What you’ll learn to do: use the AD-AS model to explain the equilibrium levels of real GDP and price level
In this learning outcome, you will become an expert at understanding, defining, and applying the concepts of aggregate demand and aggregate supply.
The specific things you’ll learn in this section include:
- Define aggregate demand (AD) and explain the factors that cause it to change
- Define aggregate supply (AS) and explain the factors that cause it to change
- Use the AD-AS model to explain periods of recession, and expansion, demand-pull inflation and cost-push inflation
- Use the AD-AS model to explain periods of economic growth
