how would the IS curve shift if we changed government spending?

expansionary fiscal policy

- An increase in government purchases of goods and services, a decrease in net taxes, or some combination of the two for the purpose of increasing aggregate demand and expanding real output - budget deficit

Why does the IS curve slope downward?

- Because it has a negative slope from the Investment equation and investment demand curve? - As the real interest rate rises, consumption expenditure, planned investment spending, and net exports fall, which in turn lowers planned expenditure. Aggregate output must be lower for it to equal planned expenditure and satisfy goods market equilibrium. Hence, the IS curve is downward-sloping.
