CHAPTER 11 Money Demand and the Equilibrium Interest Rate
The Demand for Money
When we speak of the demand for money, we are
concerned with how much of your financial assets
you want to hold in the form of money, which does
not earn interest, versus how much you want to
hold in interest-bearing securities, such as bonds.
The Transaction Motive
transaction motive The main reason that people
hold money—to buy things.

Jim could decide to deposit his entire paycheck ($1,200) into his checking account at the start of the month
and run his balance down to zero by the end of the month. In this case, his average balance would be $600.

Jim could also choose to put half of his paycheck into his checking account and buy a bond with the other half of
his income. 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.

CHAPTER 11 Money Demand and the Equilibrium Interest Rate
The Transaction Motive
 FIGURE 11.4 The Demand Curve for Money Balances
The quantity of money demanded (the amount of money households and firms want to hold) is a function of
the interest rate. 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.

The Demand for Money
CHAPTER 11 Money Demand and the Equilibrium Interest Rate
The Speculation Motive
speculation motive One reason for holding
bonds instead of money: Because the market
price of interest-bearing bonds is inversely related
to the interest rate, investors may want to hold
bonds when interest rates are high with the hope
of selling them when interest rates fall.

The Demand for Money
CHAPTER 11 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.

The Total Demand for Money
ATMs and the Demand
for Money
Italy makes a great case study of the
effects of the spread of ATMs on the
demand for money. 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.

CHAPTER 11 Money Demand and the Equilibrium Interest Rate
The Effects of Income and the Price Level on the Demand for Money
 FIGURE 11.5 An Increase in Aggregate Output (Income) (Y) Will Shift the Money Demand Curve
to the Right
An increase in Y means that there is more economic activity. 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.

The Demand for Money
CHAPTER 11 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.

interest rate.)

CHAPTER 11 Money Demand and the Equilibrium Interest Rate
The Equilibrium Interest Rate
We are now in a position to consider one of the
key questions in macroeconomics: How is the
interest rate determined in the economy?
The point at which the quantity of money
demanded equals the quantity of money supplied
determines the equilibrium interest rate in the
economy.

Supply and Demand in the Money Market
 FIGURE 11.6 Adjustments
in the Money Market
Equilibrium exists in the money
market when the supply of money
is equal to the demand for money
and thus when the supply of bonds
is equal to the demand for bonds.
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).

equilibrium.

The quantity of money demanded is greater than the quantity
of money supplied.

APPENDIX A
THE VARIOUS INTEREST RATES IN THE U.S. ECONOMY
CHAPTER 11 Money Demand and the Equilibrium Interest Rate
THE TERM STRUCTURE OF INTEREST RATES
The term structure of interest rates is the
relationship among the interest rates offered on
securities of different maturities.
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.
