How central banks balance inflation and output using the IS-LM-PC framework

Lecture 11: The IS-LM-PC Model · 49:28 · Video: MIT OpenCourseWare · Watch at the source

In short: The IS-LM-PC model is a fundamental tool for understanding macroeconomic dynamics. This lecture explores how central banks navigate the relationship between output, inflation, and interest rates to manage an economy effectively.

The IS-LM-PC model integrates three core components: Investment-Saving (IS), Liquidity Preference-Money Supply (LM), and the Phillips Curve (PC). Together, these elements provide a framework for analyzing how economic output and inflation interact.

Presented by Ricardo J. Caballero in the Spring 2023 MIT course Principles of Macroeconomics, the lecture examines the strategic role of central banks. It focuses on the policy decisions required to adjust real interest rates and inflation targets to maintain economic stability.
