Suppose price level decreases, explain why AD has a downward slope through the exchange rate effect.

A decrease in the price level would cause savings to rise. Therefore there will be an excess supply of loanable funds. The excess supply of loanable funds would reduce the interest rate. thereby US dollar would depreciate. As there will less demand by the foreign investors for the US dollars. This will increase the net exports as US goods would become to cheaper abroad. The increase in net exports would increase Y. Therefore, a decrease in price would increase Y, explaining why AD curve has a downward slope.

Which of the following is a reason the aggregate demand curve slopes downward?

As the price level falls, households demand less money, so the interest rate falls. As the interest rate falls spending by firms and households rise. As the price level falls, the interest rate falls so U.S. savers will choose to buy more assets abroad. This increase in net capital outflow causes the exchange rate to fall. The decrease in the exchange rate makes U.S. goods less expensive compared to foreign goods and so net exports rise. As the price level falls, wealth rises, so consumers desire to spend more -All of these choices are correct
