We're going to be looking at the effect on aggregate demand of a 50 % increase in the oil prices by opec, the organization of petroleum exporting countries.
00:21
And we're going to be looking at the effect on the short -run aggregate supply curve.

Okay, so to start off with the agriculture.

Aggregate demand is basically an indication of what consumers are willing to buy at every price level.
00:43
So aggregate demand cannot really be expected to change as a result of an increase in the oil prices because the consumers will still want to use the same quantities.
00:57
The reason why their good demand will not shift.
01:01
It's simply for the simple reason that if the consumers would have some substitute goods to oil, they might prefer, they might just go for other substitute, but the general demand remains the same, whatever the price.
01:27
It may be the demand is not likely to shift...
