Starting from long-run equilibrium, graphically illustrate and explain what happens to RGDP, the average price level, and unemployment if consumer confidence decreases.
As the consumer confidence decreases consumers are likely to spend less. This decreases consumption spending and therefore the aggregate demand decreases. Aggregate demand curve shifts to the left and there is a movement from E to F. In the short run the price level decreases to P1 and the real GDP decreases to Y1. as a result of reduced production there is an increase in the unemployment in the economy in the short run.
