As in the AD,AS diagram u always can see that AD curve slopes down.It has a negative slope.Why???
Three explanations for the negative slope are:
1. Interest rate effect
2. Real balance effect
3. Foreign purchases effect
- Interest rate:
- Real blance effect:
It is proved through consumption and expenditure. As price level rises, purchasing power of money balances falls. As our real wealth falls, we will cut back on our consumption spending,which means consumption will decrease.Therefore,this will leads to a decrease in Real GDP in the economy.
- Foreign purchases effect:
It is applicable only to open economies with foreign trade being introduced into our explanation. With an increase in domestic price level relative to those of trading partners, domestic consumers will spend less on domestically produced goods and services and more on imports (M). Also, foreigners will buy less of our exports (X). The increase in M and decrease in X (that is, a decrease in net exports) means a decrease in real GDP.

'as price level rises so therefore the money supply will fall'..why so? i still can't fully understand this topic((
Well,the real money supply=nominal money supply/Price level
So as I understand,the price level in our country rises,there fore,other countries will buy less our exports or our domestic products.So that,the demand for our currency will decrease,and the money supply will fall.Then a country will have to increase interest rate to encourage other savings from other countries in our domestic banks,this will increase the demand for our currency and the exchange rate will rise.
