The document discusses two concepts of demand for money: the classical view and the modern view. [1] Under the classical view, money is demanded for exchange transactions and depends on the volume of exchange in the market. [2] The modern view, known as Keynes' view, sees money as being demanded to hold as a store of value due to liquidity preference. [3] The demand for money under this view is influenced by transaction, precautionary, and speculative motives and depends on both income levels and interest rates.

Demand for Money
Dr. M Manjunath Shettigar
The demand for money Two different concepts of demand for money:
Medium of exchange concept of the demand for
money-CLASSICAL VIEW
Store of value concept of the demand for money-
MODERN VIEW CLASSICAL VIEW Money is not demanded for its own sake Demand arises on account of exchange transactions, from the demand for goods and services Depends upon the supply of exchangeable goods and services available in the market which is not constant So is demand for money which varies from time to time and determined exclusively by objective factors such as volume of exchange transactions
Equation of Exchange is MV=PT
M=total quantity of money, V=velocity of circulation P=price level, T= total amount of goods and services exchanged for money Velocity of circulation of money A unit of money may be spent several times during given period of time
Average number of times money is transferred from
one person to another in a given period of time is known as velocity of circulation of money
Hence total supply of money in a given period is
total amount of money in circulation multiplied by its velocity of circulation Factors affecting velocity i. Quantity of money ii. Frequency of cash transactions iii. Credit facilities iv. System of wage payment v. Regularity or irregularity of income vi. Size of propensity to consume vii. Distribution of income viii. Peoples liquidity preference ix. Business conditions x. Stage of economic development xi. Future estimates of prices xii. Mobility of credit money MODERN VIEW also known as Keynes view Demand for money means the demand to hold money or cash balances
Also known as liquidity preference which is the
demand for liquidity or cash, desire to hold assets in cash
Money is not merely to be spent but held as a
form of wealth
It serves as an excellent store of value
Motives behind liquidity preference Transaction motive/demand is the need of cash for the current transactions of personal and business exchange Further split as i) business motive : to bridge the interval between the time of incurring business costs and receipt of sale proceeds- transaction motives of businessmen, industrialists, traders, merchants, etc. who require certain amount of money in order to carry on their day-to-day business ii) income motive: to bridge the interval between the receipt of income and its disbursement- transaction motive of the consumers who require cash balances to make day-to-day purchases of goods and services for consumption Transaction demand for money is directly proportional and positive function of the level of income. Depends on two things: i)on the business turnover ii) on the timing and size of personal incomes Precautionary motive/demand Desire to provide for contingencies requiring sudden expenditure and for unforeseen opportunities of advantageous purchases Both individuals and businessmen keep cash in reserve to meet unexpected needs Represents the store of value function of money Depends on uncertainty of future Depends upon: level of income business activity opportunities for unexpected profitable deals availability of cash cost of holding liquid assets Speculative motive/demand A liquid store of value which can be invested at an opportune moment in interest bearing bonds and securities Objective is for speculative purposes with a view to earn income Uncertainty of future rate of interest causes demand for money for the speculative motive A decreasing function of rate of interest higher the rate, lower the demand for money and lower the interest, higher the demand for money Is highly volatile depending upon the behaviour of interest rates Total demand for money According to Keynes, Transaction motive and precautionary motive is primarily a function of level of income, while the speculative demand is the function of rate of interest Thus total demand for money is a function of both income and interest rates.
