1 10 Demand and Supply 10-1 Chapter Objectives Demand and the Factors That Cause it to Change. Supply and the Factors That Cause it to Change. How AD and AS Determine an Economy s and the Level of Real GDP. How the AD-AS Model Explains Periods of Demand-Pull Inflation, Cost-Push Inflation, and Recession AD AS Model Demand- Supply Model (AD-AS Model). Demand. demand is a schedule or curve that shows the various amounts of real domestic output that domestic and foreign buyers will desire to purchase at each possible price level. Why the Downward Slope? Real-Balances Effect. Interest-Rate Effect. Foreign Purchases Effect

2 AD AS Model Real balances effect: When price level falls, the purchasing power of existing financial balances rises, which can increase spending. Interest rate effect: A decline in price level means lower interest rates that can increase levels of certain types of spending. Foreign purchases effect: When price level falls, other things being equal, U.S. prices will fall relative to foreign prices, which will tend to increase spending on U.S. exports and also decrease import spending in favor of U.S. products that compete with imports AD AS Model Demand Curve Demand AD 10-5 Changes in Demand Determinants of Demand and Multiplier Effect. Changes in: Consumer Spending. Consumer Wealth. Consumer Expectations. Household Debt. Personal Taxes. Investment Spending. Real Interest Rates

Exchange Rates Changes in Demand Changes in Demand Curve Increase in Demand Decrease in Demand AD 3 AD Supply supply is a schedule or curve showing the level of real domestic output available at each possible price level. supply in the long run: In the long run the aggregate supply curve is vertical at the economy s full-employment output. The curve is vertical because in the long run resources prices adjust to changes in the price level, leaving no incentive for firms to change their output

4 Supply Supply in the Long Run AS LR Long Run Supply Supply supply in the short run: The short run aggregate supply curve is upward sloping. The lag between product prices and resource prices makes it profitable for firms to increase output when the price level rises Supply Supply in the Short Run Per-Unit Total Input Cost Production Cost = Units of Output Supply (Short Run) Q f 4

5 Changes in Supply Determinants of Supply. Changes in: Input Prices. Domestic Resource Prices. Prices of Imported Resources. Market Power. Productivity. Legal-Institutional Environment. Business Taxes and Subsidies.
