Q:
Why does the aggregate demand curve slope downward? Give at least three reasons and examples when addressing this question. Identify an event that would shift the AD curve and which direction the AD curve will shift.

Real balance effect (also known as real wealth effect or real money balances effect): It operates through consumption. As price level rises, purchasing power of money balances falls. As our real wealth falls, we will cut back on our consumption spending; hence autonomous consumption (Co) falls. This results in a decrease in AE and hence a decrease in real GDP. We can also picture this in terms of the IS-LM model. The fall in AE leading to a decrease in real GDP occurs at an assumed unchanged interest rate. This shifts the IS curve leftwards from IS(0) to IS(1). With an ...

The drop in AE leading to a loss of tangible GDP occurs at an assumed the same monthly attention. This shifts the IS contour leftwards from IS(0) to IS(1). With an the same upwards sloping LM contour, the drop in tangible GDP decreases transactions need for cash and hence total cash need (which comprises both transactions need and asset need components). This in turn decreases monthly attention (that is, a down activity along the LM curve). As monthly attention drops, we know that financial commitment investing will improve and hence AE and real GDP will improve (that is, a down activ ...
