The IS-LM model, or Hicks-Hansen model, is a two-dimensional model that shows the relationship between interest rates, output, and the money market in a closed economy. The IS curve represents the equilibrium in the goods market, and the LM curve represents the equilibrium in the money market. For example, an expansionary monetary policy can shift the LM curve to the right, resulting in lower interest rates and higher output.  The IS-LM model can be used to analyze the effects of monetary and fiscal policy. For example, fiscal policy causes changes in the IS curve, which results in changes... Show more
