Herein, a bare-bones New Keynesian extension of the IS/LM model yields solutions for core macro variables (output gap, inflation, interest rate, real exchange rate misvaluation)-expressed in percent. We then extend that standard model to also generate a corresponding set of demand-side elements-expressed in currency units. A key aim of the paper is to reconcile these two metrics in ways that also aid communication and intuition-including through IS/LM-style graphs UR - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=1529315 ER -
