Motivation
• Monetary Policy works primarily by manipulating interest rates
• Interest rates are determined in the bond market by the demand and supply for bonds
• Interest rates change because of shifts in demand and supply for bonds

We look at three perspectives on the bond market
• Bonds as financial assets: Theory of asset demand and asset allocation. S&D for Bonds.
• Loanable funds: Supply & Demand for loanable funds. Savings and Investment. Bond demand is one component of the aggregate supply of loanable funds.
What’s being traded - Bonds or the use of funds?
• Liquidity Preference: View bonds as an alternative to holding money.

Bonds as a Financial Asset Demand for Financial Assets
• Wealth - the total resources owned by the individual, including all assets
• Expected Return - the return expected over the next period on one asset relative to alternative assets
• Risk - the degree of uncertainty associated with the return on one asset relative to alternative assets
• Liquidity - the ease and speed with which an asset can be turned into cash relative to alternative assets
![Page 6: Chapter 5 Lecture The Behavior of Interest Rates](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56649dde5503460f94ad76e7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Demand for Financial AssetsHolding all other factors constant, the demand
for an asset is:• positively related to wealth
• positively related to its expected return relative to alternative assets
• negatively related to the risk of its returns relative to alternative assets
• positively related to its liquidity relative to alternative assets
![Page 7: Chapter 5 Lecture The Behavior of Interest Rates](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56649dde5503460f94ad76e7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Demand and Supply Curves for Bonds
• At lower prices (higher interest rates), ceteris paribus, the quantity demanded of bonds (lenders) is higher - an inverse relationship
• At lower prices (higher interest rates), ceteris paribus, the quantity supplied of bonds (borrowers) is lower - a positive relationship
![Page 8: Chapter 5 Lecture The Behavior of Interest Rates](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56649dde5503460f94ad76e7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
This example is for a one-year zero coupon bond

Market Equilibrium
• Occurs when the quantity that people are willing to buy equals the quantity that people are willing to sell at a given price.
• Bd = Bs : the equilibrium or market clearing price and interest rate.
• When Bd > Bs : excess demand, investors will bid-up the price and interest rate will fall.
• When Bd < Bs : excess supply, sellers will lower the price and interest rate will rise
![Page 10: Chapter 5 Lecture The Behavior of Interest Rates](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56649dde5503460f94ad76e7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
How Factors Shift the Demand Curve
1. Wealth/saving• As economy grows, income and wealth
increase• Bd => Bd shifts out to right
• As economy contracts, income and wealth fall
• Bd , => Bd shifts in to left
![Page 11: Chapter 5 Lecture The Behavior of Interest Rates](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56649dde5503460f94ad76e7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How Factors Shift the Demand Curve2. Expected Returns on bonds
• If i is expected to fall in future, expected return for long-term bonds
• Bd shifts out to right (increase in demand)
• If i is expected to rise in future, expected return for long-term bonds
• Bd shifts in to left (decrease in demand)
![Page 12: Chapter 5 Lecture The Behavior of Interest Rates](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56649dde5503460f94ad76e7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
How Factors Shift the Demand Curve
3. Expected Returns on other assets─ As the expected return on other asset
increase relative to return for long-term bonds
─ Bonds become less attractive
─ Bd shifts in to left (decrease in demand)

How Factors Shift the Demand Curve
4. Risk -• Risk of bonds , Bd • Bd shifts out to right
• Risk of other assets , Bd • Bd shifts out to right

Shift in the Demand Curve for Bonds

Shifts in the Supply of Bonds1. Expected Profitability of Investment
Opportunities: in a business cycle expansion, the supply of bonds increases, conversely, in a recession, when there are far fewer expected profitable investment opportunities, the supply of bonds falls
2. Expected Inflation: an increase in expected inflation causes the supply of bonds to increase
3. Government Activities: higher government deficits increase the supply of bonds, conversely, government surpluses decrease the supply of bonds

What happened here?

Loanable Funds - Use of Funds Approach
1. Demand for bonds = supply of loanable funds
2. Supply of bonds = demand for loanable funds
![Page 25: Chapter 5 Lecture The Behavior of Interest Rates](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56649dde5503460f94ad76e7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Liquidity Preference Framework
• proposed by John Maynard Keynes.
• from the perspective of ‘money’
• assume there are 2 assets: bond + money = total wealth
![Page 26: Chapter 5 Lecture The Behavior of Interest Rates](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56649dde5503460f94ad76e7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The Liquidity Preference Framework
Md - Ms
two assets: bonds + money = total wealth supply side: Ms + Bs = Wealth demand side: Bd + Md = Wealth
Ms + Bs = Bd + Md
Re-arranging:
Ms – Md = Bd – Bs
Conclusion:
If money market is in equilibrium (money demand equals money supply: Md = Ms ), then bond market is also in equilibrium (bond demand equals bond supply: Bd = Bs).
![Page 27: Chapter 5 Lecture The Behavior of Interest Rates](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56649dde5503460f94ad76e7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Keynesian Liquidity Preference Analysis
Derivation of Demand Curve• As i , the opportunity cost of holding money
Md The demand curve for money has the usual downward slope
Derivation of Supply curve• Assume that central bank controls Ms and it is a
fixed amount. Ms curve is vertical line
Market Equilibrium• Occurs when Md = Ms
![Page 28: Chapter 5 Lecture The Behavior of Interest Rates](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56649dde5503460f94ad76e7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Equilibrium in the Market for Money
![Page 29: Chapter 5 Lecture The Behavior of Interest Rates](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56649dde5503460f94ad76e7/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Market equilibrium• equilibrium quantity of money: Md = Ms
• equilibrium interest rate: i*
• If i > i* , Ms > Md (excess supply of money) Central bank supply of money is greater than
the amount of money people are willing to hold price of bonds , i back to i*
• If i < i*, Md > Ms (excess demand for money) price of bonds , i back to i*
![Page 30: Chapter 5 Lecture The Behavior of Interest Rates](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56649dde5503460f94ad76e7/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Shifts in the Demand for Money
• Income Effect - a higher level of income causes the demand for money at each interest rate to increase and the demand curve to shift to the right
• Price-Level Effect - a rise in the price level causes the demand for money at each interest rate to increase and the demand curve to shift to the right
![Page 31: Chapter 5 Lecture The Behavior of Interest Rates](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56649dde5503460f94ad76e7/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Increase in Income or the Price Level
![Page 32: Chapter 5 Lecture The Behavior of Interest Rates](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56649dde5503460f94ad76e7/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Shifts in the Supply of Money
• The supply of money is controlled by the central bank
• An increase in the money supply by the Federal Reserve will shift the supply curve for money to the right
![Page 33: Chapter 5 Lecture The Behavior of Interest Rates](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56649dde5503460f94ad76e7/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Response to an Increase in Money Supply
![Page 34: Chapter 5 Lecture The Behavior of Interest Rates](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56649dde5503460f94ad76e7/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Does Everything Else Remain Equal?• Liquidity preference framework says that an
increase in the money supply will lower interest rates, if other things remain unchanged - the liquidity effect.
• Noble prize winner Milton Friedman argued:
• Over time, as the economy expands and income increases, get an Income Effect. The demand curve for money, Md , shifts to the right and interest rates begin to rise.
![Page 35: Chapter 5 Lecture The Behavior of Interest Rates](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56649dde5503460f94ad76e7/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Everything Else Remaining Equal (?)
• Also, over time, can get a Price Level effect. A rise in the price level causes demand curve for money to shift to the right which will cause interest rates to rise.
• There may also be an Expected-Inflation effect which causes an increase in interest rates because the increase in the money supply may lead people to expect a higher price level in the future (the demand curve shifts to the right).
![Page 36: Chapter 5 Lecture The Behavior of Interest Rates](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56649dde5503460f94ad76e7/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Read Mishkin Carefully - Note the shift from “money supply” to “growth in the money supply”. Price-Level Effect and Expected-Inflation Effect
• A one time increase in the money supply will cause prices to rise to a permanently higher level by the end of the year. The interest rate will rise via the increased prices.
• A rising price level will raise interest rates because people will expect inflation to be higher over the course of the year. When the price level stops rising, expectations of inflation will return to zero.
![Page 37: Chapter 5 Lecture The Behavior of Interest Rates](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56649dde5503460f94ad76e7/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Read Mishkin Carefully - Note the shift from “money supply” to “growth in the money supply” Price-Level Effect and Expected-Inflation Effect
• Expected-inflation effect persists only as long as the price level continues to rise which requires continued money growth.

Money Supply Growth and the Effects on Interest Rates
Liquidity Effect: Ms growth i
Income Effect: i Income Md i
Price Level Effect: Income Price level Md i
Expected Inflation Effect: Ms Price level πe Bd Bs Fisher effect i
What’s the net effect on interest rate?
Effect of higher rate of money growth on interest rates is ambiguous.
