12CHAPTER
Modified for ECON 2204by Bob Murphy
1CHAPTER 12 Aggregate Demand II
Context
§ Chapter 10 introduced the model of aggregate demand and supply.
§ Chapter 11 developed the IS-LM model, the basis of the aggregate demand curve.
IN THIS CHAPTER, YOU WILL LEARN:
§ how to use the IS-LM model to analyze the effects of shocks, fiscal policy, and monetary policy
§ how to derive the aggregate demand curve from the IS-LM model
§ several theories about what caused the Great Depression

The intersection determines the unique combination of Y and rthat satisfies equilibrium in both markets.
The LM curve represents money market equilibrium.

Interaction between monetary & fiscal policy§ Model:
§ Monetary & fiscal policy variables (M, G, and T ) are exogenous.
§ Real world: § Monetary policymakers may adjust M
in response to changes in fiscal policy, or vice versa.
§ Such interactions may alter the impact of the original policy change.
9CHAPTER 12 Aggregate Demand II
The Fed’s response to ΔG > 0
§ Suppose Congress increases G.
§ Possible Fed responses:
1. hold M constant2. hold r constant3. hold Y constant
§ In each case, the effects of the ΔGare different…

13CHAPTER 12 Aggregate Demand II
Shocks in the IS-LM model
IS shocks: exogenous changes in the demand for goods & services.
Examples: § stock market boom or crash
g change in households’ wealthg ΔC
§ change in business or consumer confidence or expectations g ΔI and/or ΔC
14CHAPTER 12 Aggregate Demand II
Shocks in the IS-LM model
LM shocks: exogenous changes in the demand for money.
Examples:§ A wave of credit card fraud increases
demand for money.§ More ATMs or the Internet reduce money
demand.
NOW YOU TRYAnalyze shocks with the IS-LM model
Use the IS-LM model to analyze the effects of1. a housing market crash that reduces
consumers’ wealth2. consumers using cash in transactions more
frequently in response to an increase in identity theft
For each shock, a. use the IS-LM diagram to determine the effects
on Y and r.b. figure out what happens to C, I, and the
unemployment rate.15

CASE STUDY: The U.S. recession of 2001§ During 2001:
§ 2.1 million jobs lost, unemployment rose from 3.9% to 5.8%.
§ GDP growth slowed to 0.8% (compared to 3.9% average annual growth during 1994–2000).

23CHAPTER 12 Aggregate Demand II
What is the Fed’s policy instrument?§ The news media commonly report the Fed’s policy
changes as interest rate changes, as if the Fed has direct control over market interest rates.
§ In fact, the Fed targets the federal funds rate—the interest rate banks charge one another on overnight loans.
§ The Fed changes the money supply and shifts the LM curve to achieve its target.
§ Other short-term rates typically move with the federal funds rate.
24CHAPTER 12 Aggregate Demand II
What is the Fed’s policy instrument?
Why does the Fed target interest rates instead of the money supply?
1) They are easier to measure than the money supply.
2) The Fed might believe that LM shocks are more prevalent than IS shocks. If so, then targeting the interest rate stabilizes income better than targeting the money supply. (See problem 8 on p.364.)
25CHAPTER 12 Aggregate Demand II
IS-LM and aggregate demand
§ So far, we’ve been using the IS-LM model to analyze the short run, when the price level is assumed fixed.
§ However, a change in P would shift LM and therefore affect Y.
§ The aggregate demand curve(introduced in Chap. 10) captures this relationship between P and Y.

39CHAPTER 12 Aggregate Demand II
THE SPENDING HYPOTHESIS: Shocks to the IS curve§ Asserts the Depression was largely due to
an exogenous fall in the demand for goods & services—a leftward shift of the IS curve.
§ Evidence: output and interest rates both fell, which is what a leftward IS shift would cause.
40CHAPTER 12 Aggregate Demand II
THE SPENDING HYPOTHESIS: Reasons for the IS shift§ Stock market crash reduced consumption
§ Oct 1929–Dec 1929: S&P 500 fell 17%§ Oct 1929–Dec 1933: S&P 500 fell 71%
§ Drop in investment§ Correction after overbuilding in the 1920s.§ Widespread bank failures made it harder to obtain
financing for investment.
§ Contractionary fiscal policy§ Politicians raised tax rates and cut spending to
combat rising deficits.
41CHAPTER 12 Aggregate Demand II
THE MONEY HYPOTHESIS: A shock to the LM curve§ Asserts that the Depression was largely due to
huge fall in the money supply.
§ Evidence: M1 fell 25% during 1929–33.
§ But, two problems with this hypothesis:§ P fell even more, so M/P actually rose slightly
during 1929–31. § nominal interest rates fell, which is the opposite
of what a leftward LM shift would cause.
42CHAPTER 12 Aggregate Demand II
THE MONEY HYPOTHESIS AGAIN: The effects of falling prices§ Asserts that the severity of the Depression was
due to a huge deflation:P fell 25% during 1929–33.
§ This deflation was probably caused by the fall in M, so perhaps money played an important role after all.
§ In what ways does a deflation affect the economy?
43CHAPTER 12 Aggregate Demand II
THE MONEY HYPOTHESIS AGAIN: The effects of falling prices§ The stabilizing effects of deflation:
§ iP g h(M/P) g LM shifts right g hY§ Pigou effect:
iP g h(M/P ) g consumers’ wealth hg hCg IS shifts right g hY
44CHAPTER 12 Aggregate Demand II
THE MONEY HYPOTHESIS AGAIN: The effects of falling prices§ The destabilizing effects of expected deflation:
iEπg r h for each value of ig I i because I = I (r)g planned expenditure & agg. demand ig income & output i
45CHAPTER 12 Aggregate Demand II
THE MONEY HYPOTHESIS AGAIN: The effects of falling prices§ The destabilizing effects of unexpected deflation:
debt-deflation theoryiP (if unexpected)
g transfers purchasing power from borrowers to lenders
g borrowers are now less wealthy, lenders are now more wealthy
g if borrowers’ propensity to spend is larger than lenders’, then aggregate spending falls, the IS curve shifts left, and Y falls
46CHAPTER 12 Aggregate Demand II
Why another Depression is unlikely
§ Policymakers (or their advisers) now know much more about macroeconomics:§ The Fed knows better than to let M fall
so much, especially during a contraction.§ Fiscal policymakers know better than to raise
taxes or cut spending during a contraction.§ Federal deposit insurance makes widespread
bank failures very unlikely.
§ Automatic stabilizers make fiscal policy expansionary during an economic downturn.
47CHAPTER 12 Aggregate Demand II
CASE STUDYThe 2008–09 financial crisis & recession§ 2009: Real GDP fell, u-rate approached 10%
§ Important factors in the crisis:§ early 2000s Federal Reserve interest rate policy § subprime mortgage crisis§ bursting of house price bubble,
rising foreclosure rates§ falling stock prices§ failing financial institutions§ declining consumer confidence, drop in spending
on consumer durables and investment goods
