The AS–AD Model • The AS-AD model uses the AS curve and the AD

curve together to analyze economic fluctuations.

Short-Run Macroeconomic Equilibrium • The economy is in short-run macroeconomic

equilibrium when the quantity of aggregate output supplied is equal to the quantity demanded.

• The short-run equilibrium aggregate price level

is the aggregate price level in the short-run macroeconomic equilibrium.

• Short-run equilibrium aggregate output is the

quantity of aggregate output produced in the short-run macroeconomic equilibrium.

Macroeconomic Shocks

• If a demand or supply shock hits the economy, AD or AS shifts and moves the economy to a new equilibrium.

Long-Run Macroeconomic Equilibrium

• The economy is in long-run macroeconomic

equilibrium when the point of short-run macroeconomic equilibrium is on the long-run aggregate supply curve.

Long-Run Macroeconomic Equilibrium • The economy is self-correcting when shocks to AD affect aggregate output in the short run, but not the long run.

• Stabilization policy is the use of government policy to reduce the severity of recessions and rein in excessively strong expansions.

• If policy makers react quickly to a fall in aggregate demand, they can use monetary or fiscal policy to shift the AD curve back to the right.

• Unlike demand shocks, there are no government policies that can easily react to shocks an AS shock.
