ECONOMICS (CBSE/UGC NET)

Detailed explanation-1: -As such, an increase in the growth rate of the money supply (for any reason, including to pay for government spending) results in inflation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Every time a dollar is deposited into a bank account, a bank’s total reserves increases. The bank will keep some of it on hand as required reserves, but it will loan the excess reserves out. When that loan is made, it increases the money supply. This is how banks “create” money and increase the money supply.

Detailed explanation-3: -A larger money supply lowers market interest rates, making it less expensive for consumers to borrow. Conversely, smaller money supplies tend to raise market interest rates, making it pricier for consumers to take out a loan.

Detailed explanation-4: -Shifts in the IS curve: As government spending increases, output increases for any given interest rate. IS Curve: At lower interest rates, equilibrium output in the goods market is higher. An increase in government spending shifts out the IS curve.
