Answer to Question 1

There are several factors that determine the size of the slope of the IS curve: the multiplier and the interest rate sensitivity of investment. The multiplier is now smaller because changes in current Y do not have as large an effect on current C. So, the mpc is smaller, the multiplier smaller, and the IS curve steeper. Also, a drop in the interest rate that is now temporary will not cause I to increase as much so the IS curve will be steeper. In the original IS-LM model, changes in Y and the interest rate were implicitly assumed permanent.

Answer to Question 2

C
