Macroeconomic Themes:31 Contribution of Monetarism in Macroeconomic Policy Supply of money is the determinant of the national income In the long run, the influence of money is primarily on the price level and other nominal magnitudes. Real output and employment are not determined by monetary factors. In the short run the supply of money does affect the output. Money is the dominant factor in causing cyclical fluctuations in output and employment in the short run. Private sector is inherently stable and instability is primarily the result of the government policy.
Macroeconomic Themes:32 Policy conclusions Stability in the growth rate of money supply is crucial for a stable economy. Monetarists favour a constant money growth rate policy rule rather than discretion. Fiscal policy does not have any systematic impact on real or nominal income.
