| MaiHuong | Increase in stock market and housing price have indirectly effect on demand |
| DannyZhou | Here comes bubble money. |
| YOUCANDOIT | How come it is not C? I thought wealth effects bring movement along the AD curve.....i thought AD curve shifts if EXPECTED FUTURE income, inflation or profits increases.... Can someone explain this? |
| hoyleng | youcandoit. increase in expected future income increases ppl consumption today, thus increased in aggregrate demand |
| choas69 | increase in wealth aint a movement in the AD curve its not the price level for each quantity, increase in wealth means the money u have today has more purchasing power than it was yesterday. |
