Gross domestic product (GDP) – The value of the economy’s total output at a given price
level for a period.
Aggregate demand (AD) – The total expenditure in the economy for a period. It is
essentially the total demand in the economy.
GDP and AD are often used interchangeably and are equal in the long run.
AD = Consumption + Investment+ Government spending + (Total export – total import)
Aggregate supply – The real value of the total output an economy can produce in a period.
Economic cycle – The fluctuations in economic activity over time, characterised by states of
expansion and contraction.
The economic cycle is typically measured in terms of GDP growth.
Key Point
The interaction between aggregate demand (AD) and aggregate supply (AS) affects the state of
the economy, including inflation and unemployment.
For example, if AD increases (shifts to the right on the graph) without a corresponding increase in
supply, this leads to demand-pull inflation.
The intersection between AD and AS is the equilibrium GDP, which the economy is expected to
stabilise at.
Note that the equilibrium GDP may vary from the actual GDP of the country due to various factors.
A summary of the impact of each state of the economic cycle is shown
below.

Other names Boom Decline Slump Recovery
