Question

A decrease in real GDP in the United States relative to foreign countries will decrease U.S. net exports and shift the aggregate demand curve to the left.

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Net exports equal exports minus imports, and they depend on both domestic and foreign income levels as well as the exchange rate and relative prices.

1. Relevant knowledge points and concepts
- Aggregate demand (AD) = C + I + G + NX, where NX = exports − imports.  
- Exports are primarily driven by foreign income (when foreigners buy more, our exports rise).  
- Imports are primarily driven by domestic income (when our income falls, we import less).  
- A change in U.S. real GDP relative to foreign GDP affects both exports and imports in opposing directions.

2. Step-by-step reasoning
- The statement says U.S. real GDP decreases relative to foreign countries. Interpreting this: either U.S. income falls while foreign income stays the same or foreign income rises relative to U.S. income.  
- Lower U.S. income reduces U.S. demand for foreign goods, so imports fall.  
- Higher/relatively higher foreign income increases foreign demand for U.S. goods, so exports rise.  
- Both effects (imports down, exports up) increase NX = exports − imports.

3. Intermediate calculation example
- Start: exports = 100, imports = 100 → NX = 0.  
- After: exports rise to 120 (foreign demand up), imports fall to 70 (U.S. demand down) → NX = 120 − 70 = 50.  
- Net exports increased from 0 to 50.

4. Why the correct answer is correct
- Because a decline in U.S. GDP relative to foreign GDP tends to raise exports and lower imports, net exports increase rather than decrease. An increase in NX raises aggregate demand (AD shifts right), not left.

5. Why the other option is incorrect
- The claim “True” would assert net exports fall and AD shifts left; that ignores the import-reducing and export-increasing effects of a relatively weaker U.S. economy. Unless offset by an exchange-rate movement that reverses trade flows, the direct income effects increase NX.

6. Conclusion
- Therefore the statement is False, which matches the provided answer.

A decrease in the price level leads to a rightward shift in the aggregate demand curve because it increases consumption, investment, and net exports.

What would lower aggregate demand (AD)?

Why is aggregate demand (AD) downward-sloping?

What would shift aggregate demand (AD) to the right?

What would lower aggregate demand (AD)?

Why is aggregate demand (AD) downward-sloping?

What would shift aggregate demand (AD) to the right?

The aggregate demand curve is downward sloping because a higher inflation rate leads the central bank to raise interest rates, thereby equilibrium output.
