A Medium of Exchange2. A Store of Value3. A Unit of Accountz The first two create demands for money.5Liquidity Preference TheoryLiquidity Preference Theoryz Transactions Motive—yields transactions demand for moneyz Store of Value—yields:– Precautionary Motive—yielding precautionary demand for money– Speculative Motive—yielding the speculative demand for moneyzzThere are reasons why someone might There are reasons why someone might rationally hoard money!rationally hoard money!6Speculative Demand (1)Speculative Demand (1)z Keynes considers a portfolio of financial assets.z All financial assets can be considered as money or bonds:– Money (M): yields no return– Bonds (B): yield a returnz Wh = M + B7Speculative Demand (2)Speculative Demand (2)z Example—Perpetuity (a bond that never matures):– Bond is issued at $1000– Coupon rate is $50 Æ 50/1000=5%– Later, market interest double to 10%– How much can you sell the bond for?– Ans: $500 because 50/500=10%z When interest rates rise, bond prices fall Æ capital losses!8Speculative Demand (3)Speculative Demand (3)People decide to hold money instead of bonds when interest rates get so low that they cannot possibly go lower.

There are two!z The “money market” cannot tell us alone what the supply and demand for money will be.z Money is not dichotomous.13Hicks’ Interpretation: LM CurveHicks’ Interpretation: LM CurveLM Curve (L=M): all those combinations of real interest rates and income which bring the money supply equal to money demand.rLMY14LM Curve Slopes Upward Because...LM Curve Slopes Upward Because...z Assumes Ms= M0(exogenous)z If Y increases, transactions and precautionary demand increase.– There will be excess demand in the money markets– Interest rates will be driven upwardz So Y↑→ r↑, and the LM Curve slopes upward.MrMd(Y0)Md(Y1)Msr1r015LM Curve Slopes Upward Because...LM Curve Slopes Upward Because...Liquidity Preference is:L = L(Y,r)Money Supply is:Ms= M0= MMs= MdimpliesM = L(Y,r) Æ LM CurveDifferentiating:0)()(>−+−=∂∂∂∂−=rLYLdYdr16LM and the Money MarketLM and the Money MarketMMsYr0r1rrMd(Y1)Md(Y0)Md(Y2)Y0Y1Y2LM17Changes in Money SupplyChanges in Money SupplyMrMdMs↓ MsMs↑r*Ms↓Ms↑18Capital MarketCapital Marketz Investment I = I(r,E) = I(r)z But Saving S = S(Y) or S(Yd)z So there is not a single “price variable” to clear the capital market!z I(r) = S(Y) Æ IS Curve: IS = IS(Y,r)z IS: all those combinations of Y and r which make the “capital market” clear.z Equivalently, IS is all those combinations of Y and r for which supply = demand in the loanable funds market.z Thus the real sector cannot be resolved without considering money market outcomes.– Money is NOT dichotomous.19IS CurveIS CurverISSlopes downward becauser↑→ I↓→ Y↓Y20IS Curve Slopes Downward Because...IS Curve Slopes Downward Because...Recall that:I + T = S + GorI(r) + T0= S(Y) + G0Differentiate implicitly with respect to Y and r:0)()(<−+==drdIdYdsdYdr21r SIIr0r1r2I0I1I2YISr0r1r2Y0Y1Y2YI2= S2I1= S1I0= S0Y2Y1Y0S22Money and InvestmentMoney and InvestmentThe interest rate is determined in the money market.
