Chapter 8 Aggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2010 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. Chapter Outline • Aggregate Demand • Aggregate Supply • Shifts in Aggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply • Causes of Inflation • Supply-Side Economics • How the Government can Influence (but probably not control) the economy 8-2 You Are Here 8-3 Aggregate Demand • Aggregate Demand: the amounts of real domestic output which domestic consumers, businesses, governments, and foreign buyers collectively will desire to purchase at each possible price level 8-4 Figure 1 Aggregate Demand PI AD RGDP 8-5 Why Aggregate Demand is Downward Sloping • Real Balances Effect – Because higher prices reduce real spending power, prices and output are negatively related. • Foreign Purchases Effect – When domestic prices are high, we will export less to foreign buyers and we will import more from foreign producers. Therefore higher prices leads to less domestic output. • Interest Rate Effect – higher prices lead to inflation which leads to less borrowing and a lowering of RGDP 8-6 Aggregate Supply • Aggregate Supply: the level of real domestic output available at each possible price level 8-7 Figure 2 The Aggregate Supply Curve AS PI Classical Range Intermediate Range Keynesian Range RGDP 8-8 The Ranges of AS • Keynesian Range – Large amounts of unemployment make it so that increases in aggregate demand have no affect on wages or prices. • Classical Range – Full employment makes it so that increases in aggregate demand only increase wages or prices. • Intermediate Range – Some sectors of the economy reach full employment more quickly than others. 8-9 Variables that Shift Aggregate Demand • • • • • Taxes Interest Rates Confidence Strength of the Dollar Government Spending 8-10 Determinants of AD Variable Taxes GDP Component C,I,G,X C,I Interest Rates C,I Confidence C,I Strength of the X (exportsDollar imports) Government Spending G Effect of an Effect of a increase on AD decrease on AD Decrease so AD <= Decrease so AD <= Increase so AD => Decrease so AD <= Increase so AD => Increase so AD => Increase so AD => Decrease so AD <= Increase so AD => Decrease so AD <= 8-11 Figure 3 AD Increases PI AS PI’ PI* AD’ AD RGDP* RGDP’ RGDP 8-12 Figure 4 AD Decreases PI AS PI* PI’ AD AD’ RGDP’ RGDP* RGDP 8-13 Variables that Shift AS • Input Prices • Productivity • Government Regulation 8-14 Determinants of AS Variable Effect of an Increase on AS Effect of an Decrease on AS Input Prices Decrease so AS Increase so AS Decrease so AS Increase so AS Decrease so AS Increase so AS Productivity Government Regulation 8-15 Figure 5 Increase in AS PI AS AS’ PI* PI’ AD RGDP* RGDP’ RGDP 8-16 Figure 6 Decrease in AS PI AS’ AS PI’ PI* AD RGDP’ RGDP* RGDP 8-17 Causes of Inflation • Demand Pull Inflation: inflation caused by an increase in aggregate demand • Cost Push Inflation: inflation caused by a decrease in aggregate supply 8-18 Government Influence: Aggregate Demand • Government can influence economic activity with aggregate demand side policies affecting: – Taxes – Government Spending – Interest Rates 8-19 Government Influence: Aggregate Supply • Government can influence economic activity with aggregate supply side policies affecting – input costs (labor and wage) – reducing regulation – Increase incentives to • Work • Take Risks • The actions are call Supply Side Economics 8-20
