| Introduction to Macroeconomics TOPIC 4: The IS-LM Model Anna¨ıg Morin CBS - Department of Economics August 2013 Introduction to Macroeconomics TOPIC 4: The IS-LM Model
The IS-LM Model In topic 2 The Goods Market, we isolated the goods market from the financial one by assuming that investment was not a function of the interest rate. In topic 3 The Financial Market, we studied the interest rate and how it is determined on the financial market. Now, lets go back to the goods market and see what changes with the new assumption that investment is a function of the interest rate. Lets study the goods and the financial market together.

1. The goods market 1. The goods market 1.1. What we remember from Topic 2 1.2. Investment 1.3. Determining output 1.4. The IS relation 1.5. Shifts of the IS curve Introduction to Macroeconomics TOPIC 4: The IS-LM Model
1.1. The goods market - What we remember Remember topic 2 The Goods Market: Demand for goods: C (Y D ) + I + G where Y D = Y − T is the disposable income Supply of goods: Y Equilibrium: Y = C (Yd ) + I + G Introduction to Macroeconomics TOPIC 4: The IS-LM Model 1.2. The goods market - Investment Investment is not constant. It depends primarily on two factors: Production (+) Interest rate (-): the higher the interest rate, the more expensive it is to borrow in order to invest, the lower the level of investment. Investment function: I = I (Y , i ) (+,−)
Introduction to Macroeconomics TOPIC 4: The IS-LM Model 1.3. The goods market - Determining output The demand for goods is: C (Y , T ) (+,−) +I (Y , i ) (+,−) +G → the demand for goods is increasing in Y (income/production). Introduction to Macroeconomics TOPIC 4: The IS-LM Model 1.3. The goods market - Determining output Figure: Equilibrium in the goods market Introduction to Macroeconomics TOPIC 4: The IS-LM Model 1.4. The goods market - IS relation Equilibrium: Y = C (Y , T ) (+,−) +I (Y , i ) (+,−) +G This equilibrium condition is called the IS relation. Introduction to Macroeconomics TOPIC 4: The IS-LM Model 1.4. The goods market - IS relation Figure: Effect on the equilibrium level of production of an increase in the interest rate Introduction to Macroeconomics TOPIC 4: The IS-LM Model
1.4. The goods market - IS relation If the interest rate increases, investment drops which pushes down the demand for goods. The equilibrium level of output is lower. → Decreasing relation between the interest rate and equilibrium output. Introduction to Macroeconomics TOPIC 4: The IS-LM Model Figure: Construction of the IS curve Introduction to Macroeconomics TOPIC 4: The IS-LM Model
1.4. The goods market - IS relation The downward-sloping IS curve represents the negative relation between the interest rate and the equilibrium output. All the points on this curve represents an equilibrium on the goods market. Introduction to Macroeconomics TOPIC 4: The IS-LM Model 1.5. The goods market - Shifts of the IS curve What happens if taxes increase? Disposable income drops, consumption drops, demand drops Supply must drop too to maintain the equilibrium. For any level of interest rate, the corresponding level of equilibrium output is now lower → leftward shift of the IS curve. Introduction to Macroeconomics TOPIC 4: The IS-LM Model
1.5. The goods market - Shifts of the IS curve Figure: Effect on the IS curve of an increase in taxes Introduction to Macroeconomics TOPIC 4: The IS-LM Model 1.5. The goods market - Shifts of the IS curve Any change (decrease in government consumption, increase in taxes, decrease in consumer confidence - proxied by c 0 ) that, for a given interest rate, decreases the demand for goods creates a shift of the IS curve to the left. Symmetrically, any change (increase in government consumption, decrease in taxes, increase in consumer confidence - proxied by c 0 )
creates a shift of the IS curve to the right. Introduction to Macroeconomics TOPIC 4: The IS-LM Model

2. The financial market 2. The financial market 2.1. The LM relation 2.2. Shifts of the LM curve Introduction to Macroeconomics TOPIC 4: The IS-LM Model 2.1. The financial market - LM relation Remember topic 3 The Financial Market: Equilibrium: M S = M D = M = $YL(i ) Now lets talk in real terms (because we want an analysis in terms of goods) → We divide by the price level (GDP deflator, denoted by P): Equilibrium: M P = YL(i ) This equilibrium condition is called the LM relation. Introduction to Macroeconomics TOPIC 4: The IS-LM Model 2.1. The financial market - LM relation Figure: Effect on the interest rate of an increase in income Introduction to Macroeconomics TOPIC 4: The IS-LM Model 2.1. The financial market - LM relation If income increases, the demand for money increases at any given interest rate. Given that the supply of money is fixed, the interest rate must increase to lower the demand for money and maintain the equilibrium. → Increasing relation between the interest rate and output. Introduction to Macroeconomics TOPIC 4: The IS-LM Model 2.1. The financial market - LM relation Figure: Construction of the LM curve Introduction to Macroeconomics TOPIC 4: The IS-LM Model 2.1. The financial market - LM relation The upward-sloping LM curve represents the positive relation between the interest rate and output. All the points on this curve represents an equilibrium on the financial market. Introduction to Macroeconomics TOPIC 4: The IS-LM Model
2.2. The financial market - Shifts of the LM curve What happens if the nominal money supply increases? Real money supply goes up Demand for money should go up too, to maintain equilibrium: the interest rate must decrease For any level of output, the corresponding level of interest rate is now lower → downward shift of the LM curve. Introduction to Macroeconomics TOPIC 4: The IS-LM Model 2.2. The financial market - Shifts of the LM curve Figure: Effect on the LM curve of an increase in money supply Introduction to Macroeconomics TOPIC 4: The IS-LM Model 2.2. The financial market - Shifts of the LM curve An increase in the money supply causes the LM curve to shift down. Symmetrically, a decrease in the money supply causes the LM curve to shift up.

3.1. The IS-LM model - An equilibrium concept IS relation: the supply of goods must be equal to the demand for goods LM relation: the supply of money must be equal to the demand for money Introduction to Macroeconomics TOPIC 4: The IS-LM Model
3.1. The IS-LM model - An equilibrium concept Figure: The IS-LM model Introduction to Macroeconomics TOPIC 4: The IS-LM Model 3.2. The IS-LM model - Fiscal policy Fiscal policy: Fiscal contraction (or fiscal consolidation): decrease in the budget deficit G − T decrease in government spending increase in taxes Fiscal expansion: increase in the budget deficit G − T increase in government spending decrease in taxes Introduction to Macroeconomics TOPIC 4: The IS-LM Model
3.2. The IS-LM model - Fiscal policy What happens when taxes increase? Leftward shift of the IS curve. Why? No shift of the LM curve. Why? The increase in taxes shifts the IS curve. The LM curve does not shift, the economy moves along the LM curve. Introduction to Macroeconomics TOPIC 4: The IS-LM Model 3.2. The IS-LM model - Fiscal policy When taxes increase: Consumption goes down, leading to a decrease in output/income. The decrease in income reduces the demand for money. Given that the supply of money is fixed, the interest rate must decrease to push up the demand for money and maintain the equilibrium. Introduction to Macroeconomics TOPIC 4: The IS-LM Model 3.2. The IS-LM model - Fiscal policy NB: the decrease in output is limited by the positive effect of a decrease in the interest rate on investment (even though we don’t know if investment increases or decreases). Introduction to Macroeconomics TOPIC 4: The IS-LM Model 3.2. The IS-LM model - Fiscal policy Figure: The effects of an increase in taxes Introduction to Macroeconomics TOPIC 4: The IS-LM Model 3.3.The IS-LM model - Monetary policy Monetary policy: Monetary contraction (or monetary tightening): decrease in the money supply Monetary expansion: increase in the money supply Introduction to Macroeconomics TOPIC 4: The IS-LM Model
3.3. The IS-LM model - Monetary policy What happens when the money supply increases? No shift of the IS curve. Why? Downward shift of the LM curve. Why? The increase in taxes shifts the LM curve. The IS curve does not shift, the economy moves along the IS curve. Introduction to Macroeconomics TOPIC 4: The IS-LM Model 3.3. The IS-LM model - Monetary policy When money supply increases: To maintain the equilibrium, the demand for money should go up. For that to happen, the interest rate must decrease. The decrease in the interest rate favor investment, demand for goods and equilibrium output. Introduction to Macroeconomics TOPIC 4: The IS-LM Model 3.3. The IS-LM model - Monetary policy NB: the decrease in the interest rate is limited by the positive effect of an increase in output on investment, and therefore on output.

The IS-LM model - Fiscal and monetary policies Figure: The effects of fiscal and monetary policy Introduction to Macroeconomics TOPIC 4: The IS-LM Model 3.5. The IS-LM model - Policy Mix The combination of monetary and fiscal policies is called the policy mix. Bigger impact on output Allows a change in the output level without a too large change in the interest rate. Introduction to Macroeconomics TOPIC 4: The IS-LM Model 3.5. The IS-LM model - Policy Mix Figure: The policy mix against the recession of 2001 Introduction to Macroeconomics TOPIC 4: The IS-LM Model Conclusion We studied the goods and financial markets separately and together. But until now, we made a big assumption: we ignored the possible interactions between an economy and the rest of the world, on the goods and the financial markets. Now, lets relax this assumption and analyze an open economy. Introduction to Macroeconomics TOPIC 4: The IS-LM Model Yüklə 0,89 Mb. Dostları ilə paylaş:
