Document Summary

Aggregate demand and aggregate supply - a model that explains short-run fluctuations in real gdp and price level. Aggregate demand curve (ad) - a curve that shows the relationship between the price level and the quantity of real gdp demanded by households, firms, and the government. The aggregate demand curve is downward sloping because as the price level falls, there is an increase in the amount of real gdp demanded. Short-run aggregate supply curve (sras) - a curve that shows the relationship in the short run between the price level and the quantity of real gdp supplied by firms. How a change in price level affects consumption. If price levels fall, the real wealth of a household will increase, so they are going to increase their total consumption. If price levels rise, the real wealth of a household will decrease, so they are going to decrease their total consumption. How a change in the price level affects investment.
