Liquidity preference theory and downward sloping of aggregate demand .
Explanation of Solution
Keynes in his classic book “The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money”, proposed the theory of liquidity preference, according to which, the interest rate adjusts to bring money
According to the theory, the aggregate–demand curve slopes downward because
- (1) An increase in price level raises money demand.
- (2) Higher money demand causes the interest rate to rise.
- (3) A rise in interest rate reduces the quantity of goods and services demanded.
Thus, there exists an inverse relationship between the price level and aggregate demand, making the AD curve slopes downward.
Concept introduction:
Aggregate demand (AD): Aggregate demand refers to the total value of the goods and services that are demanded at a particular price in a given period.
Money supply: Money supply refers to the total amount of monetary assets circulating in an economy during a particular period.

Hello Professor, A rise in consumption in the economy would cause an increase in aggregate demand. Therefore, when consumers spend money on everyday goods and services, it not only helps to stimulate economic growth, but it could also present potential issues like unsustainable debt levels or inflation. I believe that it would be beneficial to consider such factors and adopt a purchasing strategy to help navigate the challenges posed by inflation or unsustainable debt levels. First, do you think our business will be affected because inflation is rising? How? Yes, I do believe that the business will be affected because of inflationary pressures. Inflation rising will affect the cost of goods, services, and labor, which could lead to higher operating expenses. The potential reduction of profit margin because of inflation could lead to a smaller percentage of revenue being retained as profit. Therefore, inflation rising will force us to raise prices for…arrow_forwardNot use ai pleasearrow_forward
