Study Notes

IS Curve in the IS-LM Model

Represents the combinations of interest rates and levels of real income where the goods market is in equilibrium
Downward sloping due to the negative relationship between interest rates and planned investment spending

Shifts in the IS Curve

A rightward shift from IS to IS2 occurs when investment rises, leading to an increase in equilibrium output
This shift is caused by an increase in planned investment spending at each interest rate

LM Curve in the IS-LM Model

Represents the combinations of interest rates and levels of real income where the money market is in equilibrium
Upward sloping due to the positive relationship between interest rates and the demand for money

Shifts in the LM Curve

A rightward shift occurs when the demand for money increases, leading to an increase in interest rates
This shift is caused by an increase in the demand for money at each level of real income

Equilibrium in the IS-LM Model

Occurs at the point where the IS and LM curves intersect
Represents the combination of interest rates and levels of real income where both the goods and money markets are in equilibrium

Effectiveness of Monetary Policy

The effectiveness of monetary policy is influenced by the interest elasticity of demand for money
A high interest elasticity of demand for money makes monetary policy more effective
A perfectly inelastic IS curve makes monetary policy ineffective

Fiscal Policy in the IS-LM Model

A government deficit leads to a rightward shift of the IS curve, resulting in an increase in equilibrium output
The steepness of the LM curve determines the impact of fiscal policy on real income
A steep LM curve leads to a larger change in real income in response to fiscal policy

Real Income and Interest Rates

An increase in government expenditure leads to an increase in real income and a decrease in interest rates in an IS-LM model with a steep IS curve
