Inventory investment—spending by firms on additional holdings of raw materials, parts, and finished goods in a given time period•Planned investment spending equals planned fixed investment plus the amount of inventory investment planned by firmsPlanned Investment SpendingCopyright © 2012 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 9-9•In the investment function, planned investment is:–negatively related to the real interest rate–affected by business expectations about the future (exogenous), as Keynes called “animal spirits”Planned Investment Spending (cont’d) where = = responsiveness of investment to the real interest rate I I drId= -autonomous investmentCopyright © 2012 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 9-10•In the net export function, net export includes:–the level of net exports that are exogenous–a component negatively related to the real interest rate: A higher real interest rate raises the demand for dollars and so its exchange rate (the price of the currency), which in turn lowers net exports as exports become more expensive for foreigners Net Exports where = = responsiveness of net exports to the real interest rate NX NX rNX= -autonomous net exportsxxCopyright © 2012 Pearson Addison-Wesley.

All rights reserved. 9-14Deriving the IS Curve•The IS curve shows the relationship between aggregate output and the real interest rate when the goods market is in equilibrium•The IS curve is made up of two terms:1. The first term tells us about shifts in the IS curve: Since mpc is between zero and one, 1/(1-mpc) >0, so this term tells us that a change in autonomous variables affects output at any given real interest rate. 2. The second term tells us about a movement along the IS curve: A change in the real interest rate affects output.Copyright © 2012 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved.
