Quantity Theory - II
• Two predictions:
• Money demand
• How M affects P
September 6, 2021 10
Quantity Theory - II
• Real balances = Md / P
• Using M = Md (money market clearing), quantity theory states:
Md / P = k Y,
where “k” is a constant (=1/V)

Quantity Theory - IV
• Growth in output Y comes from input and TFP growth, and constant
velocity implies that change in V = 0.
∆P/P = ∆M/M
• Therefore, a 1% increase in the money supply by the Fed will show
up as a 1% increase in the price level (the rate of inflation)

The Monetary Base, the Money
Multiplier, and the Money Supply
in the United States
• We saw M = CU + DEP, and BASE = CU + RES. Use these to
get: M = m BASE, where m is the money multiplier.
m = (cu + 1)/(cu + res)
• res: Low res yields high m. Fed policy and bank behavior
determine reserve-to-deposit ratio
