Aggregate Demand in the Goods and Money Markets

goods market The market in which goods and


services are exchanged and in which the
equilibrium level of aggregate output is
determined.
money market The market in which financial
instruments are exchanged and in which the
equilibrium level of the interest rate is determined.

Planned Investment and the Interest Rate

FIGURE 27.1 Planned Investment Schedule


Planned investment spending is a negative function of the interest rate.
An increase in the interest rate from 3 percent to 6 percent reduces planned investment from I0 to I1.

Planned Investment and the Interest Rate

CHAPTER 27 Aggregate Demand in the Goods and Money Markets

Other Determinants of Planned Investment


The assumption that planned investment depends
only on the interest rate is obviously a
simplification, just as is the assumption that
consumption depends only on income. In practice,
the decision of a firm on how much to invest
depends on, among other things, its expectation of
future sales.
The optimism or pessimism of entrepreneurs about
the future course of the economy can have an
important effect on current planned investment.
Keynes used the phrase animal spirits to describe
the feelings of entrepreneurs, and he argued that
these feelings affect investment decisions.

Planned Investment and the Interest Rate

CHAPTER 27 Aggregate Demand in the Goods and Money Markets

Planned Aggregate Expenditure and the Interest Rate


We can use the fact that planned investment
depends on the interest rate to consider how
planned aggregate expenditure (AE) depends on
the interest rate.
Recall that planned aggregate expenditure is the
sum of consumption, planned investment, and
government purchases.
AE C + I + G

FIGURE 27.2 The Effect of an Interest Rate Increase on Planned Aggregate Expenditure

An increase in the interest rate from 3 percent to 6 percent lowers planned aggregate
expenditure and thus reduces equilibrium income from Y0 to Y1.

Planned Investment and the Interest Rate

CHAPTER 27 Aggregate Demand in the Goods and Money Markets

Planned Aggregate Expenditure and the Interest Rate

The effects of a change in the interest rate include:


A high interest rate (r) discourages planned
investment (I).
Planned investment is a part of planned
aggregate expenditure (AE).
Thus, when the interest rate rises, planned
aggregate expenditure (AE) at every level of
income falls.
Finally, a decrease in planned aggregate
expenditure lowers equilibrium output (income)
(Y) by a multiple of the initial decrease in
planned investment.

CHAPTER 27 Aggregate Demand in the Goods and Money Markets

Equilibrium in Both the Goods and Money Markets

An increase in the interest rate (r) decreases output


(Y) in the goods market because an increase in r
lowers planned investment.
When income (Y) increase, this shifts the money
demand curve to the right, which increases the
interest rate (r) with a fixed money supply. We can
thus write:

Y M d r
Y M r
d

interest sensitivity or insensitivity of planned
investment The responsiveness of planned
investment spending to changes in the interest
rate. Interest sensitivity means that planned
investment spending changes a great deal in
response to changes in the interest rate; interest
insensitivity means little or no change in planned
investment as a result of changes in the interest
rate.

The Aggregate Demand (AD) Curve

CHAPTER 27 Aggregate Demand in the Goods and Money Markets

The Aggregate Demand Curve: A Warning


It is important that you realize what the aggregate
demand curve represents.
The aggregate demand curve is more complex
than a simple individual or market demand curve.
The AD curve is not a market demand curve, and
it is not the sum of all market demand curves in the
economy.
To understand what the aggregate demand curve
represents, you must understand the interaction
between the goods market and the money
markets.

The Aggregate Demand (AD) Curve

CHAPTER 27 Aggregate Demand in the Goods and Money Markets

Other Reasons for a Downward-Sloping Aggregate Demand Curve


The Consumption Link
The consumption link provides another reason for
the AD curves downward slope.
An increase in the price level increases the
demand for money, which leads to an increase in
the interest rate, which leads to a decrease in
consumption (as well as planned investment),
which leads to a decrease in aggregate output
(income).

The Aggregate Demand (AD) Curve

CHAPTER 27 Aggregate Demand in the Goods and Money Markets

Other Reasons for a Downward-Sloping Aggregate Demand Curve


The Consumption Link
The initial decrease in consumption (brought about
by the increase in the interest rate) contributes to
the overall decrease in output.
Planned investment does not bear all the burden
of providing the link from a higher interest rate to a
lower level of aggregate output.
Decreased consumption brought about by a higher
interest rate also contributes to this effect.

wealth that results from a change in the price level.

CHAPTER 27 Aggregate Demand in the Goods and Money Markets

Shifts of the Aggregate Demand Curve

FIGURE 27.7 The Effect of an


Increase in Money Supply on the AD
Curve
An increase in the money supply (Ms)
causes the aggregate demand curve
to shift to the right, from AD0 to AD1.
This shift occurs because the increase
in Ms lowers the interest rate, which
increases planned investment (and
thus planned aggregate expenditure).
The final result is an increase in output
at each possible price level.

Shifts of the Aggregate Demand Curve

FIGURE 27.8 The Effect of an


Increase in Government Purchases or
a Decrease in Net Taxes on the AD
Curve
An increase in government purchases
(G) or a decrease in net taxes (T)
causes the aggregate demand curve
to shift to the right, from AD0 to AD1.
The increase in G increases planned
aggregate expenditure, which leads to
an increase in output at each possible
price level. A decrease in T causes
consumption to rise. The higher
consumption then increases planned
aggregate expenditure, which leads to
an increase in output at each possible
price level.
