Unit Four: Money (Part Three)

Money

Notes from 3/9/16

Money Demand and Supply

-Demand for Money has an inverse relationship between nominal interest rates and the quantity of money demanded

-What happens to quantity of money when interest rates decrease?
   +Quantity Demanded falls because individuals would prefer to have interest earning assets instead of borrowed liabilities

-What happens to Quantity Demanded when interest rates decrease?
   +Quantity Demanded decreases because there is no incentive to convert cash into interest earning assets

Increasing Money Supply
-If the FED increases money supply, a temporary surplus of money will occur at i. The surplus will cause interest rate to fall to i'. 

Supply of Money Increases ---> Interest Rates Decrease ---> Investment Increases --->        Aggregate Demand Increases

Decreasing Money Supply
-If the Fed decreases money supply, a temporary shortage of money occurs.

Supply of Money Decreases ---> Interest Rates Increase ---> Investment Decreases --->         Aggregate Demand Decreases

  1. Thank you for putting these graphs up they help a lot! When supply of money moves to the right that's when interest rates decrease so that would be expansionary. Great blog it's very sparkly!
