<strong>Aggregate</strong> <strong>Dem<strong>and</strong></strong>–<br />
<strong>Aggregate</strong> Supply Model<br />
• The AD-ASAS model enables us to analyze<br />
changes in real GDP <strong>and</strong> the price level<br />
simultaneously.<br />
• The AD-AS model provides keen insights on<br />
inflation, recession, unemployment, <strong>and</strong><br />
economic growth.<br />
The <strong>Aggregate</strong> <strong>Dem<strong>and</strong></strong> – <strong>Aggregate</strong> Supply (AD-AS)<br />
model is the macroeconomic model that uses aggregate<br />
dem<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> aggregate supply to determine <strong>and</strong> explain the<br />
price level <strong>and</strong> the level of real domestic output.<br />

<strong>Aggregate</strong> <strong>Dem<strong>and</strong></strong> <strong>and</strong> the<br />
<strong>Aggregate</strong> <strong>Dem<strong>and</strong></strong> Curve<br />
• <strong>Aggregate</strong> dem<strong>and</strong><br />
curve is a schedule that<br />
shows the total quantity<br />
of goods <strong>and</strong> services<br />
dem<strong>and</strong>ed at different<br />
price levels.<br />
• There is an inverse<br />
relationship between the<br />
price level (as measured<br />
by the GDP price index)<br />
<strong>and</strong> real output<br />
dem<strong>and</strong>ed (real GDP).<br />

<strong>Aggregate</strong> Supply<br />
• <strong>Aggregate</strong> supply curve is a schedule that shows the<br />
total quantity of goods <strong>and</strong> services supplied at different<br />
price levels.<br />
• The aggregate supply curve in the short run <strong>and</strong> in the<br />
long run vary by the degree of wage adjustment<br />
• In the immediate short run, output <strong>and</strong> input prices are<br />
fixed, <strong>and</strong> the AS curve is horizontal<br />
• In the short run output prices are flexible while input prices<br />
are sticky, thus the AS curve is positively sloped<br />
• In the long run all prices are flexible, economy is at full<br />
employment (output is equal to potential), <strong>and</strong> the AS curve<br />
is vertical<br />

Equilibrium Price Level <strong>and</strong><br />
Real GDP<br />
• Equilibrium occurs at the price level that<br />
equalizes the amount of real output<br />
dem<strong>and</strong>ed <strong>and</strong> supplied.<br />
• The equilibrium point is the intersection<br />
of the aggregate dem<strong>and</strong> curve <strong>and</strong><br />
aggregate supply curve.<br />
• This intersection determines the<br />
equilibrium price level <strong>and</strong> equilibrium<br />
real output.<br />

Using the AD-AS Model to Explain<br />
Inflation <strong>and</strong> Recession<br />
• When aggregate supply <strong>and</strong> aggregate dem<strong>and</strong><br />
change, inflation <strong>and</strong> recession can occur in the<br />
short run.<br />
• <strong>Dem<strong>and</strong></strong>-pull inflation occurs when aggregate<br />
dem<strong>and</strong> increases (AD curve shifts to the right).<br />
• Cost-push inflation occurs when the costs of<br />
production rise (AS curve shifts to the left).<br />
• Recession occurs when aggregate dem<strong>and</strong> falls<br />
(AD curve shifts to the left) <strong>and</strong> prices are sticky<br />
downwards.<br />
