1 The nominal demand for money is a stable function of a list of variables which might include the following : ( a ) Total wealth ( W ) .
2 In this theory , the real demand for money is proportional to real output ( and does not depend on interest rates at all ) .
3 Thus the demand for money is seen to depend upon the relative yield or attraction of money and a wide range of other assets , and so ‘ money ’ is taken to be an equal substitute for all these other types of assets .
4 Since the demand for money is related to several variables , according to Friedman and the monetarists , then it may be difficult to measure the precise effect of a change in one of these variables on the demand for money .
5 Because the demand for money is fairly stable there should be a reasonably predictable effect in terms of increased demand for other assets , which may be real or financial .
6 The transactions plus precautionary demand for money is termed L 1 .
7 The demand for money is also influenced by expectations of price changes and the levels of interest rates over the longer term .
8 Keynesians argue that the demand for money is elastic with respect to interest rates and also unstable .
9 Monetarists argue that the demand for money is inelastic with respect to interest rates and also fairly stable over time .
10 The problem is more acute if the overall demand for money is inelastic and is subject to fluctuations .
11 According to Keynesians , the speculative demand for money is highly responsive to changes in interest rates .
12 Thus , the demand for money is called a transactions demand .
13 This demand for money is also likely to depend on national income : the higher the total value of transactions , the more money will be needed to guard against unexpected transactions .
14 This enables us to combine it with the transactions demand and to suppose that the total transactions and precautionary demand for money is a function of money national income .
15 However , the major weakness of the Keynesian theory of the demand for money is that it is couched in terms of a choice simply between money and bonds .
16 Secondly , in the Keynesian function ( where money is a close substitute for bonds ) , the demand for money is interest-elastic because if the rate of interest earned from holding bonds changes , wealth holders are assumed to react only by changing their money holdings ; but in Friedman 's function ( where money is a substitute for all other assets , both financial and real ) , the demand for money is believed to exhibit low interest-elasticity .
17 Secondly , in the Keynesian function ( where money is a close substitute for bonds ) , the demand for money is interest-elastic because if the rate of interest earned from holding bonds changes , wealth holders are assumed to react only by changing their money holdings ; but in Friedman 's function ( where money is a substitute for all other assets , both financial and real ) , the demand for money is believed to exhibit low interest-elasticity .
18 This reflects the monetarist view that the demand for money is interest-inelastic .
19 Notice from graph ( a ) that at an interest rate of 5 per cent , the speculative demand for money is £20 million .
20 The speculative demand for money is very low at this interest rate and equal to only £5 million .
21 In Fig. 2 , the reader should be able to confirm that for interest rates above Oi 1 , where the speculative demand for money is zero , the LM curve becomes vertical .
22 When the demand for money is perfectly interest-elastic , the LM curve is horizontal , as illustrated in Fig. 9 .
