The aggregate supply (AS) and aggregate demand (AD) model describe the condition of the overall economy; this model is used to predict changes in the price level and output from external shocks to the economy and various government policies.

Please describe what the aggregate supply and aggregate demand curves represent; explain what accounts for their shape (i.e., downward sloping AD and upward sloping AD); and give examples of at least two factors each that might result in a shift in AD and AS.

Determine the effect on either the aggregate demand curve (is it a rightward or a leftward shift?), the aggregate short-term supply curve, and the long-term aggregate supply curve (does the upward sloping portions of the SAS curve shift left or right, or does the vertical portion of the LAS curve shift to the right or the left?). Also determine the effect on the price level, the real output level, and employment/unemployment. Explain and express this graphically using the AS/AD macro model.



In the summer of 1953, the Korean War ended and government expenditures decreased. In terms of the AS-AD model, this change should have shifted the AD curve to the left. A cut in government spending reduces economic activity and shifts the AD curve to the left.

What are some of the factors that would shift the aggregate demand and supply curves. Given your answer, how would an increase in consumer wealth affect the overall US economy using the AS/AD model?

1. Russia has experienced hyperinflation in the 1990s. Other things equal, the expectations by Russians of worsening inflation in the future would probably shift the AD curve to the right.
