Q

The reason that the income response to a fiscal expansion is generally less in the IS-LM model than it is in
the Keynesian-cross model is that the Keynesian-cross model assumes that:

investment is not affected by the interest rate whereas in the IS-LM model fiscal expansion
raises the interest rate and crowds out investment.

investment is not affected by the interest rate whereas in the IS-LM model fiscal expansion
lowers the interest rate and crowds out investment.

investment is autonomous whereas in the IS-LM model fiscal expansion encourages higher
investment, which raises the interest rate.

the price level is fixed whereas in the IS-LM model it is allowed to vary.

A

investment is not affected by the interest rate whereas in the IS-LM model fiscal expansion
raises the interest rate and crowds out investment.

90
If consumption is given by C = 200 + 0.75(Y – T) and investment is given by I = 200 – 25r, then the formula for the IS curve is: ``` Y = 400 – 0.75T – 25r + G. Y = 1,600 – 3T – 100r + 4G. Y = 400 + 0.75T – 25r – G. Y = 1,600 + 3T – 100r – 4G. ```
