Output Growth and the Long-Run Aggregate Supply Curve
• Aggregate Supply
The total of all planned production for the economy
![Page 5: Chapter 10 Real GDP and the Price Level in the Long Run](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649d6b5503460f94a4a718/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Output Growth and the Long-Run Aggregate Supply Curve (cont'd)
• Long-Run Aggregate Supply Curve
A vertical line representing the real output of goods and services after full adjustment has occurred
It represents the real GDP of the economy under conditions of full employment; the economy is on its production possibilities curve

Output Growth and the Long-Run Aggregate Supply Curve (cont'd)
• Growth is shown by outward shifts of either the production possibilities curve or the LRAS curve caused by
Growth of population
Growth in labor-force participation rate
Capital accumulation
Improvements in technology
Increase in resource base

Total Expenditures and Aggregate Demand
• Aggregate Demand
The total of all planned expenditures in the entire economy
![Page 10: Chapter 10 Real GDP and the Price Level in the Long Run](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649d6b5503460f94a4a718/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Total Expenditures and Aggregate Demand (cont'd)
• Questions
What determines the total amount that individuals, governments, firms, and foreigners want to spend?
What determines the equilibrium price level?

The Aggregate Demand Curve
• Aggregate Demand Curve
A curve showing planned purchase rates for all final goods and services in the economy at various price levels, all other things held constant
![Page 12: Chapter 10 Real GDP and the Price Level in the Long Run](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649d6b5503460f94a4a718/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Figure 10-4 The Aggregate Demand Curve
As the price level rises, real GDP declines

The Aggregate Demand Curve (cont'd)
• What happens when the price level changes? The real-balance effect (or wealth effect)
The interest rate effect
The open economy effect
![Page 14: Chapter 10 Real GDP and the Price Level in the Long Run](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649d6b5503460f94a4a718/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

The Aggregate Demand Curve (cont'd)
• The Real-Balance Effect(The Wealth Effect)
Purchasing Power of cash balances
![Page 15: Chapter 10 Real GDP and the Price Level in the Long Run](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649d6b5503460f94a4a718/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

The Aggregate Demand Curve (cont'd)
• The Interest Rate Effect
Lower price levels indirectly decrease the interest rate, which in turn causes an increase in borrowing and spending.
↓ Price level ↓ demand for loans ↓ i-rate
↓ Price Level ↓ i-rate ↑ Investment
↑ Consumption
![Page 16: Chapter 10 Real GDP and the Price Level in the Long Run](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649d6b5503460f94a4a718/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

The Aggregate Demand Curve (cont'd)
• The Open Economy Effect
Higher price levels result in foreigners’ desiring to buy fewer American-made goods while Americans desire more foreign-made goods (i.e., net exports fall).
↑ P-level ↓ goods purchased
![Page 17: Chapter 10 Real GDP and the Price Level in the Long Run](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649d6b5503460f94a4a718/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Aggregate Demand versus Demand for a Single Good
• When the aggregate demand curve is derived, we are looking at the entire circular flow of income and product.
• When a demand curve is derived, we are looking at a single product in one market only.
![Page 18: Chapter 10 Real GDP and the Price Level in the Long Run](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649d6b5503460f94a4a718/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Shifts in the Aggregate Demand Curve
• Any non-price-level change that increases aggregate spending (on domestic goods) shifts AD to the right.
• Any non-price-level change that decreases aggregate spending (on domestic goods) shifts AD to the left.

Long-Run Equilibrium and the Price Level
• For the economy as a whole, long-run equilibrium occurs at the price level where the aggregate demand curve (AD) crosses the long-run aggregate supply curve (LRAS).
• Equilibrium = Stability

Long-Run Equilibrium and the Price Level (cont'd)
• The effects of economic growth on the price level
Economic growth and secular deflation
![Page 25: Chapter 10 Real GDP and the Price Level in the Long Run](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649d6b5503460f94a4a718/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Long-Run Equilibrium and the Price Level (cont'd)
• Secular Deflation
A persistent decline in prices resulting from economic growth in the presence of stable aggregate demand
![Page 26: Chapter 10 Real GDP and the Price Level in the Long Run](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649d6b5503460f94a4a718/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Secular Deflation versus Long-Run Price Stability in a Growing Economy
• Secular deflation An increase in LRAS will, ceteris paribus, result in
a decrease in the price level.
• Avoiding secular deflation If the AD curve shifts outward by the same
amount as the LRAS curve, the price level remains constant.
The AD curve can be shifted outward by increasing the money supply.

International Example: Deflation is the Norm in Japan
• Since 1998, Japan’s real GDP has increased every year except 2002.
• As the LRAS curve shifted rightward, the price level gradually declined.
• Consequently Japan experienced deflation.

Secular Inflation
• A persistent rise in prices resulting from Aggregate Demand (AD) increasing faster that aggregate supply
![Page 31: Chapter 10 Real GDP and the Price Level in the Long Run](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649d6b5503460f94a4a718/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

• When LRAS1 shifts to LRAS2, the price level rises from 120 to 140
• Inflation is caused by a decrease in LRAS
Supply Side Inflation

Demand Side Inflation
An increase in AD from AD1 to AD2 causes the price level to rise from 120 to 140, and an increase in AD causes inflation
