The interaction of the IS curve and the LM curve together determine:

interest rate ______ and output ______.
rises; falls
rises; rises
falls; rises

In the IS-LM model, a decrease in government purchases leads to a(n) ______ in planned expenditures,
a(n) ______ in total income, a(n) ______ in money demand, and a(n) ______ in the equilibrium interest
rate.
decrease; decrease; decrease; decrease
increases; increase; increases; increase

In the IS-LM model, the impact of an increase in government purchases in the goods market has
ramifications in the money market, because the increase in income causes a(n) ______ in money ______.
increase; supply
increase; demand
decrease; supply
decrease; demand
increase; demand
In the IS-LM model when taxation increases, in short-run equilibrium, in the usual case, the interest rate
______ and output ______.
rises; falls
rises; rises
falls; rises

If the LM curve is vertical and government spending rises by G, in the IS-LM analysis, then equilibrium
income rises by:
G/(1 – MPC).
more than zero but less than G/(1 – MPC).
G.
zero.
zero.
If MPC = 0.75 (and there are no income taxes) when G increases by 100, then the IS curve for any given
interest rate shifts to the right by:
100.
200.
300.
400.
400.
If MPC = 0.75 (and there are no income taxes but only lump-sum taxes) when T decreases by 100, then the
IS curve for any given interest rate shifts to the right by:
100.
200.
300.
400.
300.
In the IS-LM model under the usual conditions in a closed economy, an increase in government spending
increases the interest rate and crowds out:
prices.
investment.
the money supply.
taxes.
investment.
The increase in income in response to a fiscal expansion in the IS-LM model is:
always less than in the Keynesian-cross model.
less than in the Keynesian-cross model unless the LM curve is vertical.
less than in the Keynesian-cross model unless the LM curve is horizontal.
less than in the Keynesian-cross model unless the IS curve is vertical.
less than in the Keynesian-cross model unless the LM curve is horizontal.
Using the IS-LM analysis, if the LM curve is not horizontal, the multiplier for an increase in government
spending is ______ for an increase in government purchases using the Keynesian-cross analysis.
larger than the multiplier
the same as the multiplier
smaller than the multiplier
sometimes larger and sometimes smaller than the multiplier
smaller than the multiplier
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.
investment is not affected by the interest rate whereas in the IS-LM model fiscal expansion
raises the interest rate and crowds out investment.
In the IS-LM model, changes in taxes initially affect planned expenditures through:
consumption.
investment.
government spending.
the interest rate.
consumption.
In the IS-LM analysis, the increase in income resulting from a tax cut is usually ______ the increase in
income resulting from an equal rise in government spending.
less than
greater than
equal to
sometimes less and sometimes greater than
less than
If the money supply increases, then in the IS-LM analysis the ______ curve shifts to the ______.
LM; left
LM; right
IS; left
IS; right
LM; right
In the IS-LM model when M/P rises, in short-run equilibrium, in the usual case, the interest rate ______ and
output ______.
rises; falls
rises; rises
falls; rises
falls; falls
falls; rises
In the IS-LM model when M rises but P remains constant, in short-run equilibrium, in the usual case, the
interest rate ______ and output ______.
rises; falls
rises; rises
falls; rises
falls; falls
falls; rises
In the IS-LM model when M remains constant but P rises, in short-run equilibrium, in the usual case, the
interest rate ______ and output ______.
rises; falls
rises; rises
falls; rises
falls; falls
rises; falls
If the demand for real money balances does not depend on the interest rate, then the LM curve:
slopes up to the right.
slopes down to the right.
is horizontal.
is vertical.
is vertical.
In the IS-LM model when the Federal Reserve decreases the money supply, people ______ bonds and the
interest rate ______, leading to a(n) ______ in investment and income.
buy; rises; increase
sell; falls; decrease
sell; rises; decrease
buy; rises; decrease
sell; rises; decrease
The monetary transmission mechanism works through the effects of changes in the money supply on:
the budget deficit.
investment.
government expenditures.
taxation.
investment.
The monetary transmission mechanism in the IS-LM model is a process whereby an increase in the money
supply increases the demand for goods and services:
directly.
by lowering the interest rate so that investment spending increases.
by raising the interest rate so that investment spending increases.
by increasing government spending on goods and services.
by lowering the interest rate so that investment spending increases.
If Congress passed a tax increase at the request of the president to reduce the budget deficit, but the Fed
held the money supply constant, then the two policies together would generally lead to ______ income and
a ______ interest rate.
lower; lower
lower; higher
no change in; lower
no change in; higher
lower; lower
According to the IS-LM model, if Congress raises taxes but the Fed wants to hold the interest rate constant,
then the Fed must ______ the money supply.
increase
decrease
first increase and then decrease
first decrease and then increase
decrease
