Detailed explanation-1: -The aggregate demand curve tends to shift to the left when total consumer spending declines. 2 Consumers might spend less because the cost of living is rising or because government taxes have increased. Consumers may decide to spend less and save more if they expect prices to rise in the future.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Aggregate expenditures will vary with the price level because of the wealth effect, the interest rate effect, and the international trade effect. The higher the price level, the lower the aggregate expenditures curve and the lower the equilibrium level of real GDP.
Detailed explanation-4: -A reduction in aggregate demand causes a leftward shift in the aggregate demand curve. This reduction lowers the GDP and price levels. This leads to economic contractions, making demand fall below the economy’s potential GDP, thereby causing a recession. Real GDP then falls, and so does the aggregate price level.
