The determinants of aggregate demand Multiple Choice explain shifts in the aggregate demand curve. explain why the aggregate demand curve is downsloping. include input prices and resource productivity. demonstrate why real output and the price level are inversely related.

shifts in the demand curve

Explanation:

Aggregate demand is total value of goods and services demanded at a particular time in an economy. It indicate goods and services that will be bought at different prices.

The determinants of aggregate demand are factors that could cause shift in aggregate demand curve either to the left or right. A shift in aggregate demand curve to the right means an increase in quantity demand while a shift to the left means a decrease in quantity demand at every price level.

The determinants are;

Price of the goods - An increase in price of the goods itself will bring about shift in the demand curve to the left and vice versa

Consumer expectations - When consumers expect price of goods to be high, demand curve would shift to the right and vice versa.

Price of related goods - An increase in price of related or complementary good would cause the demand to either shift to the left or right.

Income of the buyers - Increase in come of buyers would shift the demand curve to the right and vice versa.

Taste or preference of consumers - When consumer's preference shift in favour of a product, demand for such product would increase thus shifting the demand curve to the right.
