Context The Keynesian Cross
. This chapter develops the IS-LM model, . A simple closed economy model in which income the basis of the aggregate demand curve. is determined by expenditure. (due to J.M. Keynes) . We focus on the short run and assume the price . Notation: level is fixed (so, SRAS curve is horizontal) . I = planned investment . This chapter (and chapter 11) focus on the PE = C + I + G = planned expenditure closed-economy case. Y = real GDP = actual expenditure Chapter 12 presents the open-economy case. . Difference between actual & planned expenditure = unplanned inventory investment

Use a graph of the Keynesian cross def: a graph of all combinations of r and Y that to show the effects of an increase in planned result in goods market equilibrium investment on the equilibrium level of i.e. actual expenditure (output) income/output. = ppplanned expenditure The equation for the IS curve is:
