1. Modern Theory of Interest
IS-LM Curve
(By Hicks & Hansen)

2. Classical Theory of Interest:
 Interest rate is a real variable
 Interest is determined by savings (S) & Investment (I)
 Equilibrium rate of interest is determined when Goods Market is equilibrium
(S=I)
Keynes Liquidity Preference theory of interest:
 Interest rate is a monetary variable
 Interest rate is determined by Demand for Money (L) & Supply of Money (M)
 Equilibrium rate of interest is determined when Money Market is equilibrium
(L = M)

3. Modern Theory of Interest: (ISLM)
 By Hicks & Hansen
 No Single theory is adequate
 Interest rate is determined by both Goods Market & Money Market
 Equilibrium rate of interest is determined when both Goods Market &
Money Market is equilibrium
 Goods Market Equilibrium (S=I)
 Money Market Equilibrium (L=M)
 General Equilibrium when both goods & Money market is equilibrium ( IS-
LM)

4. Goods Market Equilibrium(I=S)
Money Market Equilibrium (L=M)
IS-LM Model

5. The IS Curve
&
Goods Market Equilibrium (S=I)
Or
Product Market Equilibrium

6. Goods Market Equilibrium:
Total Income (Aggregate Supply) = Total Expenditure(Aggregate
Demand)
Total Income (Y) = C+S, Total Exp. (Y) = C+I
Condition for Equilibrium:
C+S = C+I
S = I
Savings (S) = Investment(I)

7. Savings Function:
Savings (S) is a function of Income (Y)
S = f(Y)
Savings (S) increases when income increases (Y).
Investment Function:
Investment (I) is a function of both the level of income (Y) &
the rate of interest (r).
I = f ( Y, r )
Investment (I) increases with increase in income (Y) and
decreases with increase in rate of interest (r )

8. The IS Curve
IS curve is the Saving(S) & Investment (I) equality curve
IS curve shows the equality between Savings (S) &
Investment (I) at various combination of the levels of
Income (Y) & the Rate of interest (r ).
IS curve represents the goods market equilibrium at
various combinations of (r ) & (Y)

9. Derivation of IS Curve
• “S” is the savings curve & when income
rises savings also rises
• “I” is the investment curve at a given
interest rate
• At a 5% rate of interest(r), I2 is the
investment curve
• When rate of interest (r) reduced to
4%, Investment increases & it shifted
up to I3 .
• When rate of interest (r ) increased to
6%, investment decreases & it shifted
down to I1.
• S is the savings curve which increases
as the level of income (Y) rises.

10. Figure “A”:
At E1, E2 & E3 goods market equilibrium (S=I)
At point E1: r=6% & Y=100
At point E2: r=5% & Y=200
At point E3: r=4% & Y=300
Figure “B” represents derivation of IS curve
A, B, C are the corresponding goods market equilibrium of E1, E2 & E3
“A” represents goods market equilibrium at r=6% with Y=100
“B” represents goods market equilibrium at r=5% with Y=200
“C” represents goods market equilibrium at r=4% with Y=300
“IS” curve is the connection of A, B & C points together
IS curve slopes downward

11. Why Does “IS” curve slopes downward?
The IS curve slopes downward from left to the right
As the interest rate (r) falls, Investment (I) increases and so does
Income (Y)
• Low interest rate (r ) represents, more investment (I) & more
income (Y)
• High interest rate (r) represents, Low investment (I) & low
income (Y).

12. The LM Curve
&
Money Market Equilibrium (L=M)

13. Money Market Equilibrium
Demand for Money (L) = Supply of Money (M)
Demand for money is the total liquidity preferences (L)
LM stands for Money market equilibrium

14. Demand for Money (Liquidity Preference) : L
• Total Demand for Money (L) is function of Rate of interest (r ) and level of
Income (Y)
L = f (Y, r)
 Transaction & precautionary motive demand for money positively related with
level of Income (Y)
 Speculative motive demand for money is inversely related with rate of interest (
r)
 With given income level (Y), total demand for money is inversely related with
the rate of interest (r )
 Total demand for money slopes downward due to inverse relationship with the
interest rate (r )
Supply of Money is constant at a given point of time & Supply curve is
vertical straight line.

15. The LM Curve:
LM curve shows the equality between Demand for Money (L) &
Supply of Money (M) at various combination of the levels of
Income (Y) & the Rate of interest (r ).
LM curve represents money market equilibrium

16. Derivation of LM Curve
MS

17. Figure –A
 L1 represents demand for money at the level of income Y1=100
 When the income increased to Y2=200, demand for money increases & shifted
right ward to L2.
 When the income further increased to Y3=300, demand for money increased &
shifted right ward to L3.
 MS represents the Money supply (M) curve. It is vertical straight line as money
supply is fixed at a point of time.
 Money Market is equilibrium at point E1, E2 & E3
 At E1, income (Y1=100) & rate of interest (r1 = 4%)
 At E2, Income (Y2=200) & rate of interest (r2 =5%)
 Ar E3, income (Y3=300) & rate of interest (r3=6%)

18. Figure - LM Curve
LM curve derived in the figure-B
Each point in the LM curve represents Demand for Money(L)
& Supply of Money (M) equality at combination of various
levels of the Rate of interest (r ) and various levels of the
Income (Y).
Point “A” in LM curve represents money market equilibrium
with rate of interest r= 4% & level of income Y1= 100.
Similarly, Point “B” represents money market equilibrium
with rate of interest r =5% & level of Income Y2= 200.
Point “C” represents Money Market equilibrium with rate of
interest r =6% & level of Income Y3= 200.

19. Why does LM curve slopes upward?
Reason: When the national income (Y) increases, Demand
for money(L) increases in the economy, as a result the rate
of interest (r ) also increases.

20. LM Curve & Liquidity Trap
 The initial portion of the LM
curve is Horizontal straight line
due to liquidity trap.
 The remaining portion is
upward sloping.
 The liquidity trap is due to
unlimited demand for money
at a very low level of interest
rate.

21. General Equilibrium
Both Goods & Money Market equilibrium
simultaneously
IS & LM Curve intersection point

22. General Equilibrium
IS represents goods market
equilibrium (S =I)
LM represents Money Market
equilibrium (L=M)
At point “E” both Goods & Money
Market are equilibrium.
Equilibrium rate of interest r=5%
Equilibrium level of National Income
Y2=200.
Economy is equilibrium at point “E”
Goods Market (IS) & Money
Market (LM) Equilibrium

23. Shifts in IS Curve

24. Shifts in IS curve:
IS curve shifts to the right when the Investment (I) of an economy
increases with given interest (r )
IS curve shifts to the left when the Investment (I) of an economy
decreases with given interest
IS curve shifts to the left when the savings (S) increases with given
income (Y) .
IS curve shifts to the right when savings (S) decreases with given
income.

25. Note: When Savings & Taxes increases, Consumption exp & Aggregate demand
decreases. Due to national income decreases & IS shifts to left
