Q

What are the two scenarios that would cause a movement on the AD curve?

A

when the general price level decreases and income stays the same there is an extension in aggregate demand.

when the price level increases and income stays the same there is a contraction in aggregate demand.

Non price factors,
34
Q

What are exports?

What are the factors effecting the demand for a nations

A

Exports are goods and services sold to other countries. Exports are an injection into the circular flow of income and spending.

Relative prices of exports in world markets.

The exchange rate, a stronger currency makes exports more expensive.

Non price demand factors.

Strength of aggregate demand in key export markets.

35
Q

How is the net trade balance measured?

What is a trade deficit and what impact does it have?

What is trade surplus and what impact does it have?

A

Value of exported goods and services - value of imported goods and services.

Trade deficit imports> exports causes ad to fall

Trade surplus exports> imports causes ad to rise.

36
Q

How does Real income impact “net trade”.?

A

If real income increases consumers will buy more imports, This will cause net trade trade to fall and cause to AD to decrease as M> X

37
Q

How to exchange rates impact “net trade”.?

A

If the currency appreciates the exports will be more expensive for other countries so volume if imports will increase.

In addition an appreciation in currency makes the exports look imports look cheaper in domestic currency.
So the volumes of imports will increase.

38
Q

How does protectionism impact “net trade”?

A

Protectionism is when countries put barriers to trade such a tariffs and quotas in place. (tariffs are a tax on exports).
This decreases the amount amount of exports the UK can sell, so net trade decreases and AD falls.

39
Q

How does the state of the world economy impact “net trade”?

A

If there is a global recession then exports will decrease this means net trade decreases and AD decreases.

40
Q

How do Non- price factors impact “net trade”?

A

If the quality of goods produced in the UK increases then exports will increase, so net trade will rise and AD will rise.

41
Q

Interest rates rising will cause what component in AD?

What impact ±.

A

Consumption and investment.

AD will fall.

42
Q

Consumer confidence falling will cause what component in AD?

What impact ±.

A

Consumption will decrease.

43
Q

Exchange rates appreciates will cause what component in AD?

What impact ±.

A

Exports would decrease and imports would increase so net trade will be negative so AD will fall.

44
Q

Negative economic growth will cause what component in AD?

What impact ±.

A

Consumption would decrease as

Government spending would increase so AD would increase.

Investment would decrease so AD would fall.

Imports would decrease.

45
Q

In Jan 2021 tariffs on UK exports to beef to the EU will be 30% how would this cause AD
