Real Money, LM Curve
real money terms - as opposed to nominal money, which doesn't account for inflation
- M/P = real money supply
- M/P = Y L(i)
- increases as interest decreases
- increase income (Y) >> increase real money demand
- if supply stays constant, interest must increase to lower real money demand if income (Y) increases
- slopes upward
- difference curves for each M/P level
- M/P increases >> need lower interest rate to make demand match >> shifts down
- M/P decreases >> need higher interest rate >> shifts up
- money market curves shift w/ different output
- plots the equilibria points of money market by output Y instead of real money M/P
- w/ substitution, changes in M/P causes shifts in LM curve
- monetary policy >> changes money supply >> can shift LM curve
