For the economy as a whole, demand pulled inflation refers to the price increases which results from an excess of demand over supply. It is a form of inflation and categorized by the four parts (households, businesses, governments and foreign buyers). When these parts want to purchase greater output than the economy can produce and we need more cash to buy the same amount of goods as before and the value of money falls, so they have to compete in order to purchase limited amounts of products and services.
Generally, the demand-pulled inflation result from any factor that increases aggregate demand.
Also, an increase in export and two factors controlled by the government are increases in the quantity of money and increases in government purchases…show more content… Also, it refers to the general price level increase because of increasing of consumer which is manifested in consumer price index (CPI).
CPI is used by the consuming public to recognize how their purchasing power is getting effected. It aims to compare the cost of purchasing the market basket bought by a typical consumer during a specific period with the cost of purchasing the same market basket during earlier period.
