The IS curve
The IS curve tells us that any Y can be
equilibrium depending on the value of r. Butsurely there can be only one equilibrium Y forgiven values of exogenous variables.
How can we find it? For this we need anotherrelationship between r and Y. We find it fromthe LM curve.

The LM Curve
We get LM curve from the money market.
LM curve shows the relationship betweenthe interest rate and the level of incomethat arises in the money market.

Money Market
Uses of money:
Medium of exchange
Store of value
Unit of account
Demand for money:
Transactions demand (+ Y)
Speculative demand (- r)
Overall:
(M/P)d = aY lr
Supply of money:
Fixed by central bank

Money Market
Central bank has a balance sheet consistingof its assets and liabilities.
Feds assets consists of its holdings ofgovernment bonds
And its liabilities are of two kinds: currency
that it printed and the total bank reserves thatit holds on deposits for the commercial banks

Money Market
Suppose Fed owns $400 billion ofgovernment bonds, and its liabilities consist of
$200 billion of currency and $200 billion ofbank reserves.
The total liability of the Fed is called the
monetary base which is $400 billion.

Money Market
Money supply (Ms) consists of currency (say$200 b) and checking deposits at the banks.
Say, banks are supposed to hold 10% of theirchecking deposits as reserves. If bankreserves are $200 b, then checking depositsmust be $2000.
Thus Ms is the total of $200 b of currency and$2000 b checking deposits a total of $2200b

Money Market
Money supply (Ms) is equal to monetary basetimes the money multiplier
(Ms) = monetary base the money multiplier.
(Ms) z monetary base = Money multiplier
Money multiplier = $2,200z
$ 400 = 5.5 (Ms) = $400 5.5 = $2,200

Money Market
The amount of money that people demand inreal terms depends both on income andinterest rate
Real money balances equal the total moneysupply divided by the price level (Ms/P).
Demand for real money balances changes
with changes in real income.

Money Market
Let demand for real money balances (M/P)d
equals the half of the real income (Y):
(M/P)d = 0.5Y
If real income is $8,000 billion, the demandfor real money balances is:
0.5 8,000 = $4,000

The Demand forMoney, the InterestRate, and RealIncome
The vertical line L isdrawn on an unrealisticassumption thatdemand for real moneybalances is equal to
half of real income($8000b) but does notdepend on interestrate.

Money Market
The downward sloping L0 line shows thatwhen rate of interest is zero, demand for real
money balances is $4,000.
As interest rate rises from zero to 5%, peoplecut down their money holdings to $3,000 and
it goes down to $2,000 when rate of interestrises to 10%.

Money Market
We draw the equation for the demand for realmoney balances which is half the real income
minus $200 billion times the interest rate
(M/P)d = aY lr

Money Market
A change in the interest rate moves theeconomy up and down its real money
demand schedule
However, a change in real output (Y) shiftsthe demand schedule to the left or right.

Money Market
At any given interest rate, the change in theamount of money demanded is given by
((M/P)d = 0.5Y
Between point F and C, the interest rate is thesame, output falls by 2,000 and the demand
for money declines by $1.000.

Money Market Equilibrium
Money market is in equilibrium when thedemand for money and the supply of it are
equal and the equilibrium rate of interest isdetermined at that equilibrium
If income rises, demand for real money
balances curve shifts to the right and withfixed Ms equilibrium occurs at higher interestrate and vice versa.

Derivation of the LM curve
Vertical line shows the supply of money given by the government
Equilibrium is at the crossing of the demandfor money and the supply of money schedule
When income is $8,000 billion equilibrium is
at F rate of interest is 10%.

Derivation of the LM curve
When income falls to $6,000 equilibriumoccurs at G rate of interest falls to 5%.
LM curve shows this relationship with incomeand the rate of interest
At lower income (demand for money is low)
rate of interest is low and vice versa.

Derivation of the LM curve
LM curve represents all combinations of
income (Y) and interest rate (r) where themoney market is in equilibrium that is wherethe supply of real money balances is equal tothe demand for money.

LM Curve in Equations
Demand for money:
(M/P)d = aY - lr
Supply of money: Ms
Money market equilibrium:
Ms/P = (M/P)d = aY lr or
lr = - (Ms/P) + aY or
r = - (Ms/P)/l + (a/l)Y p the LM equation
Intercept = - Ms/l < 0
Slope = (a/l)Y > 0

Shift in the LM curve
We take the money supply as given whilederiving the LM curve.
If government changes the supply of money, the
LM curve shifts. Increase in money supply shifts the LM curve to
the right
Decrease in money supply shifts the LM curveto the left

IS-LM Equilibrium in Equations
IS curve:
r = Apn/h - {(1 c)/h}Y [1]
LM curve:
r = - (Ms/P)/l + (a/l)Y [2]
Solving [1] and [2], we get the {r*, Y*}combination for which the product and moneymarkets are simultaneously in equilibrium.

Shift in the IS-LM model
The IS-LM model determine two endogenousvariables, real income and interest rate.
The exogenous variables that the model does
not explain are, the level of consumer andbusiness confidence, the money supply, govt.expenditure and tax revenue and net exports.
Whenever there is a change in one of theseexogenous variables then either of the twoendogenous variables or both of them willchange

IS-LM Equilibrium in Equations
Monetary policy:
Expansionary monetary policy:
Money supply increases
Interest rate falls Private investment increases
Expenditure and income increases throughmultiplier effect
Contractionary monetary policy works inopposite direction

Expansionary Fiscal Policy and CrowdingOut
Crowding out effect describes the effect of an
increase in government spending or reductionof tax in reducing those components ofprivate spending that are sensitive to interestrate (e.g., investment and autonomous
consumption).

Expansionary Fiscal Policy and CrowdingOut
In the figure the IS curve shifts due to increasein govt. expenditure by $500 billion
The original multiplier of k = 4.0 would move
the economy E0 to E2 where the income is$2,000 billion higher ($9,000).
But E2 can not be equilibrium as it is off the LMcurve.
Equilibrium is at E2 where increase in incomeis 1,000) and the multiplier has become 2.0(1000z 500 = 2)
-

33/45
4-33
Expansionary Fiscal Policy and CrowdingOut
At E2 income is higher than at E0
At higher income demand for money riseswhereas the supply of money is constant atMs/P = 2,000.
There is an excess demand for money
Therefore, interest rate must rise
-
8/6/2019 MBA Lectures 8 - 9
34/45
4-34
Expansionary Fiscal Policy and CrowdingOut
The increase in interest rate from 7.5% to 10%cuts private autonomous planned consumptionand investment spending. This is crowding out.
As a result, equilibrium income falls from E2
New equilibrium occurs at E3 where both themoney market and commodity market is in
equilibrium but income rises by $1,000 billion.
Because of crowding out income has not risenas much as it would have.

Avoiding Crowding Out
Crowding out will not occur under twoconditions:
If for some reasons interest rate does not
rise, or
If interest rate rises but autonomous
private spending is insensitive to interestrate
-

4-36
Avoiding Crowding Out
Simple solution: Increase money supply to shift the LM curverightward by the same amount as the IS curve(interest rate does not rise) or
If the demand for money did not depend on
income (interest rate does not rise) Hypothetical cases where crowding out will
not occur: (a) vertical IS curve (spending is not sensitive to
interest rate) (b) LM curve is horizontal interest rate is
infinitely responsive to demand for money (interestrate does not rise).

Top frame shows the normal effect of anincrease in money supply.
Interest rate fell to r1
and real incomeincreases to Y1. Crowding out effect (Y1 Y2)
Bottom frame shows that same increase in Msleads to a greater drop in interest rate r4 and
higher increase in real income Y2;no crowdingout

Avoiding Crowding Out
Top frame shows higher money supply doesnot stimulate expenditures since they areassumed to be independent of the interest
rate the IS curve is vertical.
In the bottom frame the LM curve is so flatthat the same increase in money supply
hardly reduces interest rate and hardlyincreases income

Avoiding Crowding Out
Top frame - infinite interest responsiveness -the interest rate is fixed and no crowding outcan occur.
Bottom frame - same fiscal stimulus has noeffect on income when interestresponsiveness is zero.
No growth at all in income from E0 to E8 -crowding out is complete

Using Fiscal and Monetary Policy Together
The effect of fiscal policy depends on the kindof monetary policy pursued at the same time.
Fiscal policy will shift the IS curve; but thefinal outcome depends on how the LM shiftsat the same time and that depends on whatthe Fed does with money supply and interestrate.

Using Fiscal and Monetary Policy Together
Figure 4-10 shows that with any given shift inthe IS curve, the level of income will dependon monetary policy as follows:
If the real money supply is held constant, the LMcurve does not shift rise in income is partlycrowded out (top left frame).
If a fixed interest rate is maintained, LM shift to thesame extent as IS income rises fully, there is nocrowding out (top right frame).
Fed attempts to keep real income constant LMshift to the left. Interest rate rises, income does noti.e., full crowding out (bottom frame).
