Labor market equilibrium

Figure 9.1 The FE line

Deriving the IS curve:


From Y = C + I + G to S = I

Figure 9.3 Effect on the IS curve of a temporary


increase in government purchases

Shifting the IS curve: G


At any value of r,
G E Y
so the IS
curve shifts to
the right.

Initially, the tax


increase reduces
consumption, and
therefore E:

At Y1, there is now

reduce output,
and income falls

Shifts of the IS Curve


Lets summarize:
Equilibrium in the goods market implies that
an increase in the interest rate leads to a
decrease in output.
Changes in factors that decrease the
demand for goods, given the interest rate
shift the IS curve to the left.
