Document Summary

Equilibrium pairs of price level, real gdp. Openness and the slope of the ad curve. Aggregate demand curves are flatter in open economies. Price level changes have a larger effect on output. Non-price factors that shift ae curve, also shift the ad curve. With upward sloping as curve, value of multiplier is reduced. Aggregate supply curve has two key features: upward sloping, slope is increasing as real gdp increases. Increasing production causes increases in costs: many firms face diminishing returns to scale. When output is low, easy to expand output. When output is high, difficult to expand further. Slope of the as curve is increasing. Increasing slope to as curve affects the multiplier. When output is low, easy to expand output: multiplier is close to simple multiplier. When output is high, difficult to expand further: multiplier is smaller than simple multiplier, potentially less than one. Government spending more effective when real output is low.
