2.2 AGGREGATE Demand and AGGREGATE Supply Macroeconomic Goals • Lots of debate • Not a lot of knowledge among all decision makers. (homework) • General agreement on 5 goals 5 main goals • Full employment – Controversial as to what this exactly is • Price stability – Control inflation • Economic Development – - increase HDI • Economic Growth – Increase in rGDP • External Equilibrium 5 main goals • Full employment – Controversial as to what this exactly is • Price stability – Control inflation • Economic Development – - increase HDI • Economic Growth – Increase in RGDP • External Equilibrium Conflicts among goals • • • • Full employment vs price stability Growth vs development External vs internal There is lots of debate about which lever to pull first • Let’s start with Economic Growth – Inflation, employment will be later in Sec 2 – External equilibrium is Sec 3 – Economic Development is Sec 4 Economic Growth • 2 sides to the economy 2 sector circular flow Economic Growth • 2 sides to the economy – Consumption and Production • Consumption is also known as “demand” • Aggregate Aggregate Demand WAS Largest Mall in Europe Remember? • • • • • Formula for GDP C + G + I + (X-M) Same formula for Aggregate Demand r= Adjusted for inflation Consumption (C) • Services • Goods – Durable vs non -durable • N.B. Durable goods affected by credit availability Investment (I) • Replacement investment - maintain • Induced investment - expand Trade (x-m) • Looking at net figure • AKA Balance of Trade Simple rule • • • • When price goes up Demand falls So…. When general price level is higher…. • rGDP is lower • (AKA National Income) Aggregate Demand General Price Level A PL AD Real National Income Y Aggregate Demand • What about general price level? – Consumer price index (CPI) – Mostly theoretical – And sometimes hypothetical CHANGE in AD • IF PL (general price level) changes then AD changes inversely • It is downward sloping curve Aggregate Demand General Price Level A B AD Real National Income 2 causes of change in AD • Macroeconomic Income Effect – Prices go up or down (be careful) • Macroeconomic Substitution Effect – A cheaper alternative is found – Since it is macro: • Substitution has to come from outside the economy – Leakages – Imports, savings etc • Very simple AND only along the curve • Vocabulary - RISE and FALL ….inverse • NOT what we will spend most of our time on. SHIFT in AD • Looking at the total economy: • Income and/or wealth changes C • Income = wages, salaries, tips, etc • Also includes availability of credit (ie loans) – So if interest rates go up – Consumer income goes down – And also savings could increase (leakage) • Wealth = assets – Physical and monetary – Change in house/stock prices affects this • Business investments changing • Also affected by interest rates (credit availability) I 4 sector flow chart Shift in AD • Government policies changing G • Politically driven • Happen in two areas • Fiscal policy – Direct spending by government » Military, social welfare, increase/reduce taxes • Monetary policy – Control of money supply » Central Banks (ie Federal Reserve, ECB, Bank al Maghreb ) empowered to make money (loans) easy to get (loose) » Or hard to get (tight) Fiscal Policy • Expansionary • Contractionary Monetary Policy • We will deal with this much more in “inflation” but for now….. • Banks are regulated by a Central Bank (Federal Reserve, ECB, Bank al Maghreb) • Central Bank loans money - Base Rate or Discount Rate • Banks then loan to consumers/business/each other. • Big businesses get Prime Rate • Central Bank can also affect “required reserve” US Central Bank Comparison Monetary Policy • Expansionary (Loose) • Contractionary (Tight) Impacts (more in Sec 2.4) Balance of Trade • • • • If you export more… increase rGDP due to increase in I More jobs= more spending (affects C) Also, you are selling more overseas so affects____ • If you import more….. Tertiary vs Primary/Secondary ?????? • Why demand for imports? (increased C) Aggregate Demand General Price Level A B AD2 AD AD3 Real National Income Demand Side Shock • Temporary event • AD increases (shifts right) or decreases (shifts left) • Due to political, natural events • After shock, AD returns to normal 10 Causes of SHIFT in AD 1. ∆ in wealth/income 2. ∆ in consumer confidence (expectations) 3. ∆ in interest rates 4. ∆ in technology 5. ∆ in business confidence 6. ∆ in fiscal policy 7. ∆ in monetary policy 8. ∆ in exports/imports 9. ∆ in exchange rates 10. Demand side shock • Vocabulary: increase and decrease. III. Aggregate Supply • Same idea as AD - total amount of goods/services available • But reverse holds true: • When PL is up, AS (aka Y) is up • Parallel relationship • Upward sloping curve Aggregate Supply General Price Level AS A P1 Y1 Real National Income III. Aggregate Supply • Same idea as AD - total amount of goods/services available – But reverse holds true: • When PL is up, AS is up • Parrallel relationship • Upward sloping curve • Simple rule - when demand meets supply the economy is in harmony (equilibrium) Aggregate Demand and Supply General Price Level AS A P1 AD Y1 Real National Income In other words, there are no shortages or excess (surplus) at point A. Equilibrium Why is this important? • Key to understanding: – Unemployment – Inflation – And government policy towards economy • • • • Goal: Moving the equilibrium point…AKA rGDP = that spot of intersection AKA: rGDP/Y/National Income/AD&AS Equilibrium General Price Level AS A P1 AD Y1 Real National Income III. Aggregate Supply • Same as demand - total amount of goods/services available. • Simple rule - when demand meets supply the economy is in harmony (equilibrium) • UNFORTUNATELY there are two types of aggregate supply (AS) – Short Run (SRAS) – Long Run (LRAS) Short Run AS • Producers can change labor input to increase/decrease production • BUT don’t have to build new factories etc • Ex: Holiday shopping season, tourism season. increase/decrease • They are not necessarily responding to current prices. • Labour costs ∆ Aggregate Supply: short run • In the short run price is fixed so the aggregate supply curve is horizontal.

(supply rises) When weekend ends, he fires extra help NOW - imagine this on an economy wide scale Long Run AS • Remember the PPF? • Since producers make long term decisions (hopefully) then they already have the capacity to handle short term fluctuations • But…..what if they change their outlook on the future? 2 views of LRAS LRAS General Price Level SRAS National Income Shifts in Short Run Aggregate Supply LRAS General Price Level P2 P1 SRAS3 SRAS1 AD SRAS2 Y2 Y1 Y3 Yfc Remember Ceteris Paribus National Income What makes supply? • Land – materials • Labor – Skills • Capital – Technology – Machines • Entrepreneurship/risk • FACTORS OF PRODUCTION So we have a conflict • Based on the issue of “full employment” and “capacity” • When is economy able to fully provide enough supply to meet demand? • Is it now? Or do we need to manipulate it?

Keynesian view LRAS General Price Level SRAS National Income Monetarist(neo classical) View General Price Level LRAS SRAS National Income “Capacity” • • • • • Size of workforce Output per worker Available technology Available raw materials Capital stock So… • Is economy using all materials/labor/capital available? • Are we on the PPF curve or at “I” ? • And what is the determination of full employment? • Ceteris Paribus » QUIZ NEXT CLASS » Homework AS worksheet, pg 1 & 2 Two main schools of thought • Keynesian • Monetarist (neo -classical) Keynesian • John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946) • British • Lots of assumptions to challenge. • For now: full employment is never reached w/o government intervention. • LRAS has three phases AND is dependent on PL Keynesian view LRAS General Price Level 1 National Income Phase 1 - spare capacity exists, producers can increase w/o incurring more costs, or increasing prices Keynesian view LRAS General Price Level 2 National Income Phase 2 - scarcity bids up general price level as producers pass on costs to consumers. Higher prices increase production Keynesian view LRAS General Price Level 3 Full Employment Level of output National Income Phase 3- it is impossible to increase production b/c economy is at full capacity. NOW something must be done to change capacity. Prices go up, output stays the same. Keynesian view General Price Level LRAS 1 LRAS 2 National Income Shift the curve - how do we get supply to increase at same prices? The Monetarists (neo-classicals) • Friedrich Hayek (Austrian School) • Milton Friedman (Chicago School) Monetarist (neo-classical) view • There is no build up to capacity • Economy already exists at capacity • Potential output is dependent on QUALITY and QUANTITY of factors of production • Suppliers need incentives to shift supply curve. • If you give consumers more money, it will only raise prices. Monetarist(neo classical) View LRAS 1 LRAS 2 General Price Level SRAS 1 SRAS 2 National Income In simple English • Keynesian view is that suppliers will respond if more money is injected at consumer level and/or prices rise. • Monetarist view is that suppliers will only respond to incentives (market or forced) Stickiness • Wage – Contracts – resistance • Price – Information speed – Other factors Fantasy land • For Monetarist to work: • No unions • No minimum wage laws • No price guarantees • For Keynesian to work • Huge government debts • Huge tax increases on wealthy • Huge risk of inflation Aggregate Demand and Supply LRAS General Price Level Pe SRAS AD Ye Yfc National Income Inflationary and Deflationary gaps • Anytime the AD curve is on the AS curve BELOW full employment level of output • We have a Deflationary Gap (aka output gap) Deflationary Gap LRAS General Price Level Pe SRAS AD Ye Think “I” on PPF Yfc National Income Inflationary and Deflationary gaps • Anytime the AD curve is on the AS curve BELOW full employment level of output • We have a Deflationary Gap (aka output gap) • Conversely, Inflationary Gap is when Inflationary Gap LRAS General Price Level AD SRAS Yfc More on this Later……….

Demand Side vs Supply Side • Viewpoint differs on concept of capacity. • No argument that capacity is eventually reached. • Argument on when. (ferris clip) Back to the gas station model • During holiday rush weekend, owner hires a few more pump attendants. • Then fires them when demand goes back down. • Apply this concept to the whole economy. • What would make gas station owner open up more gas stations? • Keynesians say: if more people are going to be consistently buying gas then owner will make long range plans. • Monetarists say it will only work if the cost or quality of the new gas stations is made cheaper/better. • Short run - easy to increase supply. Long run - much more expensive and risky An Increase in Aggregate Demand LRAS General Price Level P2 P1 AD2 SRAS AD1 Y1 Y2 Yfc National Income A Fall in Aggregate Demand LRAS General Price Level P1 P2 AD1 SRAS AD2 Y2 Y1 Yfc National Income Shifts in Aggregate Demand General Price Level LRAS P2 P1 P3 AD2 SRAS AD1 AD3 Y3 Y1 Y2 Yfc National Income • Monetarist says in the long run you need to shift the whole curve to avoid price increases.

Run • If aggregate demand shifts out, the economy moves from point 1 to point 2, above full employment output. • As we approach the long run there is upward pressure on P. As P increases Y decreases and we move along AD to point 3. • The end result is that Y returns to the natural level but P is permanently higher.
