Aggregate Demand (AD)
Many factors influence AD, including desired spending by households and business firms. When desired spending changes, shifts in the AD cause short-run fluctuations in output and employment.
Monetary and Fiscal policy can be used to stabilize the economy during these fluctuations. Offset shifts.

How Monetary Policy Influences Aggregate Demand
The Aggregate Demand curve is downward sloping due to three effects:– Pigou’s Wealth Effect– Keynes’s Interest-Rate Effect– Real Exchange-Rate Effect
Of these three effects, Keynes’s Interest-Rate Effect and the x-rate effect are most important.
These 2 effects are influenced by MP.

Theory of Liquidity Preference (LP): Keynes’s theory: The development of interest rates
LP where liquidity refers to liquid assets-money is the most liquid.
The Liquidity Preference Theory (MD) of interest rates states that “...market rates of interest adjust to balance the supply and demand for money.”
At higher interest rates you want to be less liquid.

Theory of LP
Money demand reflects how much wealth people want to hold in liquid form-as money.
For simplicity, suppose household wealth includes only two assets:– Money – liquid but pays no interest--OC– Bonds – pay interest but not as liquid
A household’s “money demand” reflects its preference for liquidity.
The variables that influence money demand: Y, r, and P.

Theory of Liquidity Preference: The Supply and Demand for Money
The Money Supply is controlled by the B of C, which alters the money supply in three ways:– Open-Market Operations– Changing the Overnight Rate– Buying and selling Canadian dollars in the market for
foreign-currency exchange
The quantity of money supplied in the economy is fixed at whatever level the B of C decides to set it.
![Page 7: Overview-chapter 15: MP and FP: Impacts on AD u The supply and demand for money including the interest-rate effect on AD u How monetary policy affects](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e2a5503460f94b1803c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Theory of Liquidity Preference: The Supply and Demand for Money
Because the money supply is fixed by the B of C it does not depend on the interest rate.
The fixed money supply is represented by a vertical supply curve.

Theory of Liquidity Preference: The Supply of Money
By using Open-Market Operations the B of C can shift the vertical money supply curve left or right.
If the B of C buys government bonds:– Bank reserves increase and the money
supply increases. If the B of C sells government bonds:– Bank reserves decrease and the money
supply declines.

Theory of Liquidity Preference: The Supply and Demand for Money
Money Demand is determined by several factors. However, the most important is the interest rate.
MD= f (Y, r, P) “People choose to hold money instead of other
assets that offer higher rates of return because money can be used to buy goods and services.” (i.e. a desire for liquidity)
![Page 12: Overview-chapter 15: MP and FP: Impacts on AD u The supply and demand for money including the interest-rate effect on AD u How monetary policy affects](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e2a5503460f94b1803c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Theory of Liquidity Preference: The Supply and Demand for Money
The primary opportunity cost of having the convenience of holding money is the interest income that one gives up when one holds cash or chequing account balances.
An increase in the interest rate raises the cost of holding money and thus reduces the quantity of money balances people wish to hold.

Equilibrium in the Money Market
By the Theory of Liquidity Preference:– The interest rate adjusts to balance the
supply and demand for money. – There is one interest rate, called the
equilibrium interest rate, at which the quantity of money demanded exactly equals the quantity of money supplied.

Theory of Liquidity Preference and the Aggregate Demand Curve
The general price level of all goods and services in the economy influences the money demand and interest rates:– A higher price level raises money demand
(i.e. a shift in the money demand curve.)– Higher money demand leads to a higher
interest rate.– Higher interest rates reduce the quantity
of goods and services demanded (AD).
![Page 17: Overview-chapter 15: MP and FP: Impacts on AD u The supply and demand for money including the interest-rate effect on AD u How monetary policy affects](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e2a5503460f94b1803c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Theory of Liquidity Preference and the Aggregate Demand Curve
As interest rates increase, the cost of borrowing and the return to saving is greater. Fewer households and firms borrow money, leading to a decrease in spending. Especially Investment spending.
An increase in the price level causes the real exchange rate to increase and net exports to fall.
The end result is a negative relationship between the price level and the AD.
![Page 18: Overview-chapter 15: MP and FP: Impacts on AD u The supply and demand for money including the interest-rate effect on AD u How monetary policy affects](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e2a5503460f94b1803c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Aggregate Demand Curve and RXR
In an open economy, the other important influence is the real exchange-rate (RXR) effect. – An increase in the price level causes the real
exchange rate to increase– Canadian-produced goods are more expensive
relative to foreign-produced goods, and both foreigners and Canadians substitute away from Canadian-produced goods
– Canada’s net exports fall– This is the RXR effect on slope of AD.
![Page 19: Overview-chapter 15: MP and FP: Impacts on AD u The supply and demand for money including the interest-rate effect on AD u How monetary policy affects](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e2a5503460f94b1803c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Changes in the Money Supply The B of C has control over shifts in
the aggregate demand when it changes monetary policy. Recall: An increase in the money supply (i.e.
buying bonds) will...
…shift the Money Supply to the right
… without a change in the Money Demand the interest rate will fall, thus
… inducing people to hold the additional money the B of C has created.

Small Open Economy Considerations-MP
A monetary injection by the B of C lowers interest rates.
If rc<rw, savers from LF sell C$ and buy ROW. Increases supply of C$ in fx
This causes the dollar to depreciate, which causes net exports to rise shifting the AD curve to the right.
AD shifts farther right than in closed econ.

How Fiscal Policy Influences Aggregate Demand
Fiscal policy refers to the government’s choices regarding the overall level of government purchases or taxes.
Fiscal policy influences saving, investment, and growth in the long-run. In the short-run, fiscal policy affects aggregate demand.
FP—expansionary and contractionary: ∆G&T

Changes in G and T
The federal government can influence the economy because– of the size of the central government in
relation to the economy and other economic entities.
– of the deliberate use of spending and taxes to manipulate the economy toward achieving a predetermined outcome.

Changes in G and T--FP
The federal government’s control of the economy is both direct and indirect.– Its expenditures have a direct effect on
aggregate spending and therefore equilibrium GDP.
– Taxes and tax policy indirectly affect the aggregate spending of consumers.
– Expansionary FP is intended to shift AD right.

Changes in Government Purchases
There are two macroeconomic effects from government purchases-- ∆G:1.The Multiplier Effect: SPENDING.
2.The Crowding-Out Effect: Interest rates

The Multiplier Effect of Government Purchases
Each dollar spent by the government can raise the aggregate demand for goods and services by more than a dollar--- a multiplier effect.
The total impact of the quantity of goods and services demanded can be larger than the initial impulse from higher government spending. BECAUSE of re-spending—FIRM & its workers.
![Page 32: Overview-chapter 15: MP and FP: Impacts on AD u The supply and demand for money including the interest-rate effect on AD u How monetary policy affects](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e2a5503460f94b1803c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Spending Multiplier
The formula for the multiplier is:
Multiplier (k) = 1 ÷ (1 - MPC)MPC is the Marginal Propensity to
Consume.MPC = C/ Y Extra C from extra Y
IF MPC= 0.8, k=5$5000+4000+3200+2560+------ =$25,000$25,000 is k*5000

The Crowding-Out Effect
An increase in government purchases causes the interest rate to rise (MD shifts right) , and a higher interest rate tends to choke off the demand for goods and services.
G competes for LF raising r and reducing I The reduction in demand that results when
a fiscal expansion raises the interest rate is called the crowding-out effect.
Opposite direction to multiplier.

Crowding out
An increase in G increases spending and MD causing interest rates to rise.
The higher interest rates cause interest-sensitive spending (I) to go down and this reduction in demand is called crowding out.

Crowding out effects
When G increases its purchases (eg) by $20B, the aggregate demand for goods and services could rise by more or less than $20B depending on whether the multiplier effect or the crowding out effect is larger.

Changes in Taxes
When the government cuts taxes, it:– Increases households’ take-home pay.
This results in households saving some of the additional income---MPS
Households will spend some on consumer goods---MPC.
This shifts the aggregate-demand curve to the right. Like G spending.

Changes in Taxes
The size of the shift in aggregate demand resulting from a tax change is also affected by the multiplier and crowding-out effects.
The duration of the shift in the aggregate demand is also determined by the B of C’s policy for the exchange rate (fixed or flexible). NX effect.

SOE
In a small, open economy, an expansionary fiscal policy (∆G or ∆ T) causes the dollar to appreciate. Since this causes net exports to fall, there is an additional crowding-out effect that reduces the demand for Canadian produced goods and services.

Using Policy to Stabilize the Economy
Many policy-makers believe it necessary to use monetary and fiscal policy to achieve any level of aggregate demand and GDP that they wish. – Active monetary and fiscal intervention is
necessary to tame an inherently unstable private sector.
– The use of policy instruments stabilizes aggregate demand and production and employment.
![Page 46: Overview-chapter 15: MP and FP: Impacts on AD u The supply and demand for money including the interest-rate effect on AD u How monetary policy affects](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e2a5503460f94b1803c/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Using Policy to Stabilize the Economy
The use of government tax and spending policies to stabilize economic ups and downs in the short-run is called discretionary fiscal policy.
Generally, those that accept this approach to short-run economic stabilization follow the Keynesian theory of the economy.
![Page 47: Overview-chapter 15: MP and FP: Impacts on AD u The supply and demand for money including the interest-rate effect on AD u How monetary policy affects](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e2a5503460f94b1803c/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Using Policy to Stabilize the Economy
Some economists argue that the government should avoid using monetary and fiscal policy
Policy may make it worse. The economy can be left to deal with short-
run fluctuations on its own. Discretionary Fiscal policy affects the
economy with substantial lags. Effect? Others: Use MP only-especially SOE.

Automatic Stabilizers are changes in fiscal policy that stimulate aggregate demand when the economy goes into a recession without policy-makers having to take any deliberate action.
Automatic stabilizers include:– The Tax System: Y↓ >>T ↓– Government Spending---EI especially– Flexible X rate.

X Rate as Automatic Stabilizer
A U.S. recession would cause Canadian net exports to fall, lowering aggregate demand
However, with flexible exchange rates– Lower Canadian GDP results in lower money
demand, reducing the interest rate below the world interest rate
– Decreased demand for Canadian assets results in depreciation of the Canadian dollar, making Canadian-produced goods relatively less expensive
– Net exports rise

The Economy in the Long-Run and Short-Run
When thinking about the long-run economy the Loanable Funds Theory is used to best describe the changes that occur. Rc=Rw S=I
When thinking about the short-run economy, the Liquidity-Preference Theory is used to best describe the changes that occur. ∆Ms>> ∆R>> ∆ Y

The Economy in the Long-Run and Short-Run
In the Long-Run:– Output is determined by the supplies of
capital and labour and the available production technology. LAS--PPF
– In a closed economy, the interest rate adjusts to balance the supply and demand for loanable funds.
– The price level adjusts to balance the supply and demand for money.

The Economy in the Long-Run and Short-Run
In the Short-Run:– The price level is stuck at some level and
is relatively unresponsive to changing economic conditions. “sticky prices”
– The interest rate adjusts to balance the supply and demand for money. Keynes
– The level of output responds to changes in the aggregate demand (AD) for goods and services. On SRAS left of LAS.

Conclusion Government macroeconomic policy
should proceed carefully and with an understanding of the consequences of its policies in the short and long-run.
Fiscal policies can have long-run effects on saving, investment, the trade balance and growth. Crowding.
Monetary policy can ultimately determine the level of prices and affect the inflation rate.

Question on fp
The economy is in recession. Shifting the AD curve rightward by $200B would end the recession.
A. If MPC = .8 and there is no crowding out, how much should the government increase G to end the recession?
B. If there is crowding out, will the government need to increase G more or less than this amount?
![Page 55: Overview-chapter 15: MP and FP: Impacts on AD u The supply and demand for money including the interest-rate effect on AD u How monetary policy affects](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e2a5503460f94b1803c/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Fp-multiplier
The economy is in recession. Shifting the AD curve rightward by $200B would end the recession.
A. If MPC = .8 and there is no crowding out, how much should the government increase G to end the recession?
Multiplier = 1/(1 – .8) = 5
Increase G by $40B to shift AD by 5 x $40B = $200B.

Crowding out
The economy is in recession. Shifting the AD curve rightward by $200B would end the recession.
B. If there is crowding out, will the government need to increase G more or less than this amount?
Crowding out reduces the impact of G on AD.
To offset this, the government should increase G by a larger amount.
How much more??-depends on crowding parameter.

Pdot and U rate—ch 16
How are inflation and the Unemployment rate related in the short run? In the long run?
What factors alter this relationship? Especially how dies this relate to AD, SRAS AND LAS?
What is the short-run cost of reducing inflation?
![Page 58: Overview-chapter 15: MP and FP: Impacts on AD u The supply and demand for money including the interest-rate effect on AD u How monetary policy affects](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e2a5503460f94b1803c/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
What we will show
In the long run, inflation & unemployment are unrelated: Neutrality.
–The inflation rate depends mainly on growth in the money supply.
–Unemployment (the “natural rate”) depends on the minimum wage, the market power of unions, efficiency wages, and the process of job search. real
–SR related to cycles.—AD and SRAS.
