Answer to Question 1

The AD curve slopes downward because of the real balances (wealth) effect, the interest-rate effect and the net exports effect. Anything that increases total spending in the national economy would shift the aggregate demand curve to the right and increase real GDP and the price level (creating demand-pull inflation).
