage
rate will fall, shifting AS curve downward

More examples
• 1990-91 recession – Oil supplies and price of oil
• 2001 recession– Money supply and interest rate
Inflation and Unemployment
• Low inflation and unemployment
–Fed’s major goals
–Compatible or conflicting?
• Short-run tradeoff
• Supply shocks cause both rates to rise
• No long-run tradeoff
