Higher Income, Lower Interest Rates Boost Money Velocity, Fueling Economic Growth
Demand for money depends on real income, interest rates, and the price level. The velocity of money increases with real income and decreases with the interest rate. This relationship can be expressed in a formula where demand for money is influenced by real income and the interest rate. By taking logarithms of this formula, we can see that the velocity of money increases with real income and decreases with the interest rate.
