Do foreign purchases hurt the aggregate demand curve when the dollar is worth less?
Q. Since the value of a dollar has fallen against other currencies, our goods will be cheaper to foreign countries but still be the same for US citizens. Because of this, foreigners demand more American aggregate output. Will this make the aggregate demand curve move up or down?

A. Aggregate Demand consists of Consumption+Investment+Go vernment Spending+Net exports, as you know. When the value of U.S currency goes down, exports will increase as you said, and imports goes down, which means americans will consume more american goods. So, AD curve shifts right.

A. Marginal Propensity to Consume is 2/3. A tax cut will increase aggregate demand by $100 billion initially. However, people will save (1/3) of the money, and so the multiplied shift is $100 billion multiplied by (2/3)

A. a. A widespread fear of depression on the part of consumers. As consumers fear a depression, they will save more out of precaution. Hence, aggregate demand will decrease. b. A large purchase of US wheat by Russia. The increase in demand will incrase prices for wheat in the U.S., which will make wheat production more attractive to U.S. farmers. Hence, aggregate supply will increase. c. A $1 increase in the excise tax on cigarettes. It has been shown that higher prices for cigarettes discourage smoking. Every 10 percent increase in the price of cigarettes reduced youth smoking by about seven percent and overall cigarette consumption by about four percent. Hence, aggregate demand for cigarettes will decrease. d. A reduction in interest… [cont.]

A. Isn't the macro-economy so much fun! (or not) A. Left-ward shift of AD curve only. Greater household saving means less household consumption at every price level so the whole AD curve shifts to the left. B. Neither. The AD-AS-LRAS model doesn't reflect sector specific shocks. C. Left-ward shift of AD and AS curves. More people moving abroad means fewer households to drive consumer spending so AD shifts to the left. People moving abroad also means wages must rise here to encourage some workers to stay. This drives up the cost of production so the AS curve shifts to the left.

Asked by eternalgrace02 - Sat Apr 26 11:30:39 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The initial effect of an increase in aggregate demand is to reduce the ratio of supply to demand and this raises the price untill the two balance again. However once the prices are growing, the effect on the supply is to stimulate it so that the above effect of the increased demand is eventually satisfied by almost the same price. Now you are asking not about prices but about long-term GDP or quantities of goods when multiplied by their long-term prices. The quantity will have grown by a lot and the prices by a small fraction (all other things being assumed not to have changes). So with demand rise so too will the long-term GDP. The point I should also be making is that the aggregate demand (about which your question is based)… [cont.]

A. the cost of something relative to your buying power. price level is like price, but accounting for inflation. i.e. if your wages goes up as the same rate as the price of stuff, then your buying power doesn't change so price levels remain the same. If your wages goes up faster than the inflated price of goods, you have higher buying power. Although the price level does not change, you can afford more. If price level goes up faster than your wages, you are technically poorer than you used to be. e.g. I get 1 every month. Suppose I buy 5 gallons of petrol for 1 every month at 20p per gallon. Now suppose the price of petrol went up by 10% but my wages only went up by 5%... I have 1.05 per month but the cost of 5 gallons of petrol… [cont.]

A. Historically deflation is correlated with GDP, that is GDP falls. The theory that predicts that in will increase aggregate demand assume wages remain constant, but that is not true in most the period we have experienced deflation. In fact deflation is considered so harmful to the economy that it a major objective of monetary policy to prevent deflation.

A. The answer is D. Here is why: The setup of the problem assumes that we are producing just enough to fill the current aggregate demand. Now if demand increases, it will outpace supply. This will cause the price of goods to rise. While supply is racing to catch up, there will be less unemployment while producers struggle to make more goods to meet the increased demand.

A. It doesn't. Keynesian economics is only concerned with maintaining short term growth. Essentially, it is organized around managing the economy for the next election cycle. When confronted with questions like these Keynes himself would say: "In the long run, we're all dead." In order for sustainable economic progress to occur, production must drive the economy. Say's Law remains in effect no matter how much the Keynesians try to refute it. All the advanced mathematics in the world can't make up for the flawed premises of John Maynard Keynes.

Asked by honeybee - Wed May 5 23:58:44 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You're right about the decrease in price level and consumption. But it is because of the shift of aggregate demand curve to the left will cause a shift of the LM curve to the right. It cause a lower interest rate and an increase in money supply. Your $100 bill can buy more things because of lower price. That means an increase in money supply.And an increase in money supply causes the interest rate to decrease. A lower interest rate stimulates investment.
