  • Aggregate Expenditure Model
    A framework showing total spending in an economy as the sum of consumption, investment, government spending, and net exports compared to GDP.
  • Aggregate Demand Curve
    A graphical representation showing the inverse relationship between the price level and the quantity of GDP demanded.
  • Price Level
    A measure reflecting the average of current prices across the entire spectrum of goods and services produced in the economy.
  • Consumption
    The portion of aggregate expenditures representing household spending on goods and services.
  • Investment
    Spending by businesses on capital goods, which is a key component influencing shifts in aggregate expenditures and demand.
  • Government Spending
    Expenditures by the public sector on goods and services, contributing directly to aggregate expenditures.
  • Net Exports
    The value of a country's exports minus its imports, affecting total spending and GDP.
  • Equilibrium GDP
    The level of output where total spending equals total production, determining the economy's short-run output.
  • Multiplier Effect
    A process where an initial change in spending leads to a larger change in equilibrium GDP.
  • Wealth Effect
    A phenomenon where changes in the price level alter consumer purchasing power, impacting consumption.
  • Interest Rate Effect
    A mechanism where higher price levels raise interest rates, reducing investment and consumption.
  • Exchange Rate Effect
    A process where changes in the price level influence currency value, affecting net exports.
  • Macroeconomic Equilibrium
    A state where aggregate expenditures and GDP are balanced, with no tendency for output to change.
  • Rightward Shift
    A movement of the aggregate demand curve indicating increased GDP demanded at the same price level.
  • Determinants of Aggregate Expenditure
    Factors such as consumption, investment, government spending, and net exports that influence total spending.
