Short-Run Economic FluctuationsEconomic In
activity fluctuates from year to year.most years production of goods and services rises. In some years normal growth does not occur, causing a recession.
A
recession is a period of declining real GDP, falling incomes, and rising unemployment. A depression is a severe recession.
Three Key Facts About Economic FluctuationsEconomic
fluctuations are irregular and unpredictable. Fluctuations
in the economy are often called the business cycle.
Most
macroeconomic variables fluctuate together. As output falls, unemployment rises.

The Basic Model of Economic FluctuationsEconomist use the model of aggregate demand and aggregate supply to explain short-run fluctuations The aggregate demand curve shows the quantity of goods and services that households, firms, and the government want to buy at each price level. The aggregate supply curve shows the quantity of goods and services that firms produce and sell at each price level.
4 steps for analyzingmacroeconomic Fluctuations1.
Decide whether the event shift aggregate demand or supply curve Decide in which direction the curve shifts Use diagram to see how shift changes output & price level Use diagram to see how economy moves from short run equilibrium to long run equilibrium

Why the Aggregate Demand Curve Is Downward Sloping The
Price Level and Consumption: The Wealth Effect The Price Level and Investment: The Interest Rate Effect The Price Level and Net Exports: The Exchange-Rate Effect
Cont. WEALTH
EFFECT : decrease in the price level makes consumers feel more wealthy, which in turn encourages them to spend more. RATE EFFECT : A lower price level reduces the interest rate, which encourages greater spending on investment goods. RATE EFFECT : When a fall in the Indian price level causes Indian interest rates to fall, the real exchange rate depreciates, which stimulates India net exports.

The Long-Run Aggregate Supply CurveIn
the long run, the aggregate-supply curve is vertical. The long-run aggregate supply curve is vertical at the natural rate of output. This level of production is also referred to as potential output or full-employment output.

arising from Labor, Capital, Natural Resources, Technology. arising from the Expected Price Level.
Shifts
An increase in the expected price level reduces the quantity of goods and services supplied because higher wages to be paid, high cost so less production A decrease in the expected price level raises the quantity of goods and services supplied because lower wage, low cost so more production.
Effect of shift in Aggregate Demand In
the short run, shifts in aggregate demand cause fluctuations in the economys output of goods and services. In the long run, shifts in aggregate demand affect the overall price level but do not affect output.

Effect of shift in Aggregate SupplyA
decrease in one of the determinants of aggregate supply shifts the curve to the left: Output
falls below the natural rate of employment. (stagnation) Unemployment rises. The price level rises. (inflation) Adverse shifts in aggregate supply cause stagflationa combination of recession and inflation.

Policy Responses to Recession Policymakers may Do
respond to a recession in one of the following ways:nothing and wait for prices and wages to adjust. Take action to increase aggregate demand by using monetary and fiscal policy.
