What does the IS-LM model illustrate?
The IS-LM model illustrates the relationship between interest rates and income/output.
economics is-lm -
How does an increase in price level (P) affect the LM curve?
A higher price level (P) shifts the LM curve upward.
economics lm_curve -
What does the Aggregate Demand (AD) curve represent?
The Aggregate Demand curve summarizes the relationship between price level (P) and income (Y).
economics ad_curve -
What happens to income (Y) when the LM curve shifts upward due to a higher price level (P)?
Stays the same
Increases
Fluctuates
Decreases
economics ad_curve -
What happens to the LM curve during expansionary monetary policy?
The LM curve shifts to the right, lowering interest rates.
economics monetary_policy -
What is the effect of expansionary monetary policy on income (Y)?
Income (Y) increases at each value of price level (P).
economics income -
How does the AD curve react to expansionary monetary policy?
The AD curve shifts to the right, indicating increased aggregate demand.
economics aggregate_demand -
What is a primary goal of expansionary monetary policy?
Increase aggregate demand
Decrease income
Increase interest rates
Reduce inflation
economics monetary_policy -
In expansionary monetary policy, a decrease in the interest rate leads to an increase in investment (\(I\)) and subsequently income (\(Y\)): \(↑M → LM ext{ shifts right} → ↓r → ↑I → ↑Y\).

-
What is depicted in the IS-LM model related to expansionary monetary policy?
A shift of the LM curve to the right lowers interest rates and increases income.
economics is-lm_model -
What does the rightward shift of the AD curve indicate?
It indicates an increase in aggregate demand at any given price level.
economics aggregate_demand -
What happens to aggregate demand during an expansionary fiscal policy?
Aggregate demand increases due to fiscal policy measures like increasing government spending (↑G) or decreasing taxes (↓T).
economics fiscal_policy -
In expansionary fiscal policy, increasing government spending (↑G) leads to a shift in the IS curve to the right, which results in an increase in Y at each value of P.
economics is_curve -
What is the graphical representation of expansionary fiscal policy?
It is illustrated by shifts in the IS curve and the AD curve to the right, increasing income.
economics graphs -
What is the primary outcome of shifting the IS curve in an expansionary fiscal policy?
The primary outcome is an increase in income (Y) at each price level (P).
economics income -
What do the two graphs of the IS-LM model illustrate during an expansionary policy?
They illustrate the IS curve shifting to the right, indicating increased income and aggregate demand.

In short-run equilibrium, what happens if Y > Ȳ?
Price level will fall.
Price level will rise.
Price level is unchanged.
Price level will remain constant.

-
What equilibrium does the economy move from in the IS-LM model?
From a short-run (Keynesian) equilibrium at K to a long-run (Classical) equilibrium at C.

In the Aggregate Supply and Demand model, what causes the shift in curves?
Falling price levels lead to shifts in the SRAS and AD curves.
economics ad-as -
economics is-lm ad-as
-
In the IS-LM model, as Y moves from K to C, the LM and SRAS curves shift due to a fall in price levels. The short-run equilibrium is at K and the long-run equilibrium is at C.
economics is-lm ad-as -
What do the IS-LM and AD-AS models illustrate?
They illustrate the interaction between interest rates, income, and price levels in an economy.

How was industrial production during the Great Depression affected compared to peak levels?
It significantly decreased, as shown in the graph.

What does the graph provided illustrate?
A comparison of industrial production during the Great Depression and the Great Recession.

What does the spending hypothesis assert about the Depression?
The Depression was largely due to an exogenous fall in the demand for goods and services—a leftward shift of the IS curve.
economics depression is_curve -
The spending hypothesis states that the Depression was due to an exogenous fall in the demand for goods and services, causing a leftward shift of the IS curve.
economics depression is_curve -
What evidence supports the spending hypothesis?
Output and interest rates both fell, consistent with a leftward shift of the IS curve.

The Pigou effect states that ↓P leads to ↑(M/P), which causes consumers' wealth to ↑, increasing C and shifting the IS curve right, leading to ↑Y.

What happens to borrowers' and lenders' spending when deflation occurs?
- Borrowers spend less
- Lenders spend more
economics deflation -
If borrowers' propensity to spend is larger than lenders', then aggregate spending falls, causing the IS curve to shift left and Y to fall.

- Policymakers know more about macroeconomics.
- The Fed avoids M drops during contractions.

Why does the AD curve have a negative slope?
Because an increase in P leads to a decrease in (M/P), which raises r, lowers I, and decreases Y.
