OK One more time.. Component parts of GDP? C + I + G + (X-M) =
GDP Long-Run Aggregate Supply Curve (LRAS) A vertical line
representing the real output of goods and services after full
adjustment has occurred It represents the real GDP of the economy
under conditions of full employment; the economy is on its
production possibilities curve
Slide 5
The Production Possibilities and the Economys Long-Run
Aggregate Supply Curve
Slide 6
Output Growth and the Long-Run Aggregate Supply Curve (cont'd)
LRAS is vertical Input prices fully adjust to changes in output
prices Suppliers have no incentive to increase output Unemployment
is at the natural rate Determined by endowments and technology (or
existing resources) Growth is shown by outward shifts of either the
production possibilities curve or the LRAS curve caused by Growth
of population and the labor-force participation rate Capital
accumulation Improvements in technology
Slide 7
What is AD and why slope downward? AD = C + I + G + (X-M)
Slide 8
Think: Why does AD slope downward? Real domestic output, GDP AD
Price level Vertical axis represents Price level for ALL final
goods And services The aggregate price level Is measured by either
GDP Deflator or CPI The horizontal axis represents the real
quantity of all G&S purchased as measured by the level of REAL
GDP
Slide 9
Figure 10-4 The Aggregate Demand Curve As the price level
rises, real GDP declines
Slide 10
There are 3 Reasons that cause the Aggregate Demand Curve to be
downward sloping. Real Balance Effect (Wealth effect) Interest Rate
Effect International Trade Effect
Slide 11
Real Balance Effect 1) Wealth effect= as price level falls, the
real wealth people hold increases and they can consumer more. 2)
Real Balance Effect (or wealth effect) Higher price level means
less consumption spending.
Slide 12
Real Balance Effect The change in the purchasing power of
dollar- Relates to assets that result from a change in the price
level
Slide 13
Interest Rate Effect Inverse relationship between price level
and quantity demanded of GDP . Price level falls (bundle of goods
costs less) rest of money into savings, more money available for
borrowing interest rate down. Think of money as stationary demand
drives up price of money.
Slide 14
Factors That Change Aggregate Demand & Consumption/Interest
Rates Interest Rate C AD Interest Rate C AD
Slide 15
Interest Rate continued Now if bundle of goods increases want
to purchase interest sensitive good, cost to borrow is up. An
increase in money demand will drive up the price paid for its use
use of money = interest rate As price level rises, houses and firms
require more money to handle transactions
Slide 16
International Trade Effect ( Open Economy Effect) FYI: An open
economy is global, a closed economy is domestic. The Open Economy
Effect Higher price levels result in foreigners desiring to buy
fewer American- made goods while Americans desire more foreign-made
goods (i.e., net exports fall). Decrease in price level leads
domestic goods to be cheaper- Means foreigners want to purchase
more and exports increase. When Demand for exports decreases, this
is an unfavorable balance of trade (imports exceed exports)
Slide 17
Reminder about PL Definition below: Price level is the weighted
average of the prices of al final goods and services produced in an
economy. PL is measured by CPI (most common) GDP deflator (govt
prefers because it yields a lower figure) Price Level Stability =
steadiness of the PL from one period to the next. (low annual rate
of inflation = price stability Can take your $20 dollars and know
what you can buy.
Slide 18
Changes in AD Change in PL will change amount of aggregate
spending which changes amount of real GDP PL Change in one of
determinants of AD (C+I+G+X-M) which directly affects real GDP.
(consumption GDP Change in any of the component parts of AD (C + I
+ G + Net Exports) GDP A B PL is made up of CPI or GDP deflator
PL
Slide 19
Difference between Quantity of AD and Change of AD QAD =
movement up or down as result of price level changing (ONLY) Change
in AD = Change in any of the component parts of AD (C + I + G + Net
Exports)
Changes in Investment Spending Real Interest Rates ( rates
high- not much I taking place) Expected Future Sales ( health of
economy- confidence is big) Business Taxes ( higher taxes less
profit)
Slide 22
Factors That Change Aggregate Demand & Investment/ Business
Taxes Business taxes I AD Business taxes I AD
Slide 23
Government Spending This will be discussed further, but anytime
government spends, it has an affect on GDP. Infrastructure Health
Care Supplies for military Education Etc.
Slide 24
Net Export Spending National Income Abroad- (when foreign
nations do well, their incomes are higher- can buy more U.S. goods
and services. U.S. exports rise) Exchange Rates- Price of one
nations currency in terms of another. Dollar vs Euro Our currency
appreciates if it takes more foreign $ to buy it.. (depreciates if
it takes more of ours to buy theirs.) $1.00 to $1.25 Euro.
Depreciation of nations currency makes foreign goods more expensive
(but attracts foreigners to buy our goods.) Our exports rise. *this
is why the Fed has not worried about our low dollar valuation.
Slide 25
Long-Run Equilibrium and the Price Level For the economy as a
whole, long-run equilibrium occurs at the price level where the
aggregate demand curve (AD) crosses the long-run aggregate supply
curve (LRAS).
Slide 26
Long-Run Equilibrium and the Price Level For the economy as a
whole, long-run equilibrium occurs at the price level where the
aggregate demand curve (AD) crosses the long-run aggregate supply
curve (LRAS).
Slide 27
Aggregate Supply Short Run In short run input prices and output
prices are fixed (referred to as immediate SR) Regular SR = SRAS
input prices fixed but output can vary. * Example: wages/contracts
fixed and little adjustment can occur until either laid off or
contract renewal. Long Run Long run supply curve is vertical. Full
employment and capacity has been reached *wages and prices are
flexible and the profit level will adjust to give firms the right
profit level and firm has no incentive to produce beyond Qf.
Slide 28
SRAS Period where adjustment occurs.
Slide 29
AD and SRAS
Slide 30
LRAS = long-run aggregate supply (a period when nominal wages
and other resource prices respond to price-level changes) LRAS is a
vertical line reflecting that LR Aggregate Supply is not affected
by changes in PL. The LRAS is labeled as the natural level of real
GDP The natural level of real GDP is defined as the level of real
GDP that arises when the economy is fully employing all of its
available input resources ( We are in agreement that it hovers
around 5%)
Slide 31
Equilibrium States of the Economy During the time an economy
moves from one equilibrium to another, it is said to be in
disequilibrium.
Slide 32
Real Rate Of Interest Money Supply D1 D2D2 Can a Change in
Money Supply Change AD? Probably but it is a chain of events. MS
changes, then Interest Rates, then chance in consumption and
investment. Then Change in AD

SRAS 1 AD 1 Unanticipated Increase in Aggregate Demand In response
to an unanticipated increase in AD for goods & services (shift
from AD 1 to AD 2 ), prices will rise to P 105 and output will
temporarily exceed full-employment capacity (increases to Y 2 ). P

of economic growth due to capital formation or a technological
advancement, for example. Both LRAS and SRAS increase (to LRAS 2
and SRAS 2 ); the full employment output of the economy expands
from Y F1 to Y F2. P 2 Growth in Aggregate Supply A sustainable,
higher level of real output and real income is the result. ***If
the money supply is held constant, a new long-run equilibrium will
emerge at a larger output rate (Y F2 ) and lower price level (P 2
).
Slide 36
LRAS G oods & S ervices (real GDP) P rice level AD Y F P
100 SRAS 1 (P r 1 ) A P 110 Y 2 The higher resource prices shift
the SRAS curve to the left; in the short-run, the price level rises
to P 110 and output falls to Y 2. What happens in the long-run
depends on whether the reduction in the supply of resources is
temporary or permanent. Effects of Adverse Supply Shock If
temporary, resource prices fall in the future, permitting the
economy to return to its original equilibrium (A). If permanent,
the productive potential of the economy will shrink (LRAS shifts to
the left) and (B) will become the long-run equilibrium. SRAS 2 (P r
