MACROECONOMIC SECTORS: The four aggregate sectors of the macroeconomy--household, business, government, and foreign--that reflect four key macroeconomic functions and are responsible for four expenditures on gross domestic product. These four sectors are the primary "actors" on the macroeconomic stage. Macroeconomic theories then explain macroeconomic phenomena by exploring the interaction among these four sectors.

The case of an decrease in the AD curve. Let's start at long-run equilibrium. All three curves, AD, LRAS, and SRAS, intersect at the same long-run equilibrium values, Po and Qf.- With a leftward shift of the AD curve, the aggregate market achieves short-run equilibrium at a lower price level and less real production.
- The labor market imbalance causes wages and production cost to fall. The SRAS shifts rightward. It stops shifting when it intersects the new AD and the original LRAS curves for a new long-run equilibrium. The price level is even lower and real production returns to full employment.
