Answer to Question 1

The aggregate demand curve might be shifted to the left (a decrease) because of a decrease in consumption spending because of higher income taxes, a fall in consumer confidence or a reduced stock market wealth. Aggregate demand could also shift left if investment decreased due to higher real interest rates or a pessimistic economic outlook. Aggregate demand could also be decreased through a reduction in government purchases, or transfer payments. If net exports fell, this would also decrease aggregate demand.
