real wealth effect (theory)
as things get more expensive, people have less purchasing power, meaning less stuff is being purchased.
This could explain the downward slope of AD
interest rate effect (theory)
as things get less expensive, people have more money to put in the bank. This drives down interest rates and incentives investments
this could explain downward slope of AD
exchange rate effect
when price lowers domestically, more goods are exported to other countries, causing net-exports to ride
this could explain the downward slope of AD
