upward and to the left

a decrease in the nominal money supply, other things being equal, will shift the LM curve

upward and to the left

a decrease in the world interest rate

if interest rate is higher than equilibrium in the market for real money balances then people will _____ bonds and the interest rate will _______

buy, fall

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

by lowering the interest rate so that investment exceeds spending

A shift in the aggregate demand curve, starting from long-run equilibrium, which increases output in the short run, will ______ in the long run, as compared to a short-run equilibrium.

increase, increase

In the IS-LM model, an increase in government spending leads to a(n) _______ expenditures, a(n) ____________ in total income, a(n) _________ in money demand, and a(n) ___________ in the equilibrium interest rate.

increase, increase, increase, increase

An increase in investment demand for any given level of income and interest rates - due, for example, to more optimistic "animal spirits" - will, within the IS-LM framework, _______ output and _________ interest rates.

increase; raise

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.

According to the theory of liquidity preference, the supply of nominal money balances

is chosen by the central bank

if the quantity theory of money is valid, the the LM curve

is vertical

If a country has a low rate of inflation relative to the United States, the dollar will buy:

less of the foreign currency over time

The increase in income in response to a fiscal expansion in the IS-LM is:

less than in the Keynesian-cross model unless the LM curve is horizontal

the theory of liquidity preferences implies that, other things being equal, and increase in the real money supply will

lower the interest rate

lower, raises, reduces

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

The aggregate demand curve generally slopes downward and to the right because, for any given money supply M a higher price level P causes a ______ real money supply M/P, which ______ the interest rate and ______ spending
