  1. Chapter 4 Skating to Where the Puck is Going Aggregate Supply and Aggregate Demand

  2. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Aggregate Supply and supply shocks Aggregate Demand and a list demand shock Use matches and mismatches between aggregate supply and aggregate demand to explain the “Yes” and “No” answers to the fundamental macroeconomic question “Yes” and “No” answers about origins, expectations, and market responses to business cycles continued…

  3. IF YOU PLAN AND BUILD IT . . . AGGREGATE SUPPLY Supply plans for existing inputs determine aggregate quantity supplied. Supply plans to increase quantity and quality of inputs, together with supply shocks, change aggregate supply.

  5. AGGREGATE SUPPLY (AS) Macroeconomic players consumers, businesses, government make two kinds of plans for supplying Canadian real GDP a) supply plans for existing inputs b) supply plans to increase inputs

  6. a) Supply plans for existing inputs similar to microeconomic choices about quantity supplied Aggregate quantity suppliedquantity of real GDP players plan to supply at different average price levels Law of aggregate supplyas average level of prices rises, aggregate quantity supplied increases (up to maximum of potential GDP) b) Supply plans to increase quantity or quality of inputs cause increase in aggregate supply — increase in economy’s capacity to produce real GDP

  7. Negative supply shocks directly increase costs or reduce inputs, decreasing aggregate supply Positive supply shocks directly decrease costs or improve productivity, increasing aggregate supply

  9. . . . WILL THEY COME AND BUY IT? AGGREGATE DEMAND Demand plans determine aggregate quantity demanded. Demand shocks — from changes in expectations, interest rates, government policy, GDP in R.O.W., exchange rates — change aggregate demand.

  10. AGGREGATE DEMAND (AD) All macroeconomic players — consumers, businesses, government, R.O.W.make demand plans for spending, like microeconomic choices about quantity demanded Aggregate quantity demandedquantity of real GDP players plan to demand at different average price levels Law of aggregate demandas average level of prices rises, aggregate quantity demanded decreases

  11. Consumers plans to spend (C) a fraction of disposable income Businesses plan investment spending (I)for new factories and equipment. Iplans are volatile. Government spending plans (G) for products/services set by budget R.O.W. spending plans (X) for Canadian exports  subtract imports (IM) from all other planned spending to get net exports (X — IM) = difference between what Canada exports and imports

  12. Planned spending on aggregate demand = planned C + planned I + planned G + planned (X −IM) Demand shocksfactors, other than average prices, changing aggregate demand Aggregate demand changes with expectations, interest rates, government policy, GDP in R.O.W., exchange rates

  13. Negative demand shocks decrease aggregate demand more pessimistic expectations higher interest rates lower government spending and/or higher taxes decreased GDP in R.O.W. higher value Canadian dollar Positive demand shocks increase aggregate demand more optimistic expectations lower interest rates higher government spending and/or lower taxes increased GDP in R.O.W. lower value Canadian dollar

  14. MATCH OR MISMATCH? AGGREGATE SUPPLY & AGGREGATE DEMAND “Yes” “No” Matches between aggregate supply and aggregate demand give equilibrium, Say’s Law, and “Yes” answer; mismatches give Keynes’s business cycles, demand and supply shocks, and “No” answer.

  15. AGGREGATE SUPPLY & AGGREGATE DEMAND “Yes” answermacroeconomic equilibrium with existing inputs when aggregate demand matchesaggregate supply AS choices based on expectations of what price level and aggregate demand will be when products/services get to market price level and AD what suppliers expected Real GDP = potential GDP; inputs fully employed Say’s Law — supply creates its own demand continued…

  16. “Yes” answerequilibrium over time with increasing inputs when aggregate demand matchesaggregate supply add savings and investment to explain growth in living standards over time (real GDP per person) savings threaten Say’s Law, since all income in input markets not spent demanding products/services in output markets continued…

  17. Market for loanable fundsbanks coordinate supply of loanable funds (savings) with demand for loanable funds (borrowing) interest rate is price of loanable funds if banks loan savings to businesses that use it for investment spending, offsets consumer savings, restoring equality between aggregate income and aggregate spending Investment spending increases inputs, so potential GDP and real GDP per person increase over time aggregate supply and aggregate demand both increase, full employment continues, average prices stay stable

  18. “No” answermismatchbetween aggregate demand and aggregate supply aggregate supply choices based on expectations of what price level and aggregate demand will be when products/services get to market expectations disappointed,outcomes do not work out as planned adjustments — expansions and contractions — necessary to get back to smart choices Keynes’s business cycles

  19. Mismatch scenarios from demand shocks negative demand shock causes recessionary gap — falling average prices, decreased real GDP, increased unemployment positive demand shock causes inflationary gap —rising average prices increased real GDP, decreased unemployment demand shocks cause unemployment and inflation to move in opposite directions, like Philips Curve

  20. Mismatch scenarios from supply shocks negative supply shock causes stagflation —rising average prices, decreased real GDP, increased unemployment positive supply shock causes falling average prices, increased real GDP, decreased unemployment supply shocks cause unemployment and inflation to move in same direction

  21. “Yes” and “No” camps agree on descriptions of equilibrium and impact of demand and supply shocks disagree on origins of shocks and how quickly markets adjust

  22. SHOCKING STARTS AND FINISHES: ORIGINS AND RESPONSES TO BUSINESS CYCLES “Yes” and “No” camps disagree about external/internal origins of shocks, about rational/volatile expectations, and about how quickly price adjustmentsrestore match between aggregate supply and demand.

  23. “Yes” campmarkets quickly self-adjust, so hands-off origins of shocks external to economy — nature, science, mistaken government policies government part of problem, not solution rational expectations and logical choices ORIGINS AND RESPONSES TO BUSINESS CYCLES

  24. For “Yes” camp, when shocks occur, price adjustments in all markets quickly restore match between aggregate supply and aggregate demand — example of negative demand shock in labour market, unemployment causes wages to fall, increasing hiring back to full employment in output markets, prices fall due to surpluses and falling wage costs, increasing sales back to potential GDP

  25. in international trade market, falling Canadian prices increase net exports, increasing Canadian real GDP and decreasing unemployment in loanable funds market, savings cause interest rates to fall, increasing investment spending (I), increasing Canadian real GDP and decreasing unemployment

  26. “No” campmarkets fail to quickly self-adjust, so hands-on origins of shocks internal to economy — changing expectations, role of money, connections with R.O.W. volatile expectations based on fundamental uncertainty about future facing uncertainty, saving decisions are internal negative demand shock business cycles in other economies affect Canada through exports and imports

  27. For “No” camp, when shocks occur, difficult adjustments in all markets — example of negative demand shock in labourmarket, wages sticky even with unemployment —layoffs instead of lower wages in output markets, prices fall due to surpluses, but falling incomes from unemployment in input markets decrease consumption demand (C) in international trade market, falling Canadian prices increase net exports, but destabilizing effects of cycles in R.O.W.

  28. in loanable funds market,even if interest rates fall, pessimistic expectations may cause investment spending (I) to decrease with weak/slow price adjustments, role for government to bring aggregate supply and aggregate demand back into balance

  29. Disagreement between “Yes” and “No” camps on connections between input markets and output markets for both demand and supply sides connections between Canada and R.O.W. connections between money/banks/expectations and input and output markets
