Chapter 22 Aggregate Demand and Supply Analysis Copyright © 2010 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. Aggregate Demand • The relationship between the quantity of aggregate output demanded and the price level when all other variables are held constant. • Aggregate demand is made up of four component parts Copyright © 2010 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 22-2 Aggregate Demand (cont’d) Y ad = C + I + G + NX The aggregate demand curve is downward sloping because P ↓⇒ M / P ↑⇒ i ↓⇒ I ↑⇒ Y ad ↑ and P ↓⇒ M / P ↑⇒ i ↓⇒ E ↓⇒ NX ↑⇒ Y ad ↑ and P ↓⇒ M / P ↑⇒ C ↑⇒ Y ad ↑ Copyright © 2010 Pearson Addison-Wesley.

All rights reserved. 22-4 Aggregate Demand (cont’d) • The fact that the aggregate demand curve is downward sloping can also be derived from the quantity theory of money analysis. • If velocity stays constant, a constant money supply implies constant nominal aggregate spending, and a decrease in the price level is matched with an increase in aggregate demand.

All rights reserved. 22-5 Factors that Shift Aggregate Demand • An increase in the money supply shifts AD to the right: holding velocity constant, an increase in the money supply increases the quantity of aggregate demand at each price level • An increase in spending from any of the components C, I, G, NX, will also shift AD to the right Copyright © 2010 Pearson Addison-Wesley.

All rights reserved. 22-10 Factors that Shift SRAS • Costs of production – – – – Tightness of the labor market Expected price level Wage push Change in production costs unrelated to wages (supply shocks) Copyright © 2010 Pearson Addison-Wesley.
