Q

Key points of the current view of the money multiplier

A
  1. key ratios and the multiplier are unstable over time and therefore CANNOT be used for monetary policy purposes

  3. the money supply = endogenous with respect to the economy (horizontal position)
  4. Causality runs from the money supply to base money
  5. loans create deposits
29
Q

A

a. demand for money
b. GDP
c. interest rates
d. inflation

30
Q

Equation for base money

A

H = [(c+r+e)/(1+c)]M = (1/m)M = M/m

31
Q

One key tenet of the quantity theory of money (QTM)

A

a variation in the money supply (M) causes an equivalent variation in the price level (P) and an opposite variation in the purchasing power of money (1/P)

32
Q

The more money circulates in the economy, the ______ it is worth in terms of goods and services (aka purchasing power)

A

less

33
Q

_________ is a monetary phenomenon

A

Inflation

34
Q

What are the key economic principles underlying the QTM?

A
  1. Money is primarily a medium of exchange and a means of payment
  2. Exogeneity
  3. Long-run neutrality
35
Q

Define exogeneity

A

When monetary authorities determinate the quantity of money based on their best judgment and not to passively accommodate money demand

36
Q

Long-run neutrality

A

In a competitive economy, changes in the supply of money don’t have permanent effects on relative price and real variables (real GDP and employment), but only on monetary variables (classical dichotomy)

37
Q

Define the velocity of money

A

The frequency at which one unit of currency is used to purchase domestically produced goods and services within a given time period

Basically, the number of times one dollar exchanges hands within a given time period

38
Q

If the velocity of money is _______, then more transactions are happening between individuals in an economy

A

high

39
Q

The three components of money supply

A

M1, M2, MZM (arranged from narrowest to broadest)

40
Q

Define M1

A
  • narrowest component of money supply
  • is the money supply of currency in circulation (coins, bank notes, travelers checks (non bank issued)), demand deposits, and checkable deposits
41
Q

A decreasing velocity of M1 might indicate…

A

fewer short-term consumption transactions (everyday consumptions) taking place

42
Q

Equation of exchange 1 (EE1)

A

EE1: MV = PT
- M: money supply used for transaction purposes
- V: money velocity
- P: price index
- T: index of economic transactions

43
Q

Equation of exchange 2 (EE2)

A

EE2: MV + M’V’ = PT
- M: currency
- M’: bank deposits
- V: cash velocity
- V’: deposit velocity

44
Q

Equation of exchange 3 (EE3)

A

EE3: MV = PY
- M: money supply used for transaction purposes (?)
- V: income velocity rather than transaction velocity
- P: GDP deflator
- Y: real income (real GDP)

45
Q

The value of goods traded using money as a medium of exchange is _________ the value of monetary transactions (Demand = Supply)

A

equal to

46
Q

Cabridge Equation (EE4)

A

EE4: M = kPY
- k: the share of nominal income held in average in the form of money for transaction purposes
- M: money supply
- P: GDP deflator (?)
- Y: real income (real GDP)

47
Q

What is the equation for money supply = money demand in nominal terms?

A

M= kPY

48
Q

What is the equation for money supply = money demand in real terms?

A

M/P = kY

49
Q

What is the difference between the Equations of Exchange (EE1, EE2, EE3) and the Cambridge Equation (EE4)

A
  • the EEs focus on money as an object that “moves” in the market with a certain velocity
  • EE4 focuses on the demand for money as a temporary stock of purchasing power
50
Q

Define Say’s Law

A

The claim that the production of a product creates demand for another product by providing something of value which can be exchanged for that other product.

Basically, production is the source of demand (S creates D)

51
Q

Velocity depends on _____

A

institutional factors (payment systems and payment habits)

52
Q

Income (nominal GDP), Y, depends on (a) _______ and is independent of (b) _______

A

a. real factors (tech, preferences, endowments)
b. M, V, and P

53
Q

In the money market graph, a positive shock to the money supply leads to a (a) ______ in prices and a (b) _______ in the quantity of money

A

a. increase
b. increase

54
Q

In the goods market graph, a positive shock to the money supply leads to a (a) ______ in prices and a (b) _______ in the real income

A

a. increase
b. no change

55
Q

Challenges to the QTM

A
  1. Constant velocity?
  2. Real GDP independent of M? It does in the SR, but experts consider these effects transitional and choose to ignore them
  3. Exogenous money supply (traditional view thinks exogenous and current view thinks endogenous)
56
Q

Endogenous money supply (alternative view)

A

The money supply is determined endogenously by the banking system based on the demands of the economy

The CB will never refuse to provide the banks with the monetary base they need and can only indirectly control the money supply

57
Q

Endogenous causality

A

Believe causality from PY to M and from M to H

58
Q

Exogenous money supply (traditional view)

A

The money supply is exogenously controlled by the CB, which sets the monetary base and the money supply, given the money multiplier

59
Q

Exogenous causality

A

Believe causality runs from H to M and from M to PY with the logic of the quantity theory of money

60
Q

Friedman’s QTM

A
  • money supply and demand
  • theoretical versions of the QTM
  • empirical evidence and policy implications
61
Q

Friedman believes that the money supply can be controlled by _________

A

monetary authorities

62
Q

Friedman believes that money demand is a ________________ and therefore predictable, controllable, and stable

A

stable function of a limited number of variables

63
Q

Friedman’s mathematical contribution to QTM

M/P = function(rb,re,rate of inflation,w,Y,u)

A
  • rb: nominal rate of return on bonds
  • re: nominal rate of return on equity
  • w: ratio of human to non-human wealth
  • Y: GDP in real terms (real income)
  • u: tastes and preferences
64
Q

What can M/P = function(rb,re,rate of inflation,w,Y,u) be rewritten into given homogeneity assumptions?

A
  1. M = Pg(rb,re,rate of inflation,w,Y,u)Y
  2. MV = (rb,re,rate of inflation,w,Y,u) = PY
65
Q

How does Friedman explain the QTM?

A
  • as long as the monetary authorities control M and V is a stable function of its determinants, then changes in M will determine equivalent changes in PY
  • Initially the effect of the changes in M will only be on Y, because wagse, prices, interest rates and inflation expectations are sticky (Short term non-neutrality)
    -Subsequently, as real variables revernt to their LR equivalent values, determined uniquely by the real forces of productivity (investment and tech) and thrift (savings and accumulation), then the effect of the change of M is on the price level
66
Q

Equilibrium logic

A

Money demanded in real terms, money supply in nominal terms, then the changes in price level reconcile the difference between the two

67
Q

Dynamic version of the QTM

A

m + y = inflation rate + g
- m: growth rate of money
- v: rate of change in money velocity
- g: growth rate of the economy

m can be governed to achieve the desired inflation rate

68
Q

Rate of inflation equation related to the dynamic QTM

A

rate of inflation = m + y - g

69
Q

Inflation is always and everywhere a __________ phenomenon

A

Monetary

70
Q

Friedman believes that one of the main reasons for the inflationary growth of the money supply is the governments choice to finance (a) _______ through (b)_______

A

a. public spending
b. the inflation tax
