The nominal interest rate is the rate of interest before adjusting for inflation. This is how money supply and money demand come together to determine nominal interest rates in an economy. These explanations are also accompanied by relevant graphs that will help illustrate these economic transactions. In the U.S., the money supply is influenced by supply and demand—and the actions of the Federal Reserve and commercial banks. The Federal Reserve sets interest rates, which determine what banks charge each other to borrow money, what the Fed charges banks to borrow money and what the consumer has to pay to borrow money. A Simple Model of the Demand for Money 7.3 Evidence that the Demand for Money Depends on the Interest Rate The “Velocity” of Money Preview In the last chapter we saw how the Federal Reserve can change the quantity of money in existence at will. In this chapter we will see how a change in the quantity of money causes interest rates to rise Every 1% rise in government expenditure led to a decrease in the interest rate by 1.48%, whereas every 1% rise in money supply led to an increase in the interest rate by 1.16%. Similar to the determination of the prices of goods and services, the prices of funds, i.e. the general level of interest rates, are determined by the demand for and the supply of funds. If the demand for funds increases and/or the supply declines, the price of funds will rise, i.e. interest rates will move higher. rate of the money supply will result in an increase in inflation and an increase in the nominal interest rate, which will match the increase in the inflation rate. Fisher (1930) first put forward that the relationship between interest rates and inflation is termed as the Fisher Effect. It postulates that the nominal interest interest rate adjusts to bring money supply and demand into balance. 25 2. Determination of interest rate in the money market Money Market Equilibrium yThe interest rate is determined by the supply of and demand for money. yAt any given moment in time, the quantity of real money supplied is a fixed amount since the Fed can influence the supply

Demand for Money? • Interest rates: money pays little or no interest, so the interest rate is the opportunity cost of holding money instead of other assets, like bonds, which have a higher expected return/interest rate. ♦ A higher interest rate means a higher opportunity cost of holding money → lower money demand. The common traditional consensus among economists is that the central bank cannot target both interest rate and money supply at the same time. The central bank chooses either the monetary base as its main instrument (Meltzer,1987;McCallum,1988;Friedman,1960) or the common interbank rate (Taylor,1993). be implemented by a stabilizing (and intuitive) money supply procedure only if the interest rate target is sufficiently inertial. Notably, the latter property, which is commonly found 5 ECB Working Paper Series No. 483 May 2005 The existence of the positive relationship between money supply and the interest rates found in this present study can be caused by the money demand changes that are greater than those of money
Figure 1. Monetary Policy and Interest Rates. The original equilibrium occurs at E 0 . An expansionary monetary policy will shift the supply of loanable funds to the right from the original supply curve (S 0 ) to the new supply curve (S 1 ) and to a new equilibrium of E 1 , reducing the interest rate from 8% to 6%. Interest Rates. Interest refers to the amount of money that a person pays to take out a loan. Financial institutions profit when they loan out a certain amount of money and require the borrower to repay the initial loan, plus an additional amount of money, which is a specific percentage of the loan.
