2. The real demand for money (Md = Md (nominal)/P) is expressed as a linear function:

(1) Md = kY-hr

(2) Ms = Md

a)         Explain the sign of coefficients k and h. What types of money demand do they refer to?

b)         Explain why there is no equation for the money supply.

c)         Using equation (1), express i as the function of Y (simply solve it for r variable).

d)         Draw the function obtained in point (c)

1. Decompose the liquidity preference demand for money function: Md = Dt(PY) + Da(R). That is, what are the different reasons we wish to hold money and what are these reasons/demands determined by (or a "function of")? And, in our model of the economy, “where” & how is the equilibrium interest rate determined? 2. Briefly explain with—or without—a bit of maths, why bond prices & interest rates are inversely related.
