The LM curve represents money market equilibrium. Equilibrium in the IS -LM model The IS curve represents equilibrium in the goods market.

Examples: – Increase in government spending or tax cut – stock market boom or crash ⇒ change in households’ wealth ⇒ ∆C – change in business or consumer confidence or expectations ⇒ ∆I and/or ∆CShocks in the IS -LM model LM shocks: exogenous changes in the supply of or demand for money. Examples: – Changes in money supply – a wave of credit card fraud increases demand for money. – more ATMs or the Internet reduce money demand.causing output & income to rise.
