51. TM 13-51 Copyright © 1998 Addison Wesley Longman, Inc. Learning Objectives (cont.) Explain how banks create money Explain why the quantity of money is an important economic magnitude Explain the quantity theory of money

52. TM 13-52 Copyright © 1998 Addison Wesley Longman, Inc. Money, Real GDP, and the Price Level The Quantity Theory of Money The quantity theory of money is the proposition that in the long run, an increase in the quantity of money brings an equal percentage increase in the price level. This theory is based upon the velocity of circulation and the equation of exchange.

53. TM 13-53 Copyright © 1998 Addison Wesley Longman, Inc. Money, Real GDP, and the Price Level The Quantity Theory of Money The velocity of circulation is the average number of times a dollar of money is used annually to buy goods and services that make up GDP.

54. TM 13-54 Copyright © 1998 Addison Wesley Longman, Inc. Money, Real GDP, and the Price Level GDP equals the price level (P) times real GDP (Y), or: GDP = PY

55. TM 13-55 Copyright © 1998 Addison Wesley Longman, Inc. Money, Real GDP, and the Price Level Make the quantity of money M, and the velocity of circulation V is determined by: V = PY/M

56. TM 13-56 Copyright © 1998 Addison Wesley Longman, Inc. The Velocity of Circulation in the United States: 1930–1996

57. TM 13-57 Copyright © 1998 Addison Wesley Longman, Inc. Money, Real GDP, and the Price Level The equation of exchange states that the quantity of money (M) multiplied by the velocity of circulation (V) equals GDP, or MV=PY

58. TM 13-58 Copyright © 1998 Addison Wesley Longman, Inc. Money, Real GDP, and the Price Level We can convert the equation of exchange into the quantity theory of money by making two assumptions: 1)The velocity of circulation is not influenced by the quantity of money. 2)Potential GDP is not influenced by the quantity of money.

59. TM 13-59 Copyright © 1998 Addison Wesley Longman, Inc. Money, Real GDP, and the Price Level Assuming this is true, the equation of exchange tells us that a change in the quantity of money causes an equal proportional change in the price level.

60. TM 13-60 Copyright © 1998 Addison Wesley Longman, Inc. Money, Real GDP, and the Price Level This can be shown by using the equation of exchange to solve for the price level. P = (V/Y)M

61. TM 13-61 Copyright © 1998 Addison Wesley Longman, Inc. Money, Real GDP, and the Price Level In the long run, real GDP equals potential GDP, so the relationship between the change in the price level and the quantity of money is:

62. TM 13-62 Copyright © 1998 Addison Wesley Longman, Inc. Money, Real GDP, and the Price Level Dividing this equation by an earlier one, P = (V/Y)M, gives us

63. TM 13-63 Copyright © 1998 Addison Wesley Longman, Inc. Money, Real GDP, and the Price Level This equation shows that the proportionate change in the price level equals the proportionate change in the quantity of money. This gives us the quantity theory of money: In the long run, the percentage increase in the price level equals the percentage increase in the quantity of money.

64. TM 13-64 Copyright © 1998 Addison Wesley Longman, Inc. Money, Real GDP, and the Price Level The AS-AD model predicts the same outcome as the quantity theory of money. It also predicts a less precise relationship between the quantity of money and the price level in the short run than in the long run.

65. TM 13-65 Copyright © 1998 Addison Wesley Longman, Inc. Money, Real GDP, and the Price Level Historical Evidence on the Quantity Theory of Money The data are broadly consistent with the quantity theory of money, but the relationship is not precise. The relationship is stronger in the long run than in the short run.

71. TM 13-71 Copyright © 1998 Addison Wesley Longman, Inc. Money, Real GDP, and the Price Level Correlation, Causation, and Other Influences This does not represent causation. Does money growth cause inflation, or does inflation cause money growth? Does some other factor cause inflation (deficit spending)?
