Question

Hi can you please help with explanations and calculations?

1. Draw a Mundell-Fleming model labelling all curves and axis. Make sure you include the full employment level of output and the world interest rate. Why does the IS curve slope down and why does the LM curve slope up? (use intuition or maths)
2. For a monetary expansion under a floating rate (ignoring the effects of the output gap on prices for now), explain carefully why the LM curve shifts right, and then the IS curve shifts right
3. What is the output gap and why is it important for macroeconomic management? Once the output gap effects have taken place, describe the path back to equilibrium for a monetary expansion under a floating rate and outline the meaning of money neutrality.
