  2. Money, Interest, and the Exchange Rate MONEY Medium of Exchange Unit of Account • Express prices, keep records,…write contracts! Store of Value … Low risk • Other, riskier assets are less liquid but pay higher return. • Money Supply (Ms) • Ms = Currency + Checkable Deposits • Controlled by central bank

  3. Aggregate Money Demand Md = P x L(R,Y) where: P = price level Y = real national income R = interest rate • The demand for money can be expressed as the demand for real balances: Md/P = L(R,Y)

  4. Interest rate, R Md/P = L(R,Y) Aggregate real money demand Aggregate Money Demand Aggregate Real Money Demand and the Interest Rate

  5. Interest rate, R Increase in real income L(R,Y2) L(R,Y1) Aggregate real money demand Effect on Aggregate Real Money Demand of Rise in Real Income

  6. Interest rate, R 2 R2 Aggregate real money demand, L(R,Y) 3 R3 MS P ( = Q1) Q3 Q2 Real money holdings Equilibrium in the Money Market: Md = Msor Ms/P = L(R,Y) Real money supply 1 R1

  7. Money Supply and Exchange Rate Short run analysis: The price level and real output are given  sticky prices Assume real output (Y) starts at full-employment Long run analysis: The price level is perfectly flexible and adjusts to preserve full employment. Short – run Long – run

  10. Money, Price Level, & Exchange Rate: the Long Run • Long-run equilibrium: Prices are perfectly flexibleadjust to preserve full employment. • Money and Money Prices From the money market equilibrium condition, Ms/P = L(R,Y) P = Ms/L(R,Y) The Classical Dichotomy: Msproportional P • A change in Ms has no effect on the long-run values of R (the relative price of money) or Y (full employment output). • In order for E to remain stable, R must return to R* in the long-run. • This long-run equilibrium condition implies that P/P = Ms/Ms - L/L. The inflation rate equals the growth rate of Ms minus the growth rate of the demand for money (real balances). • In long-run, E adjusts to P, keeping relative prices (foreign and domestic) constant  purchasing power parity. • If E in long-run, Ee right away. (We’ve read the textbook).
