AD: All (P,Y) such that
As P increases, M/P falls all goods and asset
Real balances fall, money markets are in equilibrium
demand > money supply, thus
r rises for all Y, LM shifts up Each point on AD is
P2>P1, so for higher P, Y is lower an IS-LM intersection 4
Why is the Aggregate Demand Curve Downward-
Sloping? Same reason as Micro?

Changes in the price level through AD-AS

To determine Y and P both uniquely we need
one more reln between P and Y

Policy Implication
• The tax cuts affected output a lot and inflation very little.

Price – Output Relation: AS
Ld = L (W/P)
An increase in the
expected price
level shifts the
aggregate supply
curve up
26
LRAS
Why LRAS is vertical at Y = Y ?
Beginning with SRAS relation
P LRAS Y Y (P P e )
Note that in the
long-run all
expectations are met
P Pe so that people would
end up having
realized price =
expected price.
Y Hence put P P e
Y in above. This leaves
us with Y = Y
