An example of Aggregate Demand for me personally would be in my work. I work in the
aerospace industry for a government contractor (surveillance only, not weaponized), so
when the current president took office and cut the defense spending that the previous
president had increased, we felt the pinch. When the government cuts back on defense
spending, each military branch will have less money to spend, which decreases aggregate
demand. The four components that are considered in aggregate demand are: consumption,
gross investment, government purchases, and net exports. These components together
impact the overall demand that impact the aggregate demand curve prices. Working at a
grocery store has been tough throughout these past months of inflation. Daily, customers
talk about prices. However, prices where I work are typically the lowest in town and quality
is not lacking. Consumption is something I am familiar with as an employee at a grocery
store. We have sales every week on produce items. This causes demand to rise in the short
run (weekly). The higher demand for these food items at their lower price creates our
system to order more as we are selling more. If we received less than we were billed for,
we risk the potential of losing business (demand) because people visit our store specifically
for these items. The formula for aggregate demand is AD = C+I+G+Nx. Where aggregate
demand is made up of Consumer spending on goods and services, this is referred to as C.
Private investment and corporate spending on non-final capital goods such as factories or
equipment; is referred to as I. Government spending on public goods and social services
such as infrastructure or medicare is referred to as G. Net exports which is the accumulation
of exports minus imports; this is referred to as Nx.We experienced a surge in consumer
demand at my company, where during covid, customers wanted to find ways to escape
being close to others. This surge was driven by early tax refunds given out as money to
keep the economy going and the increase in customer confidence at that time. In the short
run, while prices are sticky, the real GDP and price level both rise, shifting this curve to the
right. In the long run, we find that prices and wages become more flexible and employment
will move to the natural or full employment state, and real GDP will move to its potential.
During this time, we found ourselves trying to expand our production ability by increases in
tooling and equipment. This additional spending on a national level would be another
increase in the aggregate demand with similar results.I'm not sure that the stimulus checks
given out by the federal government would count. Still, I believe those are direct examples
of government spending increasing the G factor in the formula above.Finally, the raw
material and logistics issues that we've been experiencing since Covid are examples of
increases in the import side of the equation shown, which in turn would drive down or shift
the line for Aggregate demand to the left. Aggregated demand is the overall demand for the
goods and service of the total economy. There are four components of Aggregated demand
which can cause the demand curve to shift: Consumption, Investments, government
spending, and imports and exports. Each of these plays a valuable part in the aggregated
demand cycle. They all can change due to a number of reasons. Consumption can change
because movement in income, taxes, change in wealth levels etc. Investments can help
increase future demand, interest rates, availability of finances etc. Government spending-
the government uses expenditures to stimulate the economy and demand Net Exports are
very important to an economy if the demand falls, other nations can reply on demand from
other countries. When COVID first started everyone went to outside activities for example
riding bikes. I went to go purchase a bike during COVID and the supply was super low
because the demand for a bicycle was super high. One could only assume that the bicycles
weren't important enough to go and seek them from another country net imports). It leaves
me to believe that net import is only for what the government deems to be important.
Aggregate demand is the way of measuring the total expenditures with a country's goods
and services. When there is aggregate demand there are four components. They are the
following: consumptions, investments, government spending, and import and export.
Consumption is from the total spending of households of an economy. Investment is the
spending of capital goods. Government spending is on goods and services pertaining to
education, health care, and ect. The export is the process of a country moving goods in and
out.
There is a family that I know who are in the process of having a house built. They started
the process in June of 2020. The building was put on hold during the pandemic by the
contractor. There was a discrepancy with the lumber supply company. It became an issue
with the transporting of materials. While they were figuring out one problem another was
created. The lumber company was trying to change the invoice that was already created.
The price of lumber had increased for them so they increased it for the customer too, which
is unethical. They have resumed building but they are in the process of legal mediation.
There are four sources or components in aggregate demand such as consumption,
investment, government spending, and net exports. A product that I use such as the Hershey
caramel mix for example was in high demand for a long time. It was to a point where I was
going to several stores and not being able to find any. Another example is during Covid
when Lysol was in high demand, the prices got tremendously high and they were sold out
in mostly all stores just like toilet paper. The effect it had was not being able to produce
enough products and keep them on the shelves. Aggregate demand is the total demand for
goods and services within a particular market. Increased government spending can cause a
rise in aggregate demand. When Lysol began to go up, even the off brand ones were going
up and were hard to find for purchase. People began to look into making their own hand
sanitizer as well when it became hard to find those in the stores too during Covid.
AD-AS is aggregate-demand and aggregate-supply. This model is used to explain the price
level and output within the connection of the aggregate demand and aggregate supply.
Short run in macroeconomics is a period in which wages and some other prices do not
respond to changes in economic conditions. Long run in macroeconomics is a time period
that the average prices are adjusted based on the condition of the economy.
Short run differ from long run being that in the LR there are no fixed factors; there are
fixed and variable factors in the SR. There are four sources or components in aggregate
demand such as consumption, investment, government spending, and net exports. A product
that I use such as the Hershey caramel mix for example was in high demand for a long
time. It was to a point where I was going to several stores and not being able to find any.
Another example is during Covid when Lysol was in high demand, the prices got
tremendously high and they were sold out in mostly all stores just like toilet paper. The

Aggregate demand is the total demand for goods and services within a particular market.
Increased government spending can cause a rise in aggregate demand. When Lysol began to
go up, even the off brand ones were going up and were hard to find for purchase. People
began to look into making their own hand sanitizer as well when it became hard to find
those in the stores too during Covid. Currently in my job, the demand for certain products
such as parking paint has increased due to a shortage in supplies so we are currently
looking for another type of paint to be approved to use. Now, with this increase in demand
at this point in time, the prices are going up because there may be only one supplier that
can obtain the approved product I can use. The increase in cost will be there, the increase in
time and resources spent on looking for another product is being done by a team of people
and sourcing is going to be increased. For a product that would have cost $50 before is now
going to cost $150 plus the time and resources trying to get the product.
The overall prices of everything today is greatly increased and we continue to see
shortages. Gas and food are the most essential and then household items. Are we going to
have a shortage on food soon for real? I hear rumors of people talking. I have extra freezer
and shelving for goods to be stored. I'm an essential working spending $800 a month just to
commute to work. What is everyone's feelings on this?
