For this chapter’s intro to the AD/AS model, we use a simple theory of aggregate demand based on the Quantity Theory of Money. Chapters 10-12 develop the theory of aggregate demand in more detail.CHAPTER 9CHAPTER 9 Introduction to Economic Fluctuations Introduction to Economic Fluctuationsslide 9The Quantity Equation as Agg. DemandThe Quantity Equation as Agg. DemandFrom Chapter 4, recall the quantity equationM V = P Y and the money demand function it implies:(M/P )d = k Ywhere V = 1/k = velocity.For given values of M and V, these equations imply an inverse relationship between P and Y:P = (M V) / YCHAPTER 9CHAPTER 9 Introduction to Economic Fluctuations Introduction to Economic Fluctuationsslide 10The downward-sloping The downward-sloping ADAD curve curveAn increase in the price level causes a fall in real money balances (M/P ),causing a decrease in the demand for goods & services.Y PADCHAPTER 9CHAPTER 9 Introduction to Economic Fluctuations Introduction to Economic Fluctuationsslide 11Shifting the Shifting the ADAD curve curveAn increase in the money supply shifts the AD curve to the right.
