Document Summary
Chapter23! output and prices in the short run! An increase in price reduces the real value of money(a fall in p raises the real value of money)! Changes in p also affect the wealth of bondholders and bond issuers. If p increases, the repayment to bondholders (lenders) is lower in real value. So bond issuers (borrowers) gain and lenders lose. An increase in p , reduces private-sector wealth and as a result: reduces desired consumption and shifts ae curve downwards ! Changes in p also affect net exports. higher domestic prices means domestic goods will be more expensive for the foreigners(and net exports fall). The aggregate demand (ad) curve relates equilibrium real gdp to the price level! For any given p, the ad curve shows the level of real gdp for which desired ae equals actual gdp (where ae curve and 450 line intersect).
