1) Equilibrium output will rise and the equilibrium interest rate will fall if :
A) government spending increases B) net exports increase. C) there is an autonomous increase in money demand D) the Fed increases the money supply
2) In the IS/LM model
A) the money supply is always fixed B) consumptions expenditures are fixed C) the price level is fixed D) the level of real GDP is fixed
3)Changes in monetary policy shift the LM curve, while changes in fiscal policy shift the IS curve
True or False
1) D) the Fed increases the money supply
(As money supply is increased, LM curve shifts downward to the
right which decreases the equilibrium interest rate and increases
the equilibrium output with given IS curve.)
2) C) the price level is fixed
(Real money supply is taken in IS/LM model. Real money supply =
money supply/Price level. Price level is taken to be exogenous so
that any shift in LM curve is due to changes in the money
supply.)
3) True
(Changes in fiscal policy means changes in government spending and
taxes which shift the IS curve as it represents the equilibrium in
good market. Change in monetary policy means change in money supply
which shifts LM curve as LM curve represents equilibrium in money
market.)
