Question
Explain national income equilibrium through aggregate demand and aggregate supply. Use diagram. Also explain the changes that take place in an economy when the economy is not in equilibrium.

Answer


The national income is in equilibrium when $AD = AS$. In the figure the equilibrium is at $E$, the intersection of the $AD$ curve and the $45^o$ line. The equilibrium income is OM.
When the economy is not in equilibrium $AD$ is not equal to AS. Suppose $AD>AS$, will lead to fall in inventories with the producers. The producers in turn will produce more to reach the desired level of inventories: This raises AS till it becomes equal to $AD$.
