What causes the shifts in the AD curve?
A
The determinants of aggregate demand
B
Changes in the price level
C
Changes in marginal benefits of consumption
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The aggregate demand curve, or AD curve, shifts to the right as the components of aggregate demand-consumption spending, investment spending, government spending, and spending on exports minus imports-rise. The AD curve will shift back to the left as these components fall.

Detailed explanation-2: -Factors that Cause Shifts in Aggregate Demand An increase in any of the components of aggregate demand – consumption spending, investment spending, government spending, and net exports (X-M) – shifts the aggregate demand curve to the right, and a fall in any of these components shifts it to the left.

Detailed explanation-3: -Aggregate demand is the sum of four components: consumption, investment, government spending, and net exports. Consumption can change for a number of reasons, including movements in income, taxes, expectations about future income, and changes in wealth levels.

Detailed explanation-4: -The aggregate supply curve shifts to the right as productivity increases or the price of key inputs falls, making a combination of lower inflation, higher output, and lower unemployment possible.
