AGGREGATE DEMAND

• Aggregate Demand: the amounts of real domestic output which domestic consumers, businesses, governments, and foreign buyers collectively will desire to purchase at each possible price level

WHY AGGREGATE DEMAND IS DOWNWARD SLOPING

• Real Balances Effect• Because higher prices reduce real spending

power, prices and output are negatively related.• If you go to bed with $20 and when you wake

up prices are higher, then you buy more stuff• Foreign Purchases Effect• When domestic prices are high, we will export

less to foreign buyers and we will import more from foreign producers.• This is the standard effect that when prices go

up you switch to a substitute. 5

• Interest Rate Effect• higher prices mean I need to hold more

money to buy the same amount of stuff• This leads me to transfer money from my

savings account to checking account (or things like savings to things like checking)• As a result savings declines relative to

borrowing which leads to increases in interest rates• Increase in interest rates lead people to spend

less today

• To see why suppose all prices were exactly double what they were today

WHY IS LONG RUN SUPPLY INELASTIC?

• To see why suppose all prices were exactly double what they were today• Firms would make twice the money

WHY IS LONG RUN SUPPLY INELASTIC?

• To see why suppose all prices were exactly double what they were today• Firms would make twice the money• They would pay twice the amount in wages• People would buy the same basket of goods• Nothing has changed-sort of like denoting prices in

pennies rather than dollars it doesn’t make any real difference

be no change in real output

WHY IS SHORT RUN SUPPLY ELASTIC?

• Put simply, things don’t adjust instantly and while prices might not matter in the long run, they might matter a lot in the short run

WHY IS SHORT RUN SUPPLY ELASTIC?

• Put simply, things don’t adjust instantly and while prices might not matter in the long run, they might matter a lot in the short run• There are many reasons why this might be but the most

important is the Sticky Wage Theory
