Aggregate Demand and Supply
AggregatePrice Level
(P)
Aggregate Output (Y)
The aggregate demand (AD) and aggregate supply (AS) model is used to analyze the economy.
It shows the relationship between aggregate output of goods and services in the economy and the price level.

Answer: The aggregate demand curve would shift to the right. If the stock market rises, consumers will be wealthier, and they are willing to buy more at each price level.

Notice that at price level P0, aggregate output was Y0. After the increase in aggregate demand, aggregate output increases to Y1 at the price level P0.

Question: Assume the graph to the right represents the U.S. economy. If foreign countries become richer, will this affect aggregate demand in the U.S.?
AD0

Answer: Yes! The aggregate demand curve would shift to the right. If foreign consumers are richer, they will spend more. Part of this spending will be on U.S. exports. AD1

The aggregate supply curve shows the real GDP that firms will produce at varying price levels.
We will need to make a distinction between the short-run aggregate supply curve (SRAS) and the long-run aggregate supply curve (LRAS).

Let’s first begin with the SRAS curve.
Back
Interactive Examples
Next
Question: Why is the SRAS curve positively sloped?
SRAS
Answer: The SRAS curve is positively sloped because some input costs are slow to change in the short run.
For example, when prices rise, wages for workers do not automatically adjust upward. The result is higher profits for businesses, which in turn induces them to supply more output.

Answer: The SRAS curve would shift to the right. At each price level, suppliers would be willing to bring more goods to the market.

Question: If businesses expect the prices for their products to rise in the near future, what would happen to the SRAS curve?
Answer: The SRAS curve would shift to the left. If companies think they can sell their products for more money in the near future, they will cut back on their current supply and wait to get better prices.

Question: If the President of the United States enacts tough new compliance laws for every company importing goods in order to minimize the risk of terrorist activity, would this effect the aggregate supply curve?
SRAS0
Answer: Yes, the SRAS curve would shift to the left. The new compliance laws will raise the costs of supplying goods, and therefore producers will bring less product to market for each given price level.

Question: What is the time period cutoff between the short run and the long run?
Answer: Trick question! In the current context, the difference between the short run and the long run has nothing to do with a time horizon. The difference is that in the short run prices are sticky and in the long run prices are flexible.

Question: What effect did the invention of the internet have on the LRAS curve?
LRAS0
Answer: The LRAS curve shifted to the right as a result of the invention of the internet. The new technology made workers more productive and opened the door to new industries, both of which increased the productive capacity of the economy.

Question: If home prices across the economy rise, what will be the short-run and long-run effects in our model?
P0
Y0
Answer: An increase in home values increases wealth. In the short run, this causes the AD0 curve to shift to the right to AD1. Note that the price level and output level have increased to P1 and Y1, respectively.
Answer: In the long run, workers will feel the pressure of the increased prices and demand higher wages. This will cause the SRAS0 curve to shift to the left to SRAS1. Here a new equilibrium is reached at P2 and Y0.
