Atlantis is a small city with open spaces‚ low population‚ and a low crime rate. There are plenty of sidewalks and street systems for easy access to the highway. The housing in Atlantis is detached homes and apartments. The supply and demand simulation consists of microeconomics and macroeconomics. The simulation presents shifts in the

Introduction Aggregate demand is normally understood in the context of the total value of goods and services demanded by a given group of consumers at a given time period and at a given price (Brux 2007‚ p. 375).
