Key Claims

John Hicks and Alvin Hansen formalized Keynes’s General Theory into a dual-market equilibrium system. The downward-sloping IS curve depicts combinations of national income and interest rates where investment equals savings; the upward-sloping LM curve depicts where money demand equals fixed money supply. The intersection determines general equilibrium output and interest rates, providing a foundational apparatus to evaluate fiscal multipliers, monetary policy transmission, and crowding-out effects.
