How Monetary Policy Influences Aggregate Demand
• Remember: AD slopes downward b/c of wealth effect, interest rate effect & exchange rate effect
• All 3 effects occur simultaneously, but interest rate effect is most important

Theory of Liquidity Preference
• Keynes’s theory that the interest rate adjusts to bring money supply and money demand into balance- we assume nominal & real interest rates move together

Money Supply
• Is controlled by Federal Reserve• Because Fed controls it w/o regard to other
econ. Variables; it’s represented with vertical supply curve

Money Demand
• Liquidity – how easy asset can be converted into medium of exchange ($ is most liquid)
• As interest rate rises, the quantity of money demanded falls – downward sloping demand
• Interest rate adjusts to bring money demand and money supply into balance

Downward Slope of AD Curve
• When PL increases, people demand more $, this shifts money demand curve to the right
• With fixed money supply, interest rate must rise
![Page 8: Chapter 32 Influence of Monetary & Fiscal Policy on Aggregate Demand](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5681620d550346895dd23970/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• With higher interest rate, return on saving increase so consumers more likely to save and less likely to invest in new housing
• Therefore, Q of goods & services will fall; basically explaining interest rate effect

Changes in Money Supply
• Fed buys bonds in open market operations – will increase supply of money; shifts money supply to right, interest rate falls & AD shifts right
![Page 10: Chapter 32 Influence of Monetary & Fiscal Policy on Aggregate Demand](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5681620d550346895dd23970/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Interest Rate Targets
• Monetary policy can be described either in terms of the money supply or the interest rate
• Fed sometimes targets a specific federal funds rate (interest rate for banks) rather than a certain money supply
![Page 11: Chapter 32 Influence of Monetary & Fiscal Policy on Aggregate Demand](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5681620d550346895dd23970/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Fed & The Stock Market
• Fed will try to stabilize economy by lowering interest rates when stock market is down and by raising interest rates when stock market is soaring

Fiscal Policy & Aggregate Demand
• By changing taxing & spending, it shifts AD directly
• How much a change in gov’t purchases increases AD is based on Multiplier effect & Crowding Out effect
![Page 13: Chapter 32 Influence of Monetary & Fiscal Policy on Aggregate Demand](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5681620d550346895dd23970/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Fiscal Policy Influences Aggregate Demand• Primary effect of fiscal policy in the short run is on
AD• If Fed changes money supply, they influence
spending decisions of firms and households and thereby INDIRECTLY affect AD
• If Govt. changes tax rates, they influence the spending decisions of firms and households and thereby INDIRECTLY affect AD
• If Govt. changes its own spending, it DIRECTLY affects AD
![Page 14: Chapter 32 Influence of Monetary & Fiscal Policy on Aggregate Demand](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5681620d550346895dd23970/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
If the Govt. increases spending by $20 billion dollars, how far does AD shift? To what extent does GDP increase?
The Multiplier Effect suggests that …….
The shift in AD could be larger than the change in Govt. spending (larger than $20 b)
![Page 15: Chapter 32 Influence of Monetary & Fiscal Policy on Aggregate Demand](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5681620d550346895dd23970/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
G buys $20 from Boeing
Boeing increases employment/income
Increase Consumer Spending/Electronics
Electronics Industry. hires more
Increase ConsumerSpending
GDP +$20
![Page 16: Chapter 32 Influence of Monetary & Fiscal Policy on Aggregate Demand](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5681620d550346895dd23970/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Spending Multiplier• MPC• Fraction of extra income that a household
consumes rather than saves• If MPC = .80…..it means that…….• For every extra dollar of income the
household earns, the household will spend 0.80…and save 0.20
![Page 17: Chapter 32 Influence of Monetary & Fiscal Policy on Aggregate Demand](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5681620d550346895dd23970/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• If MPC is 0.80, then MPS is …..• 0.20• If Govt. spends $20b…then that is extra income for
Boeing and they will spend…….• $16 b and save $4b…..• and that spending is an extra $16b income for
others, of that they will spend…..• $12.8 b and save $3.2 b…….• And that spending is an extra $12.8b income for
others, of that they will spend…..• $10.24 b and save $2.56b…..and so on and on….
![Page 18: Chapter 32 Influence of Monetary & Fiscal Policy on Aggregate Demand](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5681620d550346895dd23970/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• So the multiplier is 1 / (1-MPC) …. or ….• 1/MPS • ……so the original $20 b of increased govt.
spending could generate a total of ……• $100 b ……..how? • $20 b initial increase x 1/.20 ….• $20 b x 5 = $100 b• COULD?????? Why the word “could” ?• The larger the MPC, …the …..• Larger the Multiplier……..Explain

Changes in Taxes
• Affects AD like spending except, indirectly so therefore you have to look at MPC & MPS closely
• Also impacted by multiplier & crowding out effects
• If tax cuts/increases are seen as permanent, it has larger impact than temporary ones
![Page 20: Chapter 32 Influence of Monetary & Fiscal Policy on Aggregate Demand](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/5681620d550346895dd23970/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Crowding Out Effect
• If gov’t uses fiscal policy to expand (lowers taxes, increases spending) it will have multiplier effect on AD, but it also will cause interest rate to rise
• This rise in interest rate will decrease investment, which lowers AD thereby “crowding out” some of the growth (gov’t spending crowds out investment spending)
