The Goods Marketand the Money Market
The goods market is the market in which goods and services are exchanged and in which the equilibrium level of aggregate output is determined.
The money market is the market in which financial instruments are exchanged and in which the equilibrium level of the interest rate is determined.

The Links Between the GoodsMarket and the Money Market
There is a value of output (income) (Y) and a level of the interest rate (r) that are consistent with the existence of equilibrium in both markets.
This chapter examines how monetary and fiscal policies affect the level of output, interest rates, and investment spending.

The Links Between the GoodsMarket and the Money Market
Planned investment depends on the interest rate and money demand depends on income.

Link 1: Income and the Demand for Money
Income, which is determined in the goods market, has considerable influence on the demand for money in the money market.
• When income falls, the demand for money falls and the interest rate falls.

Link 2: Planned Investmentand the Interest Rate
The interest rate, which is determined in the money market, has significant effects on planned investment in the goods market.
• When the interest rate rises, planned investment falls (fewer projects are likely to be undertaken).

Investment, the Interest Rateand the Goods Market
An increase in the interest rate from 3 percent to 6 percent lowers planned aggregate expenditure and thus reduces equilibrium income from Y0 to Y1. r I A E Y

Money Demand, Aggregate Output (Income), and the Money Market
Changes in aggregate output (income), which take place in the goods market, shift the money demand curve and cause changes in the interest rate.

Expansionary Policy Effects
Expansionary fiscal policy is either an increase in government spending or a reduction in net taxes aimed at increasing aggregate output (income) (Y).
Expansionary monetary policy is an increase in the money supply aimed at increasing aggregate output (income) (Y).

The Crowding-Out Effect
The crowding-out effect is the tendency for increases in government spending to cause reductions in private investment spending.

The Crowding-Out Effect
The crowding-out effect depends on the sensitivity or insensitivity of planned investment spending to changes in the interest rate.
Interest sensitivity means that planned investment spending changes a great deal in response to changes in the interest rate.

Expansionary Monetary Policy:An Increase in the Money Supply
An increase in the money supply decreases the interest rate and increases investment and income.
• However, the simultaneous increase in the demand for money keeps the interest rate from falling as far as it otherwise would.

Fed Accommodation of an Expansionary Fiscal Policy
An expansionary fiscal policy (higher government spending or lower taxes) will increase aggregate output (income).
• In turn, higher income will shift the money demand curve to the right, and put upward pressure on the interest rate.

Fed Accommodation of an Expansionary Fiscal Policy
If the money supply were unchanged following an increase in the demand for money, the interest rate would rise.
• But if the Fed were to “accommodate” the fiscal expansion, the interest rate would not rise.

The IS-LM Diagram
The IS curve shows a negative relationship between the equilibrium value of Y and r.
Each point on the curve represents equilibrium in the goods market for a given value of the interest rate.

The IS-LM Diagram
The LM curve shows a positive relationship between the equilibrium value of Y and r.
Each point on the curve represents equilibrium in the money market for a given value of aggregate output (income).
• The LM curve is upward-sloping because higher income results in higher demand for money and a higher interest rate.

An increase in government spending shifts the IS curve to the right.

The IS-LM Diagram
It is easy to use the IS/LM diagram to see how there can be a monetary and fiscal policy mix that leads to a particular outcome.
• Here, an increase in the money supply accompanied by an increase in government spending leads to an increase in aggregate output, with no change in the interest rate.
