Harcourt, Inc. items and derived items copyright © 2001 by Harcourt, Inc. Money Demand consists of two parts: Asset demand (liquidity theory)- how much money the public wants to hold as a financial asset for spending purposes; this is determined by interest rates and moves demand along the curve. High interest rates discourage asset demand (we prefer to save not spend). Interest Rate Quantity fixed by the Fed Money supply Money demand r1 Md1 r2 Md2 Quantity of Money 18

8 Equilibrium in the Money Market...

Transaction demand- how much money the public needs in order to buy available goods and services; this is determined by Nominal GDP and causes the curve to shift. Higher NGDP would shift the demand curve right. Another factor would be alternative means of spending such as credit card use. Higher use of credit cards would shift the curve down. Changes in money demand changes the interest rate. Interest Rate Quantity fixed by the Fed Money supply MD2 Interest rate 2 Money demand Equilibrium interest rate Quantity of Money 18
