Aggregate Demand and its Components Y=C+I+G+X-M

Aggregate demand is the total demand for final goods and services in an economy at a given time – we will take you through its components.

This is calculated by adding the spending from all groups in the economy:

  • Households undergo consumption (C)
  • Businesses undergo investment (I)
  • Governments undergo government spending (G)
  • Overseas contributes the trade balance – exports minus imports (X-M)

Hence overall, aggregate demand (AD) = C + I + G + (X-M). Note that AD = Y at equilibrium, and so also, Y = C + I + G +(X-M)
