Sources of Aggregate Demand Shocks
An aggregate demand shock is an unexpected event that changes the level of aggregate demand. These shocks typically originate from changes in the autonomous components of spending. Key sources include shifts in autonomous consumption (), autonomous investment (), government spending (), and exports (). Changes in the interest rate can also trigger a demand shock by influencing investment.
