| JoeHoong | I kind of disagree with aggregate demand falling when price level increases. I thought the aggregate demand curve will remain fixed with change in price level. Isn't aggregate demand = aggregate demand curve? |
| jpducros | JoeHoong, the aggregate demand curve will remain fix, but there will be a movement along the curve. A movement to the left, since price level rises.....so consumption decrease and demand decrease. |
| tankdan | Question is kinda of sketchy...real GDP decreases... |
| gill15 | No. there is NO movement along the AD curve here. Increase in Price Level is not the same as an increase in Price. Increase in Price level would cause money supply to decrease and therefor AD decreases and the others just follow from this. |
| Shaan23 | Little confused here. The last question said Price Level does NOT cause a shift in AD. Here price level increases, consumption decreases and therefor AD decreases. Here AD did shift due to a change in price level, at least indirectly. |
