Document Summary

The most important reason for downward sloping ad is the interest-rate effect! Theory of liquidity preference: keynes"s theory that the interest rate adjusts to bring money supply and money demand into balance. Fed alters through open-market operations (buying and selling bonds) and. Money has highest liquidity because it is our medium of exchange. People hold it because it can be used to buy goods and services. Increase in the interest rate, raises cost of holding money because you could be making money on it in the bank, so the demand decreases. Increase in price level, causes an increase in money demand (need more money to pay for more expensive things) This causes an increase in the interest rates because supply is fixed and demand curve shifts right. (money market graph: also quantity of goods demanded decreases (ad curve) Whenever the quantity of goods and services demanded changes for any given price level, the ad curve shifts.
