Using an aggregate demand graph, illustrate the impact of an increase in the growth rate of U.S. GDP relative to the growth rate of foreign GDP
What will be an ideal response?
The increase in the growth rate of U.S. GDP relative to the growth rate of foreign GDP will cause U.S. imports to increase faster than U.S. exports, and net exports will fall. This will result in a parallel leftward shift in the aggregate demand curve. We start on the curve AD1 and the increase in the growth rate of U.S. GDP relative to the growth rate of foreign GDP will move us to AD2. At the price level P1, the quantity of real GDP demanded declines from Y1 to Y2.
