The Quantity Theory of Money • The relationship among money, price, and real output can be represented by the equation of exchange. • MV = PQ • M = The Money Supply • V = The Velocity of Money (The rate at which money is exchanged from one transaction to another- measures the rate at which money in circulation is used for purchasing goods and services.) • Assume velocity is stable over time. • P= The Average Price Level • Q= Real GDP (real value of all final goods and services) • This equation shows the balance between money and goods/services • For a given level of V, if M increases more than Q then there must be an increase in P to keep the two sides equal.
