The Reserve Bank faces pressure to begin tightening monetary policy as the cost of living continues to rise. Using the IS-LM model, explain the effects of a contractionary monetary policy on output and the interest rate. How should fiscal policy respond if the government wishes to keep output at its current level? If money demand becomes more sensitive to the interest rate, should the fiscal response be stronger or weaker to maintain the current output level?
