In the below diagram, O1 is the full employment equilibrium level. The economy was initially at point A, with demand level AD1. With a reduction in aggregate demand, the aggregate demand curve moves downward towards AD2. When the price is inflexible for being down, the economy will operate at point B with the constant price level and lower real output at O2.
If the price is flexible to move down, the economy will operate at point C with the lower price level P2 and operating at full employment equilibrium.
