Policy Analysis with the IS/LM
Model

A Closer Look at Monetary and Fiscal Policy

Effects of Monetary and Fiscal
Policy in the IS/LM Model
Fiscal Policy

Expansionary fiscal policy shifts the IS curve to

the right
Contractionary fiscal policy shifts the IS curve
to the left

Monetary Policy
Expansionary monetary policy shifts the LM

curve to the right
Contractionary monetary policy shifts the LM
curve to the left

3
Fiscal Policy and Crowding Out
When government expenditures increase,

output and income begin to increase.
The increase in income increases the demand
for money.
The increase in money demand increases the
interest rate.
Higher interest rates cause a decrease in
investment, offsetting some of the
expansionary effect of the increase in
government spending.

4
Real Interest Rate (%)

1. The multiplier is 2 and
government spending increases by
$500, so the IS increases by $1000.

2. The increase in income
increases money demand
which increases interest
rates from 4% to 5%.

LM

3. The increase in the interest
rate causes a decrease in
investment so that the increase
in income is only $600, less that
the full multiplier effect.

2. If the demand for money

the increase in government spending.

Ineffective Fiscal Policy

When complete crowding out occurs, fiscal

policy is ineffective, changing only interest
rates, not output.
Crowding out is greater if:
Money demand is very sensitive to income

changes
Money demand is not very sensitive to interest
rate changes

7
The IS-LM model shows that monetary policy influences income
by
changing the interest rate. supply raises income. But we didn’t
discuss how a monetary
expansion induces greater spending on goods and services—a
process
called the monetary transmission mechanism.
The IS-LM model shows that an increase in the money supply
lowers
the interest rate, which stimulates investment and thereby
expands the
demand for goods and services.
+∆ M

Consider an increase in the money supply.
r IS
LM
LM′
A
B
Y

The LM curve shifts downward and lowers the interest rate which raises income.
Why? Because when the Fed increases the supply of money, people have more
money than they want to hold at the prevailing interest rate. As a result, they start
depositing this extra money in banks or use it to buy bonds.
The interest rate r then falls until people are willing to hold all the extra
money that the Fed has created; this brings the money market to a new
equilibrium. The lower interest rate, in turn, has ramifications for the goods
market. A lower interest rate stimulates planned investment, which increases
planned expenditure, production, and income Y.
Real Interest Rate (%)

The Fed increases the
money supply which
decreases interest rates
and increases investment
and output.

Ineffective Monetary Policy

Investment is not sensitive to the interest rate
If investment does not respond to interest rate

changes (the IS curve is steep), monetary policy
in ineffective in changing output.

Liquidity trap
If increases in the money supply fail to lower

interest rates, monetary policy is ineffective in
increasing output.

You probably noticed from the IS and LM diagrams that r and Y
were on the two axes. Now we’re going to bring a third variable, the
price level (P) into the analysis. We can accomplish this by linking
both two-dimensional graphs.
LM(P2)
To derive AD, start at point A in the top
r IS
LM(P1) graph. Now increase the price level from
P1 to P2.
B
An increase in P lowers the value of real money
A
balances, and Y, shifting LM leftward to point
B.
Notice that r increased. Since r increased, we know
Y that investment will decrease, as it just got more
P
costly to take on various investment projects. This
B
P2
sets off a multiplier process since -∆ I causes a –∆ Y
A
P1
The - ∆ Y triggers -∆ C as we move up the IS curve
AD
The +∆ P triggers a sequence of events that end
Y
with a -∆ Y, the inverse relationship that defines
the downward slope of AD.
+ ∆G

Y = C (Y-T) + I(r) + G

Suppose there is a
+∆ G.

This translates into a rightward shift of the IS and AD curves.

r
In the short run, we move along SRAS from
point A to point B.
But as the output market clears, in the long-run,
the price level will increase from P0 to P2.
This +∆ P decreases the value of real money
P
balances, which translates into a leftward
shift of the LM curve.

The spending hypothesis suggests that perhaps the cause of the
decline may have been a contractionary shift of the IS curve.

The money hypothesis attempts to explain the effects of the historical
fall of the money supply of 25 percent from 1929 to 1933, during which
time unemployment rose from 3.2 percent to 25.2 percent.

Some economists say that deflation worsened the Great Depression.
They argue that the deflation may have turned what in 1931 was a
typical economic downturn into an unprecedented period of high
unemployment and depressed income. Because the falling money
supply was possibly responsible for the falling price level, it could
very well have been responsible for the severity of the depression. Let’s
see how changes in the price level affect income in the IS-LM model.

The Financial Crisis and the
Economic Downturn of 2008 and
2009

In 2008, the economy experienced a financial crisis stemming
mainly from the 20% fall in housing prices across the nation.
This had four main repercussions:
1) Rise in mortgage defaults and house foreclosures
2) Large losses at the various financial institutions that owned
Mortgage-backed securities
3) Rise in stock market volatility, which led to a decline in
consumer confidence
In January 2009, President Barack Obama proposed to
increase he proposed to increase government spending to
stimulate AD.This is almost surely not going to prevent the
economy from dipping further into a downward spiral.

  • 22. You probably noticed from the IS and LM diagrams that r and Y were on the two axes. Now we’re going to bring a third variable, the price level (P) into the analysis. We can accomplish this by linking both two-dimensional graphs. LM(P2) To derive AD, start at point A in the top r IS LM(P1) graph. Now increase the price level from P1 to P2. B An increase in P lowers the value of real money A balances, and Y, shifting LM leftward to point B. Notice that r increased. Since r increased, we know Y that investment will decrease, as it just got more P costly to take on various investment projects. This B P2 sets off a multiplier process since -∆ I causes a –∆ Y A P1 The - ∆ Y triggers -∆ C as we move up the IS curve AD The +∆ P triggers a sequence of events that end Y with a -∆ Y, the inverse relationship that defines the downward slope of AD.

But as the output market clears, in the long-run, the price level will increase from P0 to P2. This +∆ P decreases the value of real money P balances, which translates into a leftward shift of the LM curve. P2 P0 M/ P = L (r, Y) Finally, this leaves us at point C in both diagrams.

For the variables Y, P, and r, you can read the effects right off the diagrams Y +, because Y moved from Y* to Y´ P 0, because prices are sticky in the SR. r +, because a +∆ Y leads to a rise in r as IS slides along the LM curve.

  • 32. The spending hypothesis suggests that perhaps the cause of the decline may have been a contractionary shift of the IS curve. The money hypothesis attempts to explain the effects of the historical fall of the money supply of 25 percent from 1929 to 1933, during which time unemployment rose from 3.2 percent to 25.2 percent. Some economists say that deflation worsened the Great Depression. They argue that the deflation may have turned what in 1931 was a typical economic downturn into an unprecedented period of high unemployment and depressed income. Because the falling money supply was possibly responsible for the falling price level, it could very well have been responsible for the severity of the depression. Let’s see how changes in the price level affect income in the IS-LM model.

A Mankiw A Mankiw Macroeconomics Macroeconomics Case Study Case Study The Financial Crisis and the Economic Downturn of 2008 and 2009 In 2008, the economy experienced a financial crisis stemming mainly from the 20% fall in housing prices across the nation. This had four main repercussions: 1) Rise in mortgage defaults and house foreclosures 2) Large losses at the various financial institutions that owned Mortgage-backed securities 3) Rise in stock market volatility, which led to a decline in consumer confidence In January 2009, President Barack Obama proposed to increase he proposed to increase government spending to stimulate AD.This is almost surely not going to prevent the economy from dipping further into a downward spiral.
