Anticipated change – foreseen in time to make adjustments
Unanticipated change – not foreseen, appropriate adjustments were not made

1. Increases in real wealth shift AD right◦ a. Stock market◦ b. Housing prices
◦ Example: The 1990s “new economy”

2. When the interest rate falls, AD shifts right because borrowing (for consumption and investment) becomes cheaper

4. When expected inflation is high, AD shifts right◦ Less incentive to save, spend now
5. If other countries’ incomes are rising, AD shifts right◦ Demand for U.S. exports increases as other
countries prosper◦ The larger the trade sector, the bigger the shift

6. When the dollar depreciates, AD shifts right◦ Imports become more expensive◦ Exports become cheaper◦ So, NX will rise

Unanticipated changes in AD or SRAS can disrupt the economy
But changes in ◦ Resource prices◦ Interest rates
Return the economy to long run equilibrium
Recessions and Booms

Recession (GDP less than YF)◦ Weak demand for resources causes
unemployment◦ Resource prices then fall◦ Return to full output
Boom (GDP greater than YF)◦ Strong demand for resources causes greater than
normal profits◦ Resource price then rise◦ Return to full output
Resource Market Adjustments

Recession (GDP less than YF)◦ Weak demand for borrowing◦ Interest rates then fall◦ Return to full output
Boom (GDP more than YF)◦ Strong demand for borrowing◦ Drives up interest rates◦ Return to full output
