Glossary · Macro · Aggregate demand and supply
What shifts aggregate demand
Anything that changes spending at a given price level: consumer confidence and wealth, business expectations, interest rates set by the central bank, government spending and taxes, and foreign income and exchange rates. A change in the price level itself is a movement along the curve, not a shift.
Also called: demand shock
