What is LM curve?
● The LM Curve is a locus of points showing alternative combinations of
the rate of interest and level of income that brings about equilibrium in
the money market.
● LM relation is written as:
M/ P = Y L(i)
Real money, Real income and the Interest rate
Nominal income divided by the price level equals real income, Y. Dividing
both sides of the equation by the price level P gives:
M/P=YL(i)
Hence, we can restate our equilibrium condition as the condition that the
real money supply—that is, the money stock in terms of goods, be equal to
the real money demand, which depends on real income, Y, and the interest
rate, i.

Consider an increase in the nominal money
supply, from M to M’. Given the fixed price
level, the real money supply increases from
M>P to M’>P. Then, at any level of income, i
say Y, the interest rate consistent with
equilibrium in financial markets is lower,
Interest Rate
going down from i to, say, i’. The LM curve
shifts down, from LM to LM’. By the same i’
reasoning, at any level of income, a decrease
in the money supply leads to an increase in
the interest rate. It causes the LM curve to
shift up. Output Y
The IS-LM Model
Putting IS-LM Relations Together
● The IS relation follows from the condition that the supply of goods
must be equal to the demand for goods.
● The LM relation follows from the condition that the supply of money
must be equal to the demand for money.
LM relation: M/ P = Y L(i)
IS-LM Model
Equilibrium in the goods market implies
X
that an increase in the interest rate leads
LM
to a decrease in output. This is
represented by the IS curve. Equilibrium
in financial markets implies that an
increase in output leads to an increase in A
Interest Rate
the interest rate. This is represented by
the LM curve. Only at point A, which is on
both curves, are both goods and financial

markets in equilibrium.

What is Fiscal Policy?
Fiscal policy is the means by which a government adjusts its spending
levels and tax rates to monitor and influence a nation's economy.
