Technique Overview
Aggregate Demand Definition
The aggregate demand (AD) curve shows the total quantity of goods and services demanded in the economy by households, companies, government, and customers abroad for any price level. An economy is said to be in equilibrium when in the long-run AD equals its GDP. Together with the aggregated supply (AS) curve it forms the basic macroeconomic model AD-AS for the analysis of short-run effects of several events and policies (Mankiw, 2011).
