Document Summary

Summary of lecture notes from chapter 15 and practice questions. Key points: all societies experience short-run economic fluctuations around long-run trends. When recessions do occur, real gdp and other measures of income, spending, and production fall, and unemployment rises: economists analyze short-run economic fluctuations using the model of aggregate demand and aggregate supply. According to this model, the output of goods and services and the overall level of prices adjust to balance aggregate demand and aggregate supply: the aggregate-demand curve slopes downward for three reasons. First, a lower price level raises the real value of households" money holdings, which stimulates consumer spending. Second, a lower price level reduces the quantity of money households demand; as households try to convert money into interest-bearing assets, interest rates fall, which stimulates investment spending. Third, a lower price level reduces the real exchange rate.
