Document Summary

Ceteris paribus, the aggregate demand (ad) curve shows the negative relationship between the price level (p) and the quantity of real gdp demanded (y). An increase in the price level (p) ae shifts down real gdp (y) falls: An increase in p the real value of wealth declines consumption falls; An increase in p the interest rate increases investment falls; An increase in p u. s. exports fall, u. s. imports rise net exports fall. A movement along the aggregate demand curve is caused only by a change in p. Variables that shift the aggregate demand curve: Consumption: households" optimism about their future income ad shifts right; Investment: firms" optimism about their future profit ad shifts right; Net exports: foreign gdp grows or foreign currency increases ad shifts right; Fiscal policy: an increase in g or a decrease in t ad shifts right; Monetary policy: the fed lowers the interest rate ad shifts right. Building the short-run aggregate supply (sras) curve:

Determine the effect on either the aggregate demand curve (is it a rightward or a leftward shift?), the aggregate short-term supply curve, and the long-term aggregate supply curve (does the upward sloping portions of the SAS curve shift left or right, or does the vertical portion of the LAS curve shift to the right or the left?). Also determine the effect on the price level, the real output level, and employment/unemployment. Explain and express this graphically using the AS/AD macro model.

A fall in the value of the dollar makes U.S. goods cheaper to foreigners and foreign goods more expensive to U.S. citizens. This shifts the U.S. aggregate demand curve to the right.
