The Aggregate Demand Curve
The aggregate demand (AD) curve represents a macroeconomic function within business cycle theory that maps all combinations of inflation and real GDP growth consistent with a specified constant rate of nominal spending growth. Derived from the dynamic quantity equation ($m + v = \pi + y$), this mechanism illustrates that an increase in nominal GDP growth, driven by changes in money supply or velocity shifts, necessitates an outward shift of the AD curve to maintain equilibrium between price level inflation and real output expansion rates.
