In economics, aggregate demand is the total demand for final goods and services in the economy (Y) at a given time and price level. It is the amount of goods and services in the economy that will be purchased at all possible price levels. This is the demand for the gross domestic product of a country when inventory levels are static. It is often called effective demand or abbreviated as 'AD'. It is often cited that the aggregate demand curve is downard sloping because at lower price levels a greater quantity is demanded. While this is correct at the microeconomic, single good level, at the aggregate level this is incorrect. The aggregate demand curve is in fact downard sloping as a result of three distinct effects; Pigou's wealth effect, the Keynes' interest rate effect and the Mundell-Fleming exchange-rate effect.

From Google Blog Search: "Aggregate demand" How might a country's Central Bank use monetary policy to stimulate domestic aggregate demand via exchange Q. How might a country's Central Bank use monetary policy to stimulate domestic aggregate demand via exchange rates? Asked by BU Chick - Thu Feb 7 14:09:24 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. It's not that simple really. But one tool used and I know you have been reading and hearing about this is the cut made on interest rate. Movement in interest rates affects the exchange rate, ergo any increase and decrease may or may not stimulate aggregate demand and one of the effect is exchange rate. On the consideration that exchange rate is floating not pegged. Answered by Economist (trying) - Thu Feb 7 21:20:18 2008 By how much would government spending have to increase to shift the aggregate demand curve rightward by $25 b? Q. "Assume that a hypothetical economy with an MPC of 0.8 is experiencing severe recession. By how much would government spending have to increase to shift the aggregate demand curve rightward by $25 billion? How large a tax cut would be needed to achieve this same increase in aggregate demand? Why the difference." Asked by t k - Sat Mar 15 08:32:22 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. MPC = 0.8 means the spending multiplier is 1/(1-mpc) = 1/ (1- 0.8) = 1/ 0.2 = 5 and the tax cut multiplier is mpc/ (1-mpc) = 0.8/ (1-0.8)= .8/.2= 4 So to get an increase in aggregate demand of $25 billion, increase in govt spending required is $ (25/5) = $5 billion. If the tax cut route is followed, to increase aggregate demand by $25 billion, a tax cut of $ (25/ 4)= $6.25 billion will be required. The difference is because in the first round itself a govt spending increase of $5 billion leads to an increase in aggregate demand by the Govt. by $5billion, where as when the tax cut of $ 5 billionis given, the taxpayers do not increase their aggregate demand by $6.25 billion, but only by $5 billion as they save (1-0.8)*6.25 = $1.25 billion… [cont.] Answered by 8^3release - Wed Mar 19 05:25:10 2008 When an economy is operating at high levels of output, an increase in aggregate demand will result in what? ?
Q. when an economy is operating at high levels of output, an increase in aggregate demand will result in what? Asked by classikz - Tue Aug 12 16:20:59 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Result will be higher than average increase in price level - because there in no productive capacity left - so only tool against shortages is higher prices. For highly opened economy it will mean sharp increase in imports, thus capital inflow, domestic currency appreciation, fall of export, and consequently trade deficit (increase in foreign debt). If economy is below potential then price level will rise much slower but employment will increase closer to natural rate.
