For example, suppose
•
This reduction in the demand for investment goods causes a contractionary
•
The fall in investment reduces planned expenditure and shifts the IS curve
•
This fall in equilibrium income in part validates the firms’ initial pessimism.

In fact, the Fed (SARB)
targets the federal funds rate (repo rate)—
the interest rate banks charge one another on overnight
loans.
These central banks change the money supply and shifts the
LM
curve
to achieve their target.

They are easier to measure than the money supply.

The Fed might believe that
We will extend our theory of short-run
fluctuations to include

and aggregate demand
So far, we’ve been using the IS-LMmodel to analyze the short
run,
However, a change in P
would shift LM and therefore affect Y.

Previously, we derived the AD curve
from the quantity theory of
That analysis showed that for a given
money supply, a higher price
