Section 5 | Module 28

5. The Demand for Money The Opportunity Cost of Holding Money
The decision process to hold money is the same process as the decision to purchase goods: is the benefit of holding money greater than the cost of holding money?
The interest rate reflects the opportunity cost of holding money.
Short-term interest rates are the interest rates on financial assets that mature within six months or less.
Long-term interest rates are interest rates on financial assets that mature a number of years in the future.

8. F Y I
Long-term Interest Rates
Long-term interest rates don’t necessarily move with short-term interest rates.
If investors expect short-term interest rates to rise, investors may buy short-term bonds even if long-term bonds offer a higher interest rate.
In practice, long-term interest rates reflect the average expectation in the market about what’s going to happen to short-term rates in the future.

9. The Money Demand Curve
Interest rate, r
The money demand curve shows the relationship between the quantity of money demanded and the interest rate.

10. Shifts of the Real Money Demand Curve
Factors that shift the real money demand curve:
Changes in aggregate price level
Changes in real GDP
Changes in technology
Changes in institutions

11. Increases and Decreases in the Demand for Money
Section 5 | Module 28

12. Money and Interest Rates
According to the liquidity preference model of the interest rate, the interest rate is determined by the supply and demand for money.
The money supply curve shows how the nominal quantity of money supplied varies with the interest rate.

14. Two Models of the Interest Rate
This module has developed the liquidity preference model of the interest rate.
This model is consistent with another model known as the loanable funds model of the interest rate, developed in Module 29.
Section 5 | Module 28

15. Summary
The money demand curve arises from a trade-off between the opportunity cost of holding money and the liquidity that money provides.
The opportunity cost of holding money depends on short-term interest rates, not long-term interest rates.
Changes in the aggregate price level, real GDP, technology, and institutions shift the money demand curve.
According to the liquidity preference model of the interest rate, the interest rate is determined in the money market by the money demand curve and the money supply curve.
