Question
Assume that an economy is experiencing simultaneous equilibrium in both the product market and
a) If the MPC rises to 0.8 and also the sensitivity of real money demand to changes in the income rises well, use the IS-LM model to illustrate the impact of an expansionary fiscal policy. Label the initial point prior to the fiscal policy as A and the new point following the expansionary policy as B.

An anticipated permanent decrease in income (at time periods t = 1 and t = 2) when it occurs. 3. Are the answers different if the changes in income are unanticipated, i.e. if they come as a surprise to the consumer?
