Keynesian RoI Determination = Liquidity Preference Theory

Money

Supply Demand

It is determined as per
the requirements of the

Keynesian RoI Determination (LPT) - continued
The LP curve is SHAPED -vely by DICB
Demand for Money As DICB = f (RoI),
When RoI increase, less money will be
demanded for speculation
When RoI decrease, more money will be
RoI demanded for speculation

The LP curve is POSITIONED by DACB

As DACB = f (NI),
DY1
An increase in NI will lead to an increase in
the demand for money and so the Liquidity
Preference curve will shift upwards to the
right
A decrease in NI will lead to a decrease in
LP2 the demand for money and so the
Liquidity Preference curve will shift
LP1 downwards to the left

the RoI rises (i1o to i20) (i.e., E1o to E20)

If both demand for money and
supply of money changes, then the
