Aggregate Demand & Supply 1

Aggregate Demand & Supply 1

This framework is quite similar to a supply and demand framework, but with the following changes:
  • Downward sloping demand curve becomes aggregate demand curve
  • Upward sloping supply curve becomes aggregate supply curve
  • Instead of "price" on the Y-axis, we have "price-level".
  • Instead of "quantity" on the X-axis, we have "Real GDP", a measure of the size of the economy.
We will use the diagram below as a base case and show how events in the economy influence the price level and Real GDP.
