On the one hand, the IS-LM model is still taught by many academic economists or they use it to derive the AD-AS approach. On the other hand, the same economists realize the limitations of the basic IS-LM model and would not now use it for policy analysis, as they did in the past. The distinction between pedagogical and analytical efficacy is made by all the authors in this volume regarding the IS-LM model. 2012 Level: mittel IS-LM and Modern Macroeconomics Warren Young, Ben-Zion Zilberfarb Springer Science & Business Media The ecological crisis challenges the ways to understand the links between the environment, society, and the economy.
