Document Summary

Chapter 26 notes: money demand and the equilibrium interest rate. Then a maturity date where the borrower agrees to pay the lender the face value of the bond. When interest rates are high, people want to take advantage of the high return on bonds: the speculation motive- one reason for holding bonds instead of money. It could do so by increasing the reserve requirement, by raising the discount rate, or by selling u. s. government securities in the open market. Increases in p*y shifts in the money demand curve: changes in the supply are not the only factors that influence the equilibrium interest rate. Shifts in money demand can do the same thing. Increases the money supply until the intersection for the money supply at the demand for money curve is at an interest rate of roughly zero. At a zero interest rate, people are indifferent whether they hold non- interest-bearing money or zero interest-bearing bonds.
