Simple Keynesian Model
Planned aggregate expenditure = C + I + G + NX
45 degree line: all points where production (real GDP) =
aggregate expenditure
Equilibrium occurs where planned aggregate expenditure
equals production

Increase in Investment
Investment increases from I to I1.
Output increases from Y to Y1.

Investment Demand
Interest rate decreases from r to r1.
Investment increases from I to I1.

Different Elasticities of Investment Demand
Decrease of interest rates from r to r1.
With IA, investment increases from I to I2.
With IB, investment increases from I to I1.
IA is more elastic than IB.

Aggregate Demand
An increase in price from P to P1 results in
a decrease in real GDP from Y to Y1

Shifts in Aggregate Demand
A decrease in expected future
income, in government expenditures,
in the money supply or an increase in
taxes will cause the AD to shift from
AD to AD1.
An increase in expected future
income, in government expenditures
or in the money supply, or a decrease
in taxes will cause the AD to shift
from AD to AD2.

Aggregate Supply
Y* represents potential real GDP. It is full-employment output.
SRAS is the short-run aggregate supply curve.

Aggregate Supply
1. Potential GDP increases
from Y* to Y*1. The LRAS
shifts to LRAS1 and the
short-run aggregate supply
curve shifts to SRAS1.
2. Decrease in resource
prices will shift the SRAS to
SRAS1. A decrease in the
money wage rate does not
change the LRAS.

From the Short Run to the Long Run
Initially the economy is at Y*, potential GDP and P.
Aggregate demand increases from AD to AD1 and the
economy moves to Y1 and P1.
The final equilibrium is Y* and P2.
