IS–LM Interactive Simulator
A browser-based IS–LM simulator for ECON 202 (Module 5). Drag the sliders for fiscal and monetary policy, taxes, and money demand, and watch the IS and LM curves — and the goods-market and asset-market equilibria — adjust in real time. Use it alongside the two-panel derivations of the IS and LM curves in the lecture slides.
What happens to output and the interest rate when the government spends more, the central bank prints money, or taxes rise? Move the sliders below and watch the IS and LM curves shift, with the new general equilibrium traced out automatically. This is the same goods-market / asset-market machinery we build by hand in the lecture slides — here you can run the comparative statics live.
- Drag a slider (government purchases, the money supply, taxes, money demand, and so on) and watch the IS and LM curves move.
- The marked equilibrium point shows where the goods market and the asset market clear together.
- Use the toolbar on the plot to pan, zoom, or reset if the view drifts.
