<p>I am taking AP Macroeconomics, and am about 2/3 of the way through the curriculum. We have learned about various supply-demand graphs, and right now we are working on the market for money. I have noticed that with every model we learn about, there are a set of rules to remember which tell whether something will be a shift in the supply-demand graph. However, it is not ideal to have to remember these rules for every model we have looked at.</p>

<p>Is there any general rule for what events will definitely cause a movement, and what events will definitely cause a shift?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
