1 MARKET FOR LOANABLE FUNDS Suppliers are people who save money;Suppliers are people who save money; Demanders are people who borrow money;Demanders are people who borrow money; Interest Rate is the price of loanable funds: the amount of money paid for the use of a dollar for a year;Interest Rate is the price of loanable funds: the amount of money paid for the use of a dollar for a year; Suppliers are people who save money;Suppliers are people who save money; Demanders are people who borrow money;Demanders are people who borrow money; Interest Rate is the price of loanable funds: the amount of money paid for the use of a dollar for a year;Interest Rate is the price of loanable funds: the amount of money paid for the use of a dollar for a year;

2 RESPONSE TO INCREASED INTEREST RATES PARTY NOW Save less and spend more this year.Save less and spend more this year. Since a higher interest rate means that each dollar saved earns more interest, a person can save less and still have the same amount of money to spend next year;Since a higher interest rate means that each dollar saved earns more interest, a person can save less and still have the same amount of money to spend next year; If interest rate changed from 4% to 10%, and person saved $946 instead of $1,000, the person would still have $1,040,If interest rate changed from 4% to 10%, and person saved $946 instead of $1,000, the person would still have $1,040, and have $54 to party now.and have $54 to party now. Save less and spend more this year.Save less and spend more this year. Since a higher interest rate means that each dollar saved earns more interest, a person can save less and still have the same amount of money to spend next year;Since a higher interest rate means that each dollar saved earns more interest, a person can save less and still have the same amount of money to spend next year; If interest rate changed from 4% to 10%, and person saved $946 instead of $1,000, the person would still have $1,040,If interest rate changed from 4% to 10%, and person saved $946 instead of $1,000, the person would still have $1,040, and have $54 to party now.and have $54 to party now.

3 PARTY LATER Save the same amount this year and spend more next year;Save the same amount this year and spend more next year; The higher interest rate means that a person who continues to save the $1,000 this year will have more money to spend next year;The higher interest rate means that a person who continues to save the $1,000 this year will have more money to spend next year; $1,100 instead of $1,040: $60 for next year’s party.$1,100 instead of $1,040: $60 for next year’s party. PARTY HEARTY LATER Save more this year and spend much more next year;Save more this year and spend much more next year; A person who saves more than $1,000 will have much more to spend next year;A person who saves more than $1,000 will have much more to spend next year; A person who saves $1,200 will have $1,320 instead of $1,040.A person who saves $1,200 will have $1,320 instead of $1,040. Save the same amount this year and spend more next year;Save the same amount this year and spend more next year; The higher interest rate means that a person who continues to save the $1,000 this year will have more money to spend next year;The higher interest rate means that a person who continues to save the $1,000 this year will have more money to spend next year; $1,100 instead of $1,040: $60 for next year’s party.$1,100 instead of $1,040: $60 for next year’s party. PARTY HEARTY LATER Save more this year and spend much more next year;Save more this year and spend much more next year; A person who saves more than $1,000 will have much more to spend next year;A person who saves more than $1,000 will have much more to spend next year; A person who saves $1,200 will have $1,320 instead of $1,040.A person who saves $1,200 will have $1,320 instead of $1,040.

4 THE SUPPLY CURVE FOR LOANABLE FUNDS Shows the relationship between interest rate and the total amount of money saved -- and available to be loaned;Shows the relationship between interest rate and the total amount of money saved -- and available to be loaned; To find a point on the supply curve, pick an interest rate and then add up the amounts saved by each person in the economy at that interest rate.To find a point on the supply curve, pick an interest rate and then add up the amounts saved by each person in the economy at that interest rate.

5 SUPPLY OF LOANABLE FUNDS Interest Rate (Percent) Market Supply Curve Loanable Funds per year ($ million) 6 4 2 450500 h e b Empirical studies of saving behavior suggest that on average people save more at higher interest rates, so supply curve is positively sloped.

6 SUPPLY OF LOANABLE FUNDS The higher the price (interest) the larger the quantity supplied;The higher the price (interest) the larger the quantity supplied; What matters to potential savers is the net benefit from saving money;What matters to potential savers is the net benefit from saving money; If there were no taxes, the net benefit would be determined exclusively by interest rate;If there were no taxes, the net benefit would be determined exclusively by interest rate; Because taxes decrease the net benefit from savings, they decrease the amount of money saved, decreasing the supply of loanable funds.Because taxes decrease the net benefit from savings, they decrease the amount of money saved, decreasing the supply of loanable funds. The higher the price (interest) the larger the quantity supplied;The higher the price (interest) the larger the quantity supplied; What matters to potential savers is the net benefit from saving money;What matters to potential savers is the net benefit from saving money; If there were no taxes, the net benefit would be determined exclusively by interest rate;If there were no taxes, the net benefit would be determined exclusively by interest rate; Because taxes decrease the net benefit from savings, they decrease the amount of money saved, decreasing the supply of loanable funds.Because taxes decrease the net benefit from savings, they decrease the amount of money saved, decreasing the supply of loanable funds.

7 THE MARKET DEMAND CURVE Demand for loanable funds comes from households, firms and government; Households borrow money to purchase expensive goods such as houses and cars; Firms borrow money to purchase production facilities such as buildings, machines and equipment; Governments borrow money to build facilities such as highways, schools, dams and prisons; The federal government borrows money for the difference between tax revenue and expenditures.

8 THE MARKET DEMAND CURVE The demand curve is negatively sloped;The demand curve is negatively sloped; The higher the interest rate, the smaller the amount of funds demanded.The higher the interest rate, the smaller the amount of funds demanded. The demand curve is negatively sloped;The demand curve is negatively sloped; The higher the interest rate, the smaller the amount of funds demanded.The higher the interest rate, the smaller the amount of funds demanded.

9 EQUILIBRIUM IN THE MARKET FOR LOANABLE FUNDS Interest Rate (Percent) Market Demand Curve Market Supply Curve Loanable Funds per year ($ million) 6 4 2 450500720 d h e c b Supply intersects demand at point e, so the equilibrium interest rate is 4%.

10 HOW DO CHANGES IN SUPPLY AND DEMAND AFFECT MARKET INTEREST RATE Increase In demand Economic growth increases the demand for all goods in the economy; Firms respond to the increase in demand by expanding their production facilities, so the demand curve will shift to the right: At each interest rate, firms will demand more funds. Increase in Supply If current workers decide to save more of their current loanable funds for retirement, the supply curve for loanable funds will shift right: At each interest rate more money will be saved.

11 MARKET EFFECTS OF AN INCREASE IN DEMAND Interest Rate (Percent) Initial Demand Curve Market Supply Curve Loanable Funds per year ($ million) 4 500 I 590 New Demand Curve 5 f The increase in demand increases both the price ( interest rate ) and the quantity (quantity of loanable funds).

12 MARKET EFFECTS OF AN INCREASE IN SUPPLY Interest Rate (Percent) Market Demand Curve Initial Supply Curve Loanable Funds per year ($ million) 4 500 e New Supply Curve 600 3 f The increase in supply decreases the price ( interest rate ) and increases the quantity (quantity of loanable funds).

13 OTHER CHANGES THAT AFFECT THE EQUILIBRIUM INTEREST RATE 1. Government Spending If government increases its spending without increasing taxes, it must borrow money to finance the new spending. This deficit spending increases the demand for loanable funds and increases the equilibrium interest rate. If government increases its spending without increasing taxes, it must borrow money to finance the new spending. This deficit spending increases the demand for loanable funds and increases the equilibrium interest rate. 2. Investment subsidy If the government provides a subsidy for spending on production facilities (buildings, machines and equipment), firms will borrow more money to spend on facilities, and the equilibrium interest rate will increase. If the government provides a subsidy for spending on production facilities (buildings, machines and equipment), firms will borrow more money to spend on facilities, and the equilibrium interest rate will increase. 3. Tax on interest income. A tax on interest income decreases the benefit of saving: A tax on interest income decreases the benefit of saving: For each dollar saved, the individual gets to keep only a part of the interest income. The decrease in the benefit of saving will decrease the supply of loanable funds, and increase the equilibrium interest rate. For each dollar saved, the individual gets to keep only a part of the interest income. The decrease in the benefit of saving will decrease the supply of loanable funds, and increase the equilibrium interest rate. 1.
