What is the aggregate demand curve? The curve shows the level of real GDP purchased by households, businesses, government, and foreigners at different price levels during a time period, ceteris paribus 2
What does the horizontal axis measure? The value of final goods and services included in real GDP measured in base year dollars 3
What does the vertical axis measure? It is an index of the overall price level, such as the GDP deflator or the CPI 4
Why does the aggregate demand curve slope downward to the right? • Real balance wealth effect • Interest rate effect • Net exports effect 5
What is the real balance effect? Consumers spend more on goods and services because lower prices make their dollars more valuable 6
What is the interest rate effect? Assuming fixed credit, an increase in the price level translates through higher interest rates into a lower real GDP 7
What is the net exports effect? A higher domestic price level makes U. S. goods more expensive compared to foreign goods, exports decrease, imports increase, decreasing real GDP 8

What is the aggregate supply curve? The curve that shows the level of real GDP produced at different price levels during a time period, ceteris paribus 12
Why did Keynes assume fixed product prices and wages? During a deep recession or depression, there are many idle resources in the economy 13
Why do idle resources mean fixed prices? Producers are willing to sell additional output at current prices because there is plenty of resources to go around for everyone who wants them 14
Why do idle resources mean fixed wages? The supply of unemployed workers willing to work for the prevailing wage rate diminishes the power of workers to increase their wages 15
What kind of supply curve would explain fixed prices and wages? A horizontal supply curve 16

Summary 39
The aggregate demand curve shows the level of real GDP purchased in the economy at different price levels during a period of time. 40
Reasons why the aggregate demand curve is downwardsloping include the following three effects: 41
(1) The real balances or wealth effect is the impact on real GDP caused by the inverse relationship between the purchasing power of fixed value financial assets and inflation, which causes a shift in the consumption schedule. 42
(2) The interest-rate effect assumes a fixed money supply, and, therefore, inflation increases the demand for money. As the demand for money increases, the interest rate rises, causing consumption and investment spending to fall. 43
(3) The net exports effect is the impact on real GDP caused by the inverse relationship between net exports and inflation. An increase in the U. S. price level tends to reduce U. S. exports and increase imports, and vice versa. 44

The aggregate supply curve shows the level of real GDP that the economy will produce at different possible price levels. 46
The shape of the aggregate supply curve depends on the flexibility of prices and wages as real GDP expands and contracts. The aggregate supply curve has three ranges: 47
(1) The Keynesian range of the curve is horizontal because neither the price level nor production costs will increase when there is substantial unemployment in the economy. 48
(2) In the intermediate range, both prices and costs rise as real GDP rises toward full employment. Prices and production costs rise because of bottlenecks, the stronger bargaining power of labor, and the utilization of less productive workers and capital 49
(3) The classical range is the vertical segment of the aggregate supply curve. It coincides with the full-employment output. Because output is at its maximum, increases in aggregate demand will only cause a rise in the price level. 50

Aggregate demand aggregate supply analysis determines the equilibrium price level and the equilibrium real GDP by the intersection of the aggregate demand the aggregate supply curves. 52
Stagflation exists when an economy experiences inflation and unemployment simultaneously. Holding aggregate demand constant, a decrease in aggregate supply results in the unhealthy condition of a rise in the price level and a fall in real GDP and employment. 53
Cost-push inflation is inflation that results from a decrease in the aggregate supply curve while the aggregate demand curve remains fixed. 54
Cost-push inflation is undesirable because it is accompanied by declines in both real GDP and employment. 55

Chapter 20 Quiz © 2002 South-Western College Publishing 59
1. The aggregate demand curve is defined as a. the net national product. b. the sum of wages, rent, interest, and profits. c. the real GDP purchased at different possible price levels. d. the total dollar value of household expectations. C. Answers a, b, and c are not real GDP purchases at different possible price levels during a time period. 60
2. When the supply of credit is fixed, an increase in the price level stimulates the demand for credit, which, in turn, reduces consumption and investment spending. This argument is called the a. real balance effect. b. interest-rate effect. c. net exports effect. d. substitution effect. B. At a high price level, the demand for borrowed money increases and results in higher cost of borrowing (interest rates). 61
3. The real balance effect occurs because a higher price level will reduce the real value of people’s a. financial assets. b. wages. c. unpaid debt. d. physical investments. A. As price increase the dollars people receive in their paychecks and wealth are worth less. As a result, real GDP demand decreases. 62
4. The net exports effect is the inverse relationship between net exports and the _______of an economy. a. Real GDP. b. GDP deflator. c. Price level. d. Consumption spending. C. A higher domestic price level makes U. S. goods more expensive relative to foreign goods and vice versa. 63
5. Which of the following will shift the aggregate demand curve to the left? a. An increase in exports. b. An increase in investment. c. An increase in government spending. d. A decrease in government spending. D. Answers a, b, c shift the aggregate demand curve to the right. 64

Keynesian economics. c. classical economics. d. mercantilism. C. Supply-side economic concerns shifts in aggregate supply.

8. Classical economists believed that the a. price system was unstable. b. goal of full employment was impossible. c. price system automatically adjusts the economy to full employment in the long run. d. government should not attempt to restore full employment.

15. Suppose workers become pessimistic about their future employment, which causes them to save more and spend less. If the economy is on the intermediate range of the aggregate supply curve, then a. both real GDP and the price level will fall. b. real GDP will fall and the price level will rise. c. real GDP will rise and the price level will fall. d. both real GDP and the price level will rise. A. A leftward movement of the aggregate demand curve along a downward sloping aggregate supply curve will result in lower prices and 77 less employment.
