A decision you can investigate
- A stimulus supports jobs during a downturn, but its effect changes when factories are already at capacity.
- The same spending increase can have different output and price effects.
Build the explanation
- AD is C + I + G + (X − M). A change in demand must be interpreted alongside short-run and long-run supply.
- Real GDP 实际国内生产总值, inflation and unemployment measure different outcomes; distribution and sustainability also matter.
