AD/AS Model and Inflation
AD/AS Model
Aggregate = Total
Aggregate Demand = Total demand in the economy
Aggregate Supply = Total supply in the economy
Aggregate Demand Curve
• Shows the total demand in an economy at
each price level
• Price Level = general level of prices
(Measures inflation)
• Aggregate demand is demand from each of
the sectors of the economy
Aggregate Demand
• AD = consumption spending (C) + Investment spending
(I) + government spending (G) + net exports[export
receipts (X) – Import payments (M)]
• AD = C + I + G + (X-M)
• If any of the components increases, then AD will
increase and cause the AD curve to shift to the right
• If any of these components decreases, the AD will
decrease and cause the AD curve to shift to the left
What might cause a change in AD???

Shifts of the AD curve
Aggregate Supply
• The aggregate supply curve shows the total output
in an economy at each price level
• The aggregate supply curve is drawn assuming that
– Nominal wages (Cost of production)
– Import prices (cost of imported raw materials)
– Productivity ( influenced by investment and technology)
Are all held constant
If any of these three factors change then there will be a
shift of the AS curve

Equilibrium
Occurs where AD=AS
This level also indicates
• The price level Ple (Inflation
rate)
• the level of employment ,
output and Real GDP (Ye)

YF shows full employment.
YF - Ye shows the level

Equilibrium represents where the
economy will tend to move
towards. Once we are at this
equilibrium the economy will stay
here unless AD or AS moves
.
Using the AD/AS model to illustrate
Inflation
• Inflation = any increase in the general price
level in the economy
• There are two changes on the AD/AS model
that will result in inflation
1. Increase in AD
2. Decrease in AS
Increase in AD (Demand Pull Inflation)
• Any factor that causes a rise in AD, will cause a rise
in the general level of prices, this is called demand
pull inflation

Decrease in AS (Cost Push Inflation)
• Any factor that causes a fall in AS, will cause a rise
in the general level of prices, this is called cost
