  • Analyzing How AD Components Shift the Aggregate Demand Curve

Impact of Wealth Changes on the Aggregate Demand Curve

Changes in household wealth can cause the entire aggregate demand (AD) curve to shift. An increase in wealth tends to boost autonomous consumption, shifting the AD curve upward, while a decrease in wealth has the opposite effect. This mechanism is distinct from factors that change the slope of the AD curve, such as the marginal propensity to consume.
