Document Summary

Causes of the great recession: largest house price bubble in history, financial panic, oil price shock. Inflation rate on the y axis and current level of output on the x axis. Aggregate demand curve shows the amount of output consumers, firms, government, and customers abroad want to purchase at each inflation rate. Slopes downward because an increase in the inflation rate causes planned consumption, investment, and net exports to fall --> pae and output to fall. When inflation rate rises, the federal reserve increases the real interest rate. Higher real interest rate causes consumption, investment, and net exports to fall. Long-run equilibrium: a situation in which the ad and as curves intersect at potential output y* Short-run equilibrium: a situation where the ad and as curves intersect at a level of real gdp that is above or below potential. Demand shocks: changes in planned spending that are not caused by changes in output or the inflation rate.
