Document Summary

Interest - simplified, is the price paid for the use of money. Transactions demand for money - demand for money as a medium of exchange. Level of nominal gdp is main determinant of money demanded for transactions. Asset demand for money - extent that people want to hold money as an asset. Public needs to decide how much of financial assets to hold as money rather than turning it into bonds or stocks. Total demand for money - horizontally add assets demand to transactions demand. Increase in nominal gdp will mean public will want more money for transactions, demand for money increases, shifts curve to right. Decline in nominal gdp will shift total money demand curve to left. Equilibrium interest rate is determined by money demand and supply, it occurs when ppl are willing to hold the exact amount of money being supplied by monetary authorities. Interest rates and bond prices are inversely related.
