Aggregate Demand and

Aggregate Supply

Recession

A period of declining real incomes and rising

unemployment defined as negative growth for two quarters (six months)

Depression

Severe recession

Three Key FactsIrregular and Unpredictable

Variables fluctuate together

Output falls - Unemployment increases

VariablesGDP

Financial SystemInterest Rates

UnemploymentMonetary System

Trade Balance

Real - QuantitiesNominal - Money

Nominal - always one riyal - fixed

Real - what it will buy - varies

Can you have a nominal change but not a real change?

Price level changes but output stays the same

Real - Quantity

Nominal - Price

Classical ViewReal qualities matter

Amount of money does not matter

New ViewReal qualities interact with

nominal money

Long Run and Short Run

Exchange-Rate EffectLower prices

Cause interest rates to decline

Causes currency to depreciate

Stimulates demand for local currency

Stimulates exports

Increases local output

Higher prices

Cause interest rates to increase

Causes currency to appreciate

Stimulates demand for foreign currency

Stimulates imports

Decreases local output

1. Name three reasons why the Short-Run Aggregate-Supply Curve slopes upward.

2. Name six reasons why the Short-Run Aggregate-Supply Curve shifts

Sticky Wage, Sticky Price, Misperceptions

Capital (5 things) and Expected Price Level

Quiz

4 Step Analysis1. Decide what curve the event affects.

2. Decide direction of the shift

3. Diagram impact

4. Analyze short-run to long-run

Stagflation

A period of falling output and rising prices

Remember1. Three curves: AD, SRAS, LRAS

2. Event can affect one or more of the curves

3. Determine which curve and which direction.

4. Diagram impact

What if?1. New technological innovation?

2. Large increase in money supply?

3. People become worried about the future?

4. The supply of water is suddenly reduced?

What Shifts Aggregate Demand?

1. Consumption - tax cut/increase, stock market increase/decrease

2. Investment - interest rate decrease/increase

3. Government Purchases - More or Less

4. Net Exports - tied to exchange rates

What Shifts Short Run Aggregate Supply?

1. Capital: Cultural, Physical, Financial, Human, Intellectual

2. Expectations: decrease-right, increase-left

1. Name three reasons why the Aggregate-Demand Curve slopes downward.

2. Name four reasons why the Aggregate-Demand Curve shifts

3. Name three reasons why the Short-Run Aggregate-Supply Curve slopes upward.

4. Name six reasons why the Short-Run Aggregate-Supply Curve shifts
