IS-LM Flashcards
What is the National Account Identity?
Y = C + I + G + NX
What is Y?
Actual Production
What is Planned Expenditure?
E = C + I + G + NX
What two things are equal in equilibrium?
Y = E
What does it mean if E < Full Employment Production Yf?
Excess Supply
Deflationary Gap- Spare Capacity + Unemployment will rise
What does it mean if E > Full Employment Production Yf?
Excess Demand
Inflationary Gap
What does IS mean?
Investment - Saving curve
How is the IS curve derived?
Keynesian-cross model
Vary I.R + find associated level of Equilibrium Income
What does changing the I.R do?
Changes Planned Expenditure- C + I affected
How is the IS curve formed?
Adjust I.R –> Find associated level of E
- Shift E on Keynesian Cross Model
Find where E crosses 45º line + Join points on IS graph
What does LM mean?
Liquidity - Money curve
What time frame does the IS-LM model describe?
Very SR- Price Levels are Fixed
What does it mean for the LM curve if Price levels are fixed?
Cannot adjust to bring Equilibrium in Money Market
What happens in SR when M.S changes?
Prices do NOT change- I.R adjusts
What varies to make I.R adjust?
Income
e.g. Higher Income –> Higher M.D –> Increased I.R
