According to the quantity theory of money, if the money supply increases by 5%, the price level
falls by 5%. |
||
does not change. |
||
rises by 5%. |
||
rises by more than 5%. |
Ans. Option Rises by 5%
According to quantity theory of money,
Money Supply * Velocity of money = Price Level * Real Output
=> M*V = P*Y
Using natural log, Ln on both sides and differentiating with respect to time period, t, we get,
%Change in money supply + %Change in velocity of money = %Change in price level + %Change in real output
=> Thus, with 5% increase in money supply, keeping everything
else constant, there will be a 5% increase in price level.
