The aggregate demand curve (AD) is the total demand in the economy for goods at different price levels. AD = C + I + G + X – M If there is a fall in the price level, there is a movement along the AD curve because with goods cheaper – effectively, consumers have more …
Readers Question: What are the effects of increased investment on aggregate demand in the short term and the long term. Investment means capital expenditure (e.g. purchasing machines or building bigger factory) Investment is a component of AD – AD+ C+I+G+X-M. Investment spending takes about 15% of AD; it is not as significant as consumer spending …
Aggregate demand (AD) is the total demand for goods and services produced within the economy over a period of time. Aggregate demand (AD) is composed of various components. AD = C+I+G+ (X-M) C = Consumer expenditure on goods and services. I = Gross capital investment – i.e. investment spending on capital goods e.g. factories and …
Aggregate Demand is the total demand in the economy. AD = C + I + G + (X-M) C= Consumer spending (Household consumption) I = Investment (gross fixed capital formation) G= Government spending (Government investment and Government consumption) X-M = Net Exports (exports – imports). Components of Aggregate Demand A graph showing components of AD …

Evaluate the importance of managing aggregate demand (AD) to bring about a sustained reduction in the rate of unemployment in the UK economy. In 1992 Unemployment in the UK rose to 3 million. A significant part of this unemployment this was due to the recession of 1992. In a recession, demand deficient unemployment will increase. …
Demand-pull inflation is a period of inflation which arises from rapid growth in aggregate demand. It occurs when economic growth is too fast. If aggregate demand (AD) rises faster than productive capacity (LRAS), then firms will respond by putting up prices, creating inflation. Inflation – a sustained increase in the price level. Demand-pull inflation – …
The aggregate supply curve shows the total supply in an economy at different price levels. Generally, the aggregate supply curve slopes upwards – a higher price level encourages firms to supply more. However, there are different possible slopes for the aggregate supply curve. It could be highly inelastic (vertical) to very elastic. It is important …
