• MV = PY
• where• M = quantity of money• P = price level• Y = real output = real income• V = velocity
= # times money used to purchase output
• MV = PY
• where• M = quantity of money• P = price level• Y = real output = real income• V = velocity

• V is constant in short-run• depends on institutions,
technology that change slowly

Keynes & velocityKeynes & velocityKeynes & velocityKeynes & velocity
• MV = PY• M/P = Y/V
• M/P = f(i,Y)
• Y/V = f(i,Y)
• V = Y/f(i,Y)• velocity fluctuates with the interest rate
-- both are procyclical

• further extended Keynes approach• transaction demand negatively
related to the interest rate• people hold money even when is
has a lower return, b/c it is less risky

• Yp = permanent income
• rb = expected bond return
• rm = expected money return
• re = expected equity return
e = expected inflation

• rb = expected bond return
• rm = expected money return
• re = expected equity return
e = expected inflation
• rb - rm = relative return on bonds

• increase in Yp will increase Md
• increase in relative returns of bonds, equity or money• decrease Md
• increase in Yp will increase Md

• Friedman:• multiple rates of return• relative returns• money & goods are substitutes• Yp more important than current
income

• Friedman’s Md function is more stable• Yp more stable than current income• spread between returns is more
stable than returns
-- interest rates have little impact on Md
