Loanable Funds Market Chapter 24

TIPS Bond The US Treasury offers bonds whose principal and coupon payments increase with the inflation rate. Investors are paid off in terms of real purchasing power. Yield is equivalent to a real interest rate. Additional Information from U.S. Treasury

Loanable Funds Market Consider the financial market at its broadest and most abstract. an amalgamation of the bond market and the lending market (banks, etc.) Map the relationship between the real interest rate and the quantity of funds that are lent. Supply curve represents the behavior of savers & lenders Demand curve represents the behavior of borrowers
5
Demand Curve: Loanable Funds Why does the demand curve slope down? Firms borrow to finance investment projects. If the return on investment falls below the interest rate, the project is not worthwhile. The higher the interest rate, the fewer projects are above the hurdle. Households borrow to finance housing. The higher are interest rates, the smaller is the house that the householders can buy with a mortgage payment that they can afford.
6
Supply Curve: Loanable Funds Why does the supply curve slope up? Substitution Effect: When real interest rates offered by banks are high, savers are rewarded with more future consumption and are likely to be induced to save more.

Closed economy equilibrium In closed economy, market forces should cause supply and demand for loanable funds to equilibrate at a real interest rate where supply equals demand. Shifts in demand or supply change equilibrium real rate as in standard supply-demand model.

Demand for Loanable Funds: Determinants Private 1. Real interest rate – 2. Restrictions (LtV, Collateral Constraints) Corporate 3. Profitability of business projects + 4. Uncertainty of business investment – 5. Retained earnings – Mortgage Market 6. Demand for Housing + Public 1. Government Deficits + 2. Corporate Profits Tax –

Supply of Loanable Funds: Determinants Private 1. Real interest rate + Household 2. Disposable Income + 3. Expected Future Income – 4. Value of Assets/Wealth – 5. Default Risk – 6. Uncertainty of Future Income + Public 5. Government Surplus + 6. Interest Income Tax –

Government Surplus Government surplus is gap between govt revenue and outlays and can be positive or negative. If net positive, it adds to the supply of loanable funds. If net negative, it adds to the demand for loanable funds.

Globalization and the Loanable Funds Market OUaT, we might have thought of the loanable funds market as being national in nature – especially for large economies. These days it appears that even the USA is part of a single global market. [China possible exception] Otherwise take global interest rate as given.

National Loanable Funds Markets in a Global World How do national economies relate to the global financial market? 1. Countries will face an external interest rate, r W, unaffected by national savings or investment. 2. International lending (borrowing) will make up the gap between savings and investment.

Ex Ante Rate and the Fisher Effect Savings and investment decisions must be made before future inflation is known so they must be made on the basis of an ex ante (predicted) real interest rate. Fisher Hypothesis: Ex ante real interest rate is determined by forces in the financial market. Money interest rate is just the real ex ante rate plus the market’s consensus forecast of inflation.

Learning Outcome Use the Loanable Funds model to analyze the effects of events on savings, investment, and real interest rates in capital markets. Model Global Loanable Funds market and the determinants of current accounts. Use expected inflation and the Fisher effect to determine nominal interest rates.
