Suppose that the LM curve is vertical. This implies that:

	a.	output depends on neither government spending nor the money supply
	b.	output depends only on the money supply
	c.	output depends on both government spending and the money supply
	d.	output depends only on government spending

Expert Solution

When the LM curve is vertical, it implies that change in the IS curve will not affect the output level in the economy and it will only lead to change in the interest-rate, therefore, the right answer is option b, that is, output depends only on the money supply. As money supply curve will shift the LM curve to the right or the left depending on the type of the monetory policy.

Suppose that the government wants to raise investment but keep output constant. In the IS-LM model, what mix of monetary and fiscal policy will achieve this goal? In the early 1980’s, the US government cut taxes and ran a budget deficit while the Fed pursued tight monetary policy. What effect should this policy mix have?

The derivation of the LM curve assumes that MS is exogenous. But suppose instead that the Central Bank has some target interest rate ¯r and that it adjusts MS to keep r always equal to ¯r. (a) With this policy, what is the slope of the LM curve? (b) With this policy, what is the slope of AD curve?

3. Using the IS-LM graphs, show that a decrease in government spending will cause output and interest rates to fall. 4. Using the IS-LM graphs, show what will happen to output and the interest rates if there is a balanced budget increase in spending—that is higher spending financed by higher taxes. 5. Using IS-LM graphs, predict what will happen to output and the interest rate if the central bank reduces the money supply.
