NET-EXPORT EFFECT: A change in aggregate expenditures on real production, especially net exports through the foreign sector, that results because a change in the price level alters the relative prices of exports and imports. The net-export effect, also termed the international-substitution effect, is one of three effects underlying the negative slope of the aggregate demand curve associated with a movement along the aggregate demand curve and a change in aggregate expenditures. The other two are real-balance effect and interest-rate effect.

Lesson 7: Market Equilibrium | Unit 1: The Exchange

Page: 2 of 22
|
Equilibrium is the balance of opposing forces that remains unchanged until another force intervenes. For example: If two people are pushing in opposite ways on a swinging door with equal strength, then neither will be able to go through. Each pusher represents an opposing force. For a market, the opposing forces are: - Demand. Buyers want to pay a lower price.
- Supply. Sellers want to receive a higher price.
Market equilibrium is indicated by equilibrium quantity and equilibrium price.- Equilibrium quantity is the quantity of a good traded among buyers and sellers when a market is in equilibrium.
- Equilibrium price is the price agreed to by buyers and sellers when a market is in equilibrium.
- Buyers and sellers will continue to trade the equilibrium quantity at the equilibrium price indefinitely.
- But, the equilibrium quantity and price can be disrupted by ceteris paribus determinants of demand and supply. Analyzing these disruptions help us understand economic events.

ASSUMPTIONS, KEYNESIAN ECONOMICS The macroeconomic study of Keynesian economics relies on three key assumptions--rigid prices, effective demand, and savings-investment determinants. First, rigid or inflexible prices prevent some markets from achieving equilibrium in the short run. Second, effective demand means that consumption expenditures are based on actual income, not full employment or equilibrium income. Lastly, important savings and investment determinants include income, expectations, and other influences beyond the interest rate. These three assumptions imply that the economy can achieve a short-run equilibrium at less than full-employment production.
