13_14:Aggregate Supply and Aggregate Demand What is the purpose of the aggregate supply-aggregate demand model? What determines aggregate supply and aggregate demand? This discussion follows nicely from the tutorial EIA I have included many extra slides to minimize the notes you will have to take. Plan to spend a lot of class time discussing the AS-AD model. Point out to students that they should not expect to understand all the details of the model after this chapter. Many of the underlying points will be made in future chapters. They should concentrate on developing an intuitive understanding of how the model works. Make the analogy between the microeconomic demand and supply curves and the AD and AS curves of this chapter.

The Aggregate Supply-Aggregate Demand Model The purpose of this model is: to help understand and predict fluctuations of real GDP around potential GDP to understand and predict fluctuations in the price level next slide is a copy taken from lecture 8

Fig. 5.2 (22.2) 21

Aggregate Supply The aggregate quantity of goods and services supplied is the sum of the quantities of final goods and services produced by all firms in the economy (real GDP). Aggregate supply is the relationship between the quantity of real GDP supplied and the price level.

Aggregate Supply The aggregate production function shows that the quantity of real GDP supplied is determined by the quantities of labor and capital and the state of technology.

Aggregate Supply Capital and technology are fixed at any point in time. However, labor is not fixed. Lower wages result in a greater quantity of labor demanded Higher wages result in a greater quantity of labor supplied

Aggregate Supply Full Employment Occurs at the wage rate that makes the quantity of labor demanded equal to the quantity of labor supplied

Aggregate Supply Natural Rate of Unemployment The unemployment rate that exists at full employment In 1997 it was about 5.5% It is probably much lower (e.g. 4%) today.

Aggregate Supply Potential GDP is the quantity of real GDP supplied when unemployment is at its natural rate and there is full employment.

Aggregate Supply Long-Run Aggregate Supply The macroeconomic long run is a time frame that is sufficiently long for forces that move real GDP toward potential GDP to have done their work so that full employment prevails.

Aggregate Supply Long-Run Aggregate Supply The long-run aggregate supply curve is the relationship between the quantity of real GDP supplied and the price level in the long run when real GDP equals potential GDP.

Two Time Frames for Aggregate Supply We distinguish two time frames for aggregate supply: Long-run aggregate supply Short-run aggregate supply

Aggregate Supply Long-Run Aggregate Supply Potential GDP is independent of the price level because the price level, wage rate, and other resource prices all change by the same percentage in the “long-run”.

Aggregate Supply Short-Run Aggregate Supply The macroeconomic short run is a period during which real GDP has fallen below or risen above potential GDP. The unemployment rate has risen above or fallen below the natural rate.

Aggregate Supply Short-Run Aggregate Supply The short-run aggregate supply curve is the relationship between the quantity of real GDP supplied and the price level in the short run when the money wage rate, other resource prices, and potential GDP remain constant.

Aggregate Supply Movements Along the LAS and SAS Curves When the price level rises, holding the money wage rate and other resource prices constant, the quantity of real GDP supplied increases and there is a movement along the SAS curve.

Aggregate Supply Changes in Aggregate Supply Occurs when influences on production other than the price level change

Aggregate Supply Potential GDP changes as a result of: 1) Changes in the full-employment quantity of labor 2) Changes in the quantity of capital 3) Advances in technology

Aggregate Demand Y = C + I + G + X – M The quantity of real GDP demanded is the sum of the real consumption expenditure (C), investment (I), government purchases (G), and exports (X) minus imports (M). Y = C + I + G + X – M

Aggregate Demand Aggregate demand is the relationship between the quantity of real GDP demanded and the general price level. Important: The aggregate demand schedule is not a relationship based upon the relative prices of goods such as apples and pears.

Aggregate Demand The two reasons the demand curve sloped downward are: 1) Wealth effect Changes in the price level, with other things remaining the same, change real wealth. People try to restore wealth by increasing saving and decreasing consumption.

Aggregate Demand The two reasons the demand curve sloped downward are: 2) Substitution effects People substitute future consumption for present consumption as a result of higher interest rates. A change in prices cause consumers to spend less on domestic items and more on imported items.

Aggregate Demand Changes in the Quantity of Real GDP Demanded When the price level changes, other things remaining the same, the quantity of real GDP demanded changes and there is movement along the aggregate demand curve.

Aggregate Demand Changes in Aggregate Demand A change in any factor than influences buying plans other than the price level

Aggregate Demand The factors that influence buying plans other than the price level and bring a change in aggregate demand are: 1) Expectations 2) Fiscal policy and monetary policy 3) The world economy

Aggregate Demand Expectations Expectations about future incomes, inflation and profits influence buying plans today.

Aggregate Demand Fiscal Policy and Monetary Policy Fiscal policy is the government’s attempt to influence the economy by setting and changing taxes, transfer payments, and government purchases.

Aggregate Demand Fiscal Policy and Monetary Policy These influence a household’s disposable income. Disposable income equals aggregate income minus taxes plus transfer payments.

Aggregate Demand Fiscal Policy and Monetary Policy Monetary policy consists of changes in interest rates and in the quantity of money in the economy.

Aggregate Demand The World Economy The exchange rate and foreign income affect aggregate demand.

Changes in Aggregate Demand Decreases if: Increases if: Monetary policy decreases the quantity of money and increases interest rates The exchange rate increases or foreign income decreases Monetary policy increases the quantity of money and decreases interest rates The exchange rate decreases or foreign income increases

Macroeconomic Equilibrium In the long run, the main influence on aggregate demand is the growth rate of the quantity of money. Real GDP fluctuates around potential GDP in a business cycle. Inflation fluctuates at the same time.

Macroeconomic Equilibrium Business Cycles Occur because aggregate demand and short-run aggregate supply fluctuate but the money wage rate does not adjust quickly enough to keep real GDP at potential GDP.

Macroeconomic Equilibrium Below Full-employment Equilibrium A macroeconomic equilibrium in which potential GDP exceeds real GDP The difference is called a recessionary gap.

Macroeconomic Equilibrium Long-Run Equilibrium Occurs when real GDP equals potential GDP.

Macroeconomic Equilibrium Above Full-employment Equilibrium A macroeconomic equilibrium in which real GDP exceeds potential GDP The difference is called a inflationary gap.

Macroeconomic Equilibrium An economy cannot produce in excess of potential forever. Workers begin to demand higher wages Eventually, wage rates rise by the same percentage as the price level.

Macroeconomic Equilibrium Fluctuations in Aggregate Supply Fluctuations in short-run aggregate supply can bring fluctuations in real GDP around potential GDP. A decrease in aggregate supply can lead to a recession and inflation — stagflation.
