Document Summary

Assumed to be controlled and determined by the central bank regardless of interest rate. Money market and bonds market must be at equilibrium (equation = 0) Money supply is actual money holding, money demand is desired holding. Drop in demand for bonds will lower bond price and increase interest rate, increasing opportunity cost of holding money, reducing your desire holdings. If you need more money, liquidate some of your bond holdings. If money supply increases, interest rate decreases, and cost of borrowing decreases. Increase in investment, increase in aggregate expenditure, shifts ad right. Decrease in interest rate increases investment and aggregate expenditure shifts. When real gdp is less than potential. Period after period, the gap will close, until the inflationary gap disappears. There is a shortage in the labor market. Increase in wages, in next labor contract, workers will demand for higher wages, production cost per unit will also increase, therefore, the next.
