Chapter preview
• To understand the effect of monetary policy on output and prices– Need to study how output and prices are
determined, i.e, the relationship between aggregate demand and aggregate supply
– Aggregate demand: total quantity, final goods and services, demanded @ different price levels
– Aggregate supply: total quantity, final goods and services, want to sell @ different price levels

Aggregate Demand Curve
• The relationship between – the quantity of aggregate output demanded
– the price level when all other variables are held constant.
• Aggregate demand is made up of four component parts:1. Consumer expenditure ( C )
2. Planned investment spending ( I )
3. Government spending (G )
4. Net export ( NX )

Aggregate Demand Curve (cont’ d)
• The fact that the aggregate demand curve is downward sloping can also be derived from the quantity theory of money analysis.
MV=PY
• If velocity stays constant, a constant money supply implies constant nominal aggregate spending, and a decrease in the price level is matched with an increase in aggregate demand.

Factors that Shift Aggregate Demand
• An increase in the money supply shifts AD to the right: holding velocity constant, an increase in the money supply increases the quantity of aggregate demand at each price level [quantity theory]
• An increase in spending from any of the components C, I, G, NX, will also shift AD to the right [component approach]

Factors that Shift Aggregate Demand
• Component approach implication:– Other factors (C, I, G, NX) as well as money
supply affect aggregate demand

Aggregate Supply Curve
• Long-run aggregate supply curve– Determined by 1 ) amount of capital ; 2 ) labor
supplied @ full employment ; 3 ) the available technology
– Vertical at the natural rate of output generated by the natural rate of unemployment
• Short-run aggregate supply curve– Wages and prices of materials are sticky in short run– upward sloping as firms attempt to take advantage
of short-run profitability when price level rises

Factors that Shift Short-Run Aggregate Supply
• Costs of production– Tightness of the labor market
– Expected inflation
– Higher wage push
– Change in production costs unrelated to wages (supply shocks)

Self-Correcting Mechanism
• Regardless of where output is initially, it returns eventually to the natural rate
• Slow– Wages are inflexible, particularly downward– Need for active government policy
• Rapid– Wages and prices are flexible– Less need for government intervention

Shifts in Long-Run Aggregate Supply
• Economic growth• Real business cycle theory
– Real supply shocks drive short-run fluctuations in the natural rate of output (shifts of LRAS)
– No need for government intervention
• Hysteresis– Departure from full employment levels as a result of past
high unemployment– Natural rate of unemployment shifts upward and natural
rate of output falls below full employment– Expansionary policy needed to shift aggregate demand

Conclusions
• Shift in aggregate demand affects output only in the short run and has no effect in the long run
• Shifts in aggregate demand affects only price level in the long run
• Shift in short run aggregate supply affects output and price only in the short run and has no effect in the long run (holding the aggregate demand constant)
• The economy has a self-correcting mechanism
