Talk:IS/LM model

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So what do 'IS' and 'LM' mean? --Vunzmstr 12:17, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

Did you read the article? --Vikingstad 23:38, May 2, 2005 (UTC)
A rude question. Thanks to Jdevine's 2 May edits, it is now explained what IS an LM stands for. I could find it myself elsewhere on the internet, but since I am in no way an economist I did not want to edit this article. Thanks for your constructive reply though mister Vikingstad. --Vunzmstr 08:27, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Equalities?

Is IS/LM identical to IS-LM identical to Hicks-Hansen IS-LM Model??

To be proactive (even if ignorant), I eliminated the hyperlink to the last item, as I understand that the whole article is about Hicks-Hansen IS-LM Model. MGTom 00:01, August 9, 2005 (UTC)


Hi, does someone know what effects in economic policy a horizontal LM curve has? and when and why the IS curve is relatively steep? thanks, rich

A horizontal LM curve means fiscal policy has a strong effect on income (theoretically a horizontal LM curve means money demand has an infinite responsiveness). The gradient of the IS curve is dependant on marginal propensity to consume (the lower the MPC, the steeper the IS curve) Beeson_uk 20.10.06

[edit] Modigliani

Didn't Franco Modigliani help build this model from Keynes' summary of his theoretical work in General Theory?


The part "shifts" needs significant revision, not only it is unclear, but has mistakes.

[edit] bold

why all the bold?

[edit] Graph

Is there a reason we were using manual HTML for this image? I've fixed it to use the correct wikimarkup; beforehand, it was stretching the article so I had to scroll right to view the whole graph. Johnleemk | Talk 16:43, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Move

Does anyone else think this page should be renamed to IS-LM model? First, the slash is confusing; second, the other models I found were named using hyphens, not slashes (AD-IA Model, for example; see my next post for info about the cap). I am also requesting an article on the AD-AS model, which (strangely) does not have an article, and I am requesting it with the hyphen instead of a slash, following the conventions of the existing articles. I won't move it even if we reach consensus, since I'd like to have it done by an administrator to preserve the edit history. -- Tuvok^Talk|Desk|Contribs  06:50, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I forgot: There does not seem to be a general agreement as to whether these articles should capitalize "model" or not. Some do, some don't. There also is no real consistency over the entire Internet about whether the punctuation between AD and AS is a slash or a hyphen. This has the potential to become a real Wikipedia issue. -- Tuvok^Talk|Desk|Contribs  06:56, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
