**Title: Understanding the Paradox of Saving in the AS-AD Model**---**Overview:**In this section, we delve into the paradox of saving within the framework of the AS-AD (Aggregate Supply-Aggregate Demand) model. To illustrate this, we consider a scenario where the economy begins with its output at the natural level. However, a decrease in consumer confidence occurs as households attempt to increase their savings for a fixed level of disposable income. This situation provides insights into the effects on various economic factors in both the short run and the medium run.---**Key Questions to Explore:****a. Analyzing with AS-AD and IS-LM Diagrams:**- **Objective:** Demonstrate the effects of reduced consumer confidence in the short run and medium run.- **Approach:** Use AS-AD (Aggregate Supply-Aggregate Demand) and IS-LM (Investment-Savings, Liquidity preference-Money supply) diagrams.- **Explanation Required:** Describe why and how the curves in these diagrams shift due to changes in consumer confidence.**b. Short-Run Implications:**- **Focus Areas:** - Output - Interest Rate - Price Level - Consumption - Investment - Private Saving- **Critical Question:** Could the decline in consumer confidence paradoxically result in a reduction in private saving in the short run?**c. Medium-Run Analysis:**- **Objective:** Repeat the analysis for the medium run.- **Critical Question:** Explore whether the paradox of saving leads to different outcomes in the medium run compared to the short run.---**Conclusion:**By examining these scenarios, we aim to clarify the complex interactions between consumer behavior and macroeconomic variables such as output, interest rates, and savings. This analysis underscores the significance of consumer confidence and its broader economic implications.

The aggregate demand–aggregate supply model, also known as the AD-AS model, is a macroeconomic model…

VI. Here we consider the paradox of saving one last time in the context of the AS-AD model. Suppose the economy begins with output equal to its natural level. Then there is a decrease in consumer confidence, as households attempt to increase their saving, for a given level of disposable income. a. In AS-AD and IS-LM diagrams, show the effects of the decline in consumer confidence in the short run and the medium run. Explain why curves shift in your diagrams. b. What happens to output, the interest rate, and the price level in the short run? What happens to consumption, investment, and private saving in the short run? Is it possible that the decline in consumer confidence will actually lead to a fall in private saving in the short run? c. Repeat part (b) for the medium run. Is there any paradox of saving in the medium run?
