Document Summary

Ecn 204 lecture 9 chapter 15 and 16. Non-monetary assets: assets that are not made up of money nor function as money. Short-term interest rate: the interest rates on financial assets that mature within six months or less. Long term interest rate: interest rates on financial assets that mature a number of years in the future. The motivation is to hold one"s money however no interest. Hold wealth in the form of money or bonds. Shifts of money demand curve: changes in aggregate price level. Increase price level creates shift to right and vice versa: changes in real gdp. Increase in real gdp creates shift to right and vice versa: changes in credit markets and banking technology. Increase credit markets and banking technology creates shift to right and vice versa: changes in institutions. Liquidity preference model of the interest rate: the interest rate is determined by the supply and demand for money.

b. The federal government's control of the money supply, which influences interest rates, is the primary tool that policymakers use to impact the macro economy.

c. A decrease in the reserve requirement decreases the money supply because banks have fewer reserves.

d. The real money demand curve shows how households and businesses change their spending in response to changes in the interest rate.

e. Both an increase in the nominal money supply by the Federal Reserve and an increase in the price level will cause the real money supply curve to shift to the right.
