AD-AS Model
Aggregate Demand
and
Aggregate Supply
Recession
A period of declining real
incomes and rising
unemployment defined as
negative growth for two
quarters (six months)
Depression
Severe recession
Three Key Facts
Irregular and Unpredictable
Variables fluctuate together
Output falls - Unemployment
increases
Variables
GDP
Financial System
Interest Rates
Unemployment
Monetary System
Trade Balance
Real - Quantities
Nominal - Money
Nominal - always one riyal - fixed
Real - what it will buy - varies
Can you have a nominal change
but not a real change?
Price level changes but output
stays the same
Real - Quantity
Nominal - Price
ClassicalView
Real qualities matter
Amount of money does
not matter

Real qualities
interact with
nominal money

1. real wealth increases
2. interest rates fall
3. exchange rates depreciate
increase spending
increase investments

Consumption - Wealth Effect
Investment - Interest-Rate Effect
Net Exports - Exchange-Rate Effect
Wealth Effect
Lower prices
Buy more stuff
Increase output
Higher prices
Buy less stuff
Decrease output
Lower prices
Need less money
More money to loan
Lower rates
Borrow easy
Buy more stuff
Increase output
Interest Rate Effect
Higher prices
Need more money
Less money to loan
Higher rates
Borrow harder
Buy less stuff
Decrease output
Exchange-Rate Effect
Lower prices
Cause interest rates to decline
Causes currency to depreciate
Stimulates demand for local
currency
Stimulates exports
Increases local output
Higher prices
Cause interest rates to increase
Causes currency to appreciate
Stimulates demand for foreign
currency
Stimulates imports
Decreases local output

Quiz
4 Step Analysis
1. Decide what curve the event affects.
2. Decide direction of the shift
3. Diagram impact
4. Analyze short-run to long-run
Stagflation
A period of falling output
and rising prices
Remember
1.Three curves:AD, SRAS, LRAS
2. Event can affect one or more of the
curves
3. Determine which curve and which
direction.
4. Diagram impact
What if?
1. New technological innovation?
2. Large increase in money supply?
3. People become worried about the
future?
4.The supply of water is suddenly
reduced?
What Shifts Aggregate Demand?
1. Consumption - tax cut/increase, stock
market increase/decrease
2. Investment - interest rate decrease/
increase
3. Government Purchases - More or Less
4. Net Exports - tied to exchange rates
What Shifts Short Run
Aggregate Supply?
1. Capital: Cultural, Physical, Financial,
Human, Intellectual
2. Expectations: decrease-right, increase-
left
1. Name three reasons why the Aggregate-Demand
Curve slopes downward.
2. Name four reasons why the Aggregate-Demand Curve
shifts
3. Name three reasons why the Short-Run Aggregate-
Supply Curve slopes upward.
4. Name six reasons why the Short-Run Aggregate-
Supply Curve shifts
