Analysis of AD & AS Continued
AP Macroeconomics
Where we came from…
Previously, we learned
the similarities and
differences between
the simple Keynesian
model and the AD &
AS model so that we
could reconcile them
with one another.

What’s a shock?
A supply or demand shock is caused by an
event that shifts the curve.
Effects of a Supply Shock
For supply, a supply shock is
caused by a changes in
commodity prices, nominal
wages, or productivity.
A negative supply shock raises
production costs and lessens
the quantity that producers are
willing to produce at any given
aggregate price level. This
shifts the supply curve
leftward.
A positive supply shock reduces
production costs and increases
the quantity of goods supplied
at any given aggregate price
level. This shifts the supply
curve to the right.
Effects of a Demand Shock



Expectations of wealth,
government spending,
autonomous consumption –
all things that shift demand.
A positive demand shock
shifts the demand curve to
the right. It increases the
quantity demanded at any
given aggregate price level.
A negative demand shock
shifts the demand curve to
the left, and decreases the
quantity demanded at any
given aggregate price level.
