The Transaction Motive transaction motive The main reason that people hold money—to buy things. © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

At midmonth, Jim would sell the bond and deposit the $600 into his checking account to pay the second half of the month’s bills. Following this strategy, Jim’s average money holdings would be $300. © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

Because the interest rate is the opportunity cost of holding money balances, increases in the interest rate reduce the quantity of money that firms and households want to hold and decreases in the interest rate increase the quantity of money that firms and households want to hold. © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

What is the impact of an increase in the interest rate on money holdings and interest revenue? a. Both money holdings and interest revenue would rise. b. Both money holdings and interest revenue would decline. c. Money holdings would rise and interest revenue would decline. d. Money holdings would decline, and interest revenue would rise. © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

Publishing as Prentice Hall Principles of Economics 9e by Case, Fair and Oster 16 of 37 The Demand for Money CHAPTER 26 Money Demand and the Equilibrium Interest Rate The Total Demand for Money The total quantity of money demanded in the economy is the sum of the demand for checking account balances and cash by both households and firms. At any given moment, there is a demand for money—for cash and checking account balances. Although households and firms need to hold balances for everyday transactions, their demand has a limit. For both households and firms, the quantity of money demanded at any moment depends on the opportunity cost of holding money, a cost determined by the interest rate. © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

The demand for money curve. b. The interest rate. c. The transactions motive. d. The optimal money balance. © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

In Italy, virtually all checking accounts pay interest. What doesn’t pay interest is cash. In other words, in Italy there is an interest cost to carrying cash instead of depositing the cash in a checking account.

Firms are producing and selling more, and households are earning more income and buying more. There are more transactions, for which money is needed. As a result, both firms and households are likely to increase their holdings of money balances at a given interest rate. © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Principles of Economics 9e by Case, Fair and Oster 21 of 37 The Demand for Money CHAPTER 26 Money Demand and the Equilibrium Interest Rate The Effects of Income and the Price Level on the Demand for Money The amount of money needed by firms and households to facilitate their day-to-day transactions also depends on the average dollar amount of each transaction. In turn, the average amount of each transaction depends on prices, or instead, on the price level. TABLE 26.1 Determinants of Money Demand 1. The interest rate: r (The quantity of money demanded is a negative function of the interest rate.) 2. The dollar volume of transactions a.

Both the dollar volume of transactions and the average transaction amount increase. b. Both the dollar volume of transactions and the average transaction amount decrease. c. The dollar volume of transactions increases and the average transaction amount decreases. d. The dollar volume of transactions decreases and the average transaction amount increases. © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

The point at which the quantity of money demanded equals the quantity of money supplied determines the equilibrium interest rate in the economy. © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

At r0 the price of bonds would be bid up (and thus the interest rate down), and at r1 the price of bonds would be bid down (and thus the interest rate up). © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

People will move out of bonds and into money—hold larger cash balances. b. The quantity of money demanded is too high to achieve equilibrium. c. The quantity of money demanded is greater than the quantity of money supplied. d. There is more money in circulation than households and firms want to hold. © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

According to a theory called the expectations theory of the term structure of interest rates, the 2year rate is equal to the average of the current 1year rate and the 1-year rate expected a year from now. People’s expectations of higher future short-term interest rates are likely to increase. These expectations will then be reflected in current longterm interest rates. © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
