| Money Multiplier | the multiple increase in the money supply resulting from an initial loan (The ratio of the total change in the quantity of money to the initial change in the monetary base) |
| The quantity of money that people plan to hold depends on 4 factors | o The price level o The nominal interest rate o Real GDP o Financial innovation |
| The Price Level | A rise in the price level increases the quantity of nominal money but doesn’t change the quantity of real money that people plan to hold |
| Nominal Money | the amount of money measured in dollars |
| Real Money | the nominal money ÷ the price level |
| The Nominal Interest Rate | The nominal interest rate is the opportunity cost of holding wealth in the form of money rather than an interest-bearing asset |
| Real GDP | An increase in real GDP increases the volume of expenditure, which increases the quantity of real money that people plan to hold |
| Financial Innovation | Financial innovation that lowers the cost of switching between money and interest-bearing assets decreases the quantity of real money that people plan to hold |
| Demand for Money | the relationship between the quantity of real money demanded and the nominal interest rate, all else equal |
| A rise in the interest rate brings a _____ in the quantity of real money demanded | A rise in the interest rate brings a decrease in the quantity of real money demanded |
| A fall in the interest rate beings an ______ in the quantity of real money demanded | A fall in the interest rate beings an increase in the quantity of real money demanded |
| if there is a decrease in real GDP or a financial innovation, there is a _________ shift in the demand for money | if there is a decrease in real GDP or a financial innovation, there is a leftward shift in the demand for money |
| if there is an increase in real GDP, there is a _________ shift in the demand for money | if there is an increase in real GDP, there is a rightward shift in the demand for money |
| Supply of Money | the relationship between the quantity of real money supplied and the nominal interest rate, all else equal |
| Money Market Equilibrium | occurs when the quantity of money demanded equals the quantity of money supplied |
| Money Market Equilibrium determines | the nominal interest rate |
| Short-Run Equilibrium | Knowing the money demand curve, the Bank of Canada adjusts the quantity of money (MS) each day so that the quantity of real money is brought to equilibrium with the intended interest rate |
| Long-Run Equilibrium | In the long-run, real money supplied does not change |
| Quantity Theory of Money | the proposition that, in the long run, an increase in the quantity of money brings an equal percentage increase in the price level |
| Velocity of Circulation | the average number of times in a year a dollar is used to purchase goods and services in GDP |
| Quantity Theory of Money Equation | GDP = PY |
| Velocity of Circulation Equation | V=PY/M |
| Equation of Exchange | MV=PY |
| The equation of exchange becomes the quantity theory of money if M does not influence V or Y | P=M ( V/Y ) |
| the equation of exchange in growth rates | Inflation rate=money growth rate+rate of velocity change-real GDP growth |
| In the long run, velocity does not change, so | inflation rate=money growth rate-real GDP growth |
