3.1 Foundation of theory of
aggregate demand
Of all the economic fluctuations in world history, the
one that stands out as particularly large, painful, and
intellectually significant is the Great Depression of the
1930s.
The Great Depression caused many economists to
question the validity of classical economic theory.
They believed they needed a new model to explain such
a pervasive economic downturn and to suggest that
government policies might ease some of the economic
hardship that society was experiencing.
slide 1
In 1936, John Maynard Keynes wrote The General Theory of
Employment, Interest and Money.
In it, he proposed a new way to analyze the economy, which he
presented as an alternative to the classical theory.
His vision of how the economy works quickly became a center
of controversy.
Yet, as economists debated The General Theory, a new
understanding of economic fluctuations gradually developed.
slide 2
Keynes proposed that low aggregate demand is responsible
for the low income and high unemployment that characterize
economic downturns.
He criticized the notion that aggregate supply-capital, labor,
and technology alone determines national income.
Economists today reconcile these two views with the model
of aggregate demand and aggregate supply.
slide 3
In the long run, prices are flexible, and aggregate supply
determines income. But in the short run, prices are sticky, so
changes in aggregate demand influence income.
The model of aggregate demand called the IS(Investment-
saving)–LM(liquidity-money) model, is the leading
interpretation of Keynes’s theory.
The goal of the model is to show what determines national
income for any given price level.

Aggregate Demand Analysis in
Goods Market(IS curve)
Components of Aggregate Demand
1 , Consumption :- Households decides how much
to spend on goods and services and save
depend on their income after tax (disposable
income). That is consumption spending of
individuals depends on their real personal
disposable income (Y-T).
Households save great proportion of their
income if their real income increases more than
increase in consumption.
slide 6
C = a + b (Y-T), 0<b<1 a>0-
„b‟ represent marginal propensity to consume,
a’ represents autonomous consumptions
T- Tax revenue
T is an exogenous variable and is not determine
with in the model we will just assume some
number outside the model .

Investment
slide 8
Cont..
I=I(r)
If interest rate increases, cost of investment
increase so that the investment becomes less
profitable and these would cause decline in the
quantity of investment demand.
Government spending (G)
Government spending (G) represents public
sector‟s demand for goods and services.
slide 9
.
Government spending is assumed to be
determined by the government independently of
the state of macroeconomic. It is exogenous
and denoted by G.
Foreign spending –Net export (NX)
Net export (NX) is the final component of aggregate
demand which represent demand for domestic goods
and services by the rest of the world. The home country
will sell goods to foreign residents which are called
export, denoted by X. While some of domestic income
will be spent on foreign products. These goods are
called imports, denoted by M.

Keynesian cross
In general theory propose that an economy total
income was in short run , determined largely by
the desire to spend house holds firms and Gov‟t.
The more peoples want to spend , the more goods and
services firms can sell . The more firms can sell the more
output they will choose to produce and the more worker
to hire thuse the problem during recession and
depression .
slide 12
Keynesian
. cross model on the built from the
concept of planned and actual expenditure. So
we have to define these concepts before they
are used to construct the model.
Actual expenditure is the amount households,
firms and government spend on goods and
services. It is equal to GDP of an economy (Y).
Planned expenditure is the amount
households, firms and government would like to
spend on goods and services. This implies
planned expenditure is the same as aggregate
demand of closed economy
slide 13
The.income expenditure relationship (also called
the Keynesian cross model) is the first step to
deriving the interest rate/income relationship. It
relates planned expenditure (E) to actual
expenditure.
actual expenditure equals income (Y ), because
any unsold goods are defined as inventory
investment, but planned expenditure may not
equal income. For example, firms and
households may purchase more goods and
services than are produced in a year, so that
inventories are run down.
slide 14
Elements of The Keynesian Cross
A simple closed economy model in which income is
determined by expenditure. ( J.M. Keynes)
Notation:
I = planned investment
E = C + I + G = planned expenditure
Y = real GDP = actual expenditure
Difference between actual & planned expenditure =
unplanned inventory investment

…is negative:

which reduces income.
…is greater than one
(in absolute value):
A change in taxes has a
multiplier effect on income.
…is smaller than the govt spending multiplier:
Consumers save the fraction (1 – MPC) of a tax cut,
so the initial boost in spending from a tax cut is
smaller than from an equal increase in G.

Why the IS curve is negatively
sloped
A fall in the interest rate motivates firms to
increase investment spending, which drives up
total planned spending (E ).
To restore equilibrium in the goods market,
output (actual expenditure, Y )
must increase.

slide 32
This slide has two purposes. First, to show which
way the IS curve shifts when G changes. Second, to
actually measure the distance of the shift.
We can measure either the horizontal or vertical
distance of the shift. The horizontal distance of the
IS curve shift is the change in Y required to restore
goods market equilibrium AT THE INITIAL
INTEREST RATE when G is raised.
slide 33
Since the interest rate is unchanged at r1,
investment will also be unchanged.
This is why, in the upper panel, we write “I(r1)” in
the E equation for both expenditure curves – to
remind us that investment and the interest rate
are not changing.

Motive for demand for money
Transactions motive
As income increases the transaction in which peoples involve
increases
Speculative motive
Higher levels of the nominal interest rate increase the opportunity
cost of holding money causing the quantity of money demanded
to money fall.

When the Fed reduces M, the vertical distance
of the shift tells us what happens to the
equilibrium interest rate associated with a given
value of income.
Or, we can think of the LM curve shifting
horizontally:
When the Fed reduces M, the horizontal
distance of the shift tells us what would have to
happen to income to restore money market
equilibrium at the initial interest rate

Monetary and fiscal policies in IS
- LM model
Monetary and fiscal policies are generally
termed as demand management policy.
Fiscal policy
Increase in G implies expands planned expenditure and this
implies increase in income, IS curve shifts outward and result
in new equilibrium level of income higher than the original.
But the increase in income resulted from change in
government expenditure increases transaction demand for
money. With fixed supply of real money balance the increase
demand for money causes increase in interest rate.

The Aggregate Demand Curve
Deriving The Ad Curve
The final step in constructing the AD curve is to relax the
price level which has so far been kept fixed in value in
deriving the LM curve.
When change the price level then the IS-LM model can
be used to derive the quantity of aggregate output
demanded in an economy.
As an example, consider a decrease in the price level from
P1 to P2 which is shown in the following graph:
slide 57
Cont..
slide 58
Why the AD Curve is Downward Sloping
the effect changes in P have on an asset, the stock of
money balances, which is also a nominal variable.
Say P increases, then the real value of this asset
decreases. The supply of real assets has fallen while
the demand for them has not changed. This leads to r
increasing, I decreasing, induced C falling, and Y
decreasing.
slide 59
A Shift of the AD Curve
Changes in P will cause a movement along the AD
curve, as outlined above. Changes in the exogenous
variables (except P — and we will let that vary
eventually) cause shifts of the AD curve.
