Fiscal and monetary policy

Goods and Money Market Equilibrium and the Real Economy

The Story So Far (Yet Again)

• We know that the economy is in equilibrium when Y = AE.

• There is a level of output for which income is equal to

planned aggregate expenditure.

• The components of planned aggregate expenditure are

consumption, investment, and government spending.

• Fiscal policy involves control over government spending

and taxation, which has an effect on Y in the goods market.

• Monetary policy involves control over the money supply,

which has an effect on r in the money market.

Y = C + I + G + (X – M) . . . but this time, with monetary and fiscal policy.

There is a level of ouput or income (Y) and an interest rate (r) that represents an

equilibrium in both markets.

The Real EconomyBringing together the goods market and money market.

But First...

• The goods and money markets are related as follows:

• The goods market determines income, which affects the

demand for money.

• The money market determines the interest rate, which

affects the level of investment.

• Government policies toward the goods and money markets

can be either expansionary or contractionary.

If both fiscal and monetary

policies are expansionary,

output clearly increases.

Presumably so does AE.

However, we cannot say

what happens to the interest

rate or investment without

knowing the relative

magnitude of each policy.

IS

If monetary policy is

expansionary, the LM curve

shifts outward.

If fiscal policy is

contractionary, the IS curve

shifts inward.

The interest rate declines,

meaning that investments

must rise.

The relative magnitude of

each policy determines

what happens to Y and AE.
