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 />
