In the foreign exchange market, value of the dollar has fallen. Simultaneously, businesses are feeling hesitant to undertake new real investment (“animal spirits” are down) and households are nervous about the future (Consumer Confidence Index is down) and are cutting back on consumption while they save more. What happens to the Aggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply curves of the U.S.? 1. Aggregate Supply does not change. AD has two opposing effects: exports rise due to the fall in the dollar, and both investment and consumption fall. It is not clear which effect is stronger. AD can move either to the left or to the right. 2.Aggregate Supply does not change. AD has two effects on it. Exports fall due to the fall in the dollar, and both investment and consumption also fall. AE falls and AD shifts to the left. 3.Aggregate Supply does not change. AD has two effects on it. Exports rise due to the fall in the dollar, and both investment and consumption also fall. AE falls and…
