1. Highlighted on page (Undergraduate Macroeconomics Textbook — IS-LM Model Dynamics)
An increase in government spending shifts the IS curve to the right, which increases both aggregate output and the interest rate. Because the higher interest rate dampens private investment demand, the net expansion in output is smaller than the simple Keynesian multiplier would predict ('crowding-out effect').

2. Vezz me on-screen answer overlay
1. **Plain-English Mechanism**: When the government spends more, it borrows heavily in bond markets, pushing up interest rates. Higher interest rates make corporate loans and mortgages more expensive—so private businesses cancel investment projects and consumers buy fewer homes. The lost private investment partially 'cancels out' the government's spending boost.
2. **Check-Your-Understanding Question**: *What would happen to the crowding-out effect if the Central Bank simultaneously expanded the money supply (shifted the LM curve right) to keep interest rates flat?*
3. Suggested follow-up questions in thread
- “Here is my answer: output would expand even more because investment wouldn't fall. Is that correct?”
- “Turn this concept into 2 Anki Cloze flashcards for my midterm.”
