Aggregate Demand (4) : IS-LM, Fluktuasi Ekonomi, dan Kebijakan Pemerintah

Summary

This video explains the IS-LM model in macroeconomics, focusing on how fiscal and monetary policies influence economic fluctuations. It explores how shifts in the IS and LM curves, driven by changes in government spending, taxation, and money supply, can affect output and interest rates. The video highlights key concepts like the multiplier effect, the impact of fiscal policies on consumption, and the response of the central bank through monetary policies. It also discusses the dynamic interaction between fiscal and monetary policies, with examples of how these policies can stabilize or adjust economic equilibrium.

Takeaways

• 😀 The intersection of the IS curve and LM curve determines the equilibrium level of output or income in the economy.
• 😀 Shifts in the IS or LM curves, caused by fiscal or monetary policies, will change the equilibrium output and income.
• 😀 Fiscal policy can shift the IS curve, with government spending (G) increasing or taxes (T) decreasing shifting it to the right, raising output and income.
• 😀 Monetary policy can shift the LM curve. An increase in money supply (M) shifts LM to the right, lowering interest rates and raising output.
• 😀 A government increase in G leads to a higher interest rate and income, but the change in output may not be as large as predicted by the multiplier effect.
• 😀 A tax reduction leads to increased disposable income, raising consumption and shifting the IS curve right, with a corresponding rise in interest rates and output.
• 😀 The impact of fiscal policies like tax cuts on output is less than the full multiplier effect due to increased demand for money and higher interest rates.
• 😀 A monetary expansion (increase in M) lowers interest rates and raises output by stimulating investment.
• 😀 Responses to fiscal policies may involve central bank adjustments. For example, the central bank may adjust money supply (M) to stabilize interest rates or output.
• 😀 Exogenous shocks, such as changes in consumer expectations or external factors like a stock market crash, can shift both the IS and LM curves, impacting the economy's equilibrium.

Q & A

What determines the equilibrium output or income level in the IS-LM model?

The equilibrium output or income level is determined by the intersection of the IS curve and the LM curve. Changes in either curve will shift the equilibrium, leading to changes in output and income.

What can cause shifts in the IS or LM curves?

Shifts in the IS or LM curves can be caused by factors like fiscal policy (e.g., changes in government expenditure or taxes), monetary policy (e.g., changes in money supply), or exogenous shocks affecting either the goods and services market or the money market.

How does an increase in government spending (G) affect the IS curve?

An increase in government spending (G) shifts the IS curve to the right, leading to a higher equilibrium income (Y) and higher interest rates (R), due to the increased demand for goods and services.

What happens to the LM curve when the central bank increases the money supply (M)?

When the central bank increases the money supply, the LM curve shifts to the right, lowering the equilibrium interest rate and increasing output, as more money in circulation increases the supply of money relative to demand.

What is the effect of a tax cut on the IS curve?

A tax cut increases disposable income, which boosts consumption. This causes the IS curve to shift to the right, increasing equilibrium output and income. However, the increase in income may lead to higher demand for money, raising interest rates and potentially dampening the effect on output.

What is the multiplier effect in the context of fiscal policy?

The multiplier effect refers to the proportionate change in output resulting from a change in fiscal policy, such as government spending. It is calculated using the formula: 1 / (1 - MPC), where MPC is the marginal propensity to consume.

How does a tax increase affect the equilibrium in the IS-LM model?

A tax increase shifts the IS curve to the left, reducing equilibrium output and income. This leads to higher interest rates and lower investment due to the reduced demand for goods and services.

How do changes in interest rates impact investment in the IS-LM model?

Changes in interest rates directly affect investment. Higher interest rates typically reduce investment because the cost of borrowing increases, leading to a decrease in output. Conversely, lower interest rates encourage more investment and increase output.

What role does the LM curve play in determining equilibrium interest rates?

The LM curve shows the relationship between the level of income and the interest rate that brings the money market into equilibrium. A shift in the LM curve affects the equilibrium interest rate, influencing investment and overall economic activity.

How does the central bank's monetary policy response affect fiscal policy outcomes?

The central bank may adjust monetary policy in response to fiscal policy changes. For example, if the government cuts taxes, the central bank might increase the money supply to stabilize interest rates or maintain a desired level of output. This response can either amplify or dampen the effects of fiscal policy changes.
