Chapter Outline • Aggregate Demand • Aggregate Supply • Shifts in Aggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply • Causes of Inflation • Supply-Side Economics McGrawHill/Irwin © 2002 The McGrawHill Companies, Inc., All Rights Reserved.
Aggregate Demand • Aggregate Demand: the amounts of real domestic output which domestic consumers, businesses, governments, and foreign buyers collectively will desire to purchase at each possible price level McGrawHill/Irwin © 2002 The McGrawHill Companies, Inc., All Rights Reserved.

Why Aggregate Demand is Downward Sloping • Real Balances Effect – Because higher prices reduce real spending power, prices and output are negatively related. • Foreign Purchases Effect – When domestic prices are high, we will export less to foreign buyers and we will import more from foreign producers. Therefore higher prices leads to less domestic output. • Interest Rate Effect – higher prices lead to inflation which leads to less borrowing and a lowering of RGDP McGrawHill/Irwin © 2002 The McGrawHill Companies, Inc., All Rights Reserved.
Aggregate Supply • Aggregate Supply: the level of real domestic output available at each possible price level McGrawHill/Irwin © 2002 The McGrawHill Companies, Inc., All Rights Reserved.

The Ranges of AS • Keynesian Range – Large amounts of unemployment make it so that increases in aggregate demand have no affect on wages or prices. • Classical Range – Full employment makes it so that increases in aggregate demand only increase wages or prices. • Intermediate Range – Some sectors of the economy reach full employment more quickly than others.
