The AS-AD ModelEcon 302 Slide #1 The AS-AD Model Requires equilibrium in the goods, financial, and labor markets Aggregate supply focuses on equilibrium in the labor market Aggregate demand focuses on equilibrium in the goods and financial markets
The AS-AD ModelEcon 302 Slide #2 Aggregate Supply Captures the effects of output on the price level It is derived from equilibrium in the labor market
The AS-AD ModelEcon 302 Slide #3 The Determination of Aggregate Supply Aggregate Supply The nominal wage (W) = P e F(u,z) Price level (P) = (1+ )W P = P e (1+ ) F (u,z)
The AS-AD ModelEcon 302 Slide #4 According to: Aggregate Supply P = P e (1+ ) F (u,z) The price level (P) is a function of: P e : The expected price level u:The unemployment rate
The AS-AD ModelEcon 302 Slide #5 The price level as a function of output instead of the unemployment rate Aggregate Supply
The AS-AD ModelEcon 302 Slide #6 Aggregate Supply-The price level as a function of output instead of the unemployment rate Observations 1.A higher expected price level leads, one for one, to a higher actual price level. 2.An increase in output leads to an increase in the price level.
The AS-AD ModelEcon 302 Slide #7 Aggregate Supply Higher P e higher P P e W P W=P e F(u,z) (P e W ) P=(1+µ)W (W P )
The AS-AD ModelEcon 302 Slide #8 Aggregate Supply Higher Output higher P Y u W P Y=N (Y N )
The AS-AD ModelEcon 302 Slide #9 Aggregate Supply Higher Output higher P W=P e F(u,z) (u W ) P=(1+u)W (W P )
The AS-AD ModelEcon 302 Slide #10 AS Aggregate Supply Output, Y Price Level, P YnYn PePe Graphically : P > P e P < P e A Two characteristics : 1. Given P e an increase in Y increases P 2. At A: Y = Yn & P = P e Observation: Y > Y n then P > P e Y < Y n then P < P e
