refers to the whole economy refers to a single market (e.g.
market for oranges)
x-axis: Real GDP x-axis: Quantity of oranges
y-axis: Price level y-axis: Price of oranges
12 AD = C + I + G + (X-M)
C = Consumption / I = Investment / G = Government spending /
X = Exports / M = Imports
13 Changes in AD

Some input prices (e.g. wages) are fixed. All input prices have changed.

23 Changes in AS
rGDP rGDP
If PL falls, then rGDP falls, too. Change input factors:
If PL rises, then rGDP rises, too. 1 Increase in AS (e.g. higher productivity)
(ceteris paribus in both cases) 2 Decrease in AS (e.g. less capital)
31 Equilibrium in general
A macroeconomic equilibrium exists where rGDP demanded equals rGDP supplied. At this
point, both rGDP and price level are determined.
