3 · Analysis · Hard · Liquidity Trap
In the standard aggregate demand-aggregate supply (AD-AS) framework, how does the existence of a liquidity trap affect the slope of the aggregate demand (AD) curve?
Tap an answer. The explanation will appear here, including why each wrong option is wrong.
Not quite. C is correct.
In a liquidity trap, a decrease in the price level increases real money balances (M/P), but because the nominal interest rate is already at zero, the interest rate cannot fall further. Thus, investment and aggregate demand do not respond to price changes, resulting in a vertical AD curve.
