JNU SIS 2012 Question 21: IS-LM model

Consider the following form of the IS-LM model, where expected inflation is zero (πe=0\pi^e = 0πe=0) and net exports (NXNXNX) are also zero :

C=c0+c1(Y−T)C = c_0 + c_1(Y - T)C=c0​+c1​(Y−T)

I=b0+b1Y−b2iI = b_0 + b_1Y - b_2iI=b0​+b1​Y−b2​i

MdP=d1−d2i\frac{M^d}{P} = d_1 - d_2iPMd​=d1​−d2​i

Ms=MM^s = MMs=M

where CCC is the consumption, YYY is the income, TTT represents taxes, III is the investment, iii is the rate of interest, MdM^dMd is the money demand, PPP is the price level and MsM^sMs is money supply. Let GGG denote government spending. Then, the short-equilibrium (pair (Y,i)(Y, i)(Y,i)) that makes goods and money market to be in equilibrium at the same time is

Note that we define m=11−b1−c1,b1+c1<1m = \frac{1}{1 - b_1 - c_1}, b_1 + c_1 < 1m=1−b1​−c1​1​,b1​+c1​<1

Plain-text version

Consider the following form of the IS-LM model, where expected inflation is zero (π^e = 0) and net exports (NX) are also zero: C = c₀ + c₁(Y - T) I = b₀ + b₁Y - b₂i M^d/P = d₁ - d₂i M^s = M where C is the consumption, Y is the income, T represents taxes, I is the investment, i is the rate of interest, M^d is the money demand, P is the price level and M^s is money supply. Let G denote government spending. Then, the short-equilibrium (pair (Y, i)) that makes goods and money market to be in equilibrium at the same time is Note that we define m = 1/(1 - b₁ - c₁), b₁ + c₁ < 1 (A) i* = (md₁(c₀ - c₁T + G) - M/P)/(b₂md₁ + d₂); Y* = 1/d₁[M/P + d₂ (md₁(c₀ - c₁T + G) - M/P)/(b₂md₁ + d₂)] (B) i* = (md₁(c₀ - c₁T + b₀ + G) - M/P)/(b₂md₁ + d₂); Y* = 1/d₁[M/P + d₂ (md₁(c₀ - c₁T + b₀ + G) - M/P)/(b₂md₁ + d₂)] (C) i* = (md₂(c₀ - c₁T + b₀ + G) - M/P)/(b₂md₂ + d₁); Y* = 1/d₂[M/P + d₁ (md₂(c₀ - c₁T + b₀ + G) - M/P)/(b₁md₂ + d₁)] (D) i* = (m(c₀ - c₁T + b₀ + G) - M/P)/(b₂m + d₂); Y* = [M/P + d₂ (m(c₀ - c₁T + b₀ + G) - M/P)/(b₂m + d₂)]

Also written as: Consider the following form of the IS-LM model, where expected inflation is zero (pi^e = 0) and net exports (NX) are also zero: C = c_0 + c_1(Y - T) I = b_0 + b_1Y - b_2i M^d/P = d_1 - d_2i M^s = M where C is the consumption, Y is the income, T represents taxes, I is the investment, i is the rate of interest, M^d is the money demand, P is the price level and M^s is money supply. Let G denote government spending. Then, the short-equilibrium (pair (Y, i)) that makes goods and money market to be in equilibrium at the same time is Note that we define m = 1/(1 - b_1 - c_1), b_1 + c_1 < 1
