- AD-IA Model
The Aggregate Demand-Inflation Adjustment model builds on the concepts of the
IS/LM model and theAD-AS model s, essentially in terms of changing interest rates in response to fluctuations in inflation rather than as changes in the money supply in response to changes in the price level.The Model
The AD-IA model is a Keynesian method used to explain economic fluctuations. Essentially, this model is used to show undergraduate students how shifts in demand or shocks to prices can effect real GDP around potential. The model assumes that when inflation rises the interest rate rises (monetary policy rule). It also assumes that when real GDP exceeds potential, there is upward pressure on the inflation rate and vice versa.
The model features a downward-sloping demand curve (AD) and a horizontal inflation adjustment line (IA). The point where the two lines cross is equal to potential GDP. A shift in either curve will explain the impact on real GDP and inflation in the short run.
hifts in Demand
A shift in demand can occur for the following reasons:
* A change in government spending
* A change in consumption
* A change in taxes
* A change in the monetary ruleExample: Suppose the government were to cut taxes. This would lead to an increase in expenditures and thus an increase in demand. The demand curve would therefore shift to the right and real GDP would be growing above potential. The inflation adjustment line would then shift upward (reflecting an increase in the inflation rate) causing a movement along the new demand curve until real GDP was equal to potential.
More Advanced
This model is further advanced in higher levels of undergraduate studies.
Economist David Romer proposed in the Journal of Economic Perspectives in 2000 that the LM curve be replaced in the
IS-LM model. Romer suggested that although the Federal Reserve uses open market operations to impact the federal funds rate, they are not targeting money supply, but rather the interest rate. Therefore, he suggests removing the LM curve and replacing it with the MP curve.Related Models
