DEFINITION of 'Demand-Pull Inflation'. A term used in Keynesian economics to describe the scenario that occurs when price levels rise because of an imbalance in the aggregate supply and demand. When the aggregate demand in an economy strongly outweighs the aggregate supply, prices increase. Economists will often say that demand-pull inflation is a result of too many dollars chasing too few goods.
Over-expansion of the money supply can also create demand-pull inflation. The money supply is not just cash, but also credit, loans and mortgages. When the money supply expands, it lowers the value of the dollar. When the dollar declines relative to the value of foreign currencies, the prices of imports rise. That also creates cost-push inflation.
