2.1 Inflation: models Quantity Theory of Money: the relationship between the money supply and the rate of inflation. The Supply of Money (M1) The General Level of Prices M V = P Q PQ is a measure of nominal GDP Velocity of Circulation Real Output An increase in the money supply is likely to lead, in the first instance, to an increase in the general level of prices. Limitations: This assumes that V and Q are constant. A more sophisticated approach allows V to change but in a predictable way that allows the RBNZ to still use monetary policy to influence nominal GDP.
