In the short run, it is assumed that
the level of price is fixed and the curve of aggregate supply is flat. Hence, the
output increases in the short run when Fed increases the money supply but the
level of price remains same. In the long run, the curve of aggregate supply is
horizontal that shows level of price is flexible and so increase in money
supply will increase the prices and output eventually backs to potential output.
Since it is assumed that 𝑉 = 𝑉̅, the effect of 7% increase in
the money supply can be quantified in numerical terms. The quantity equation can
be expressed in in terms of percentage change as:
Since the level of
price is fixed in short run:
Thus,
Thus the 7% increase in
money supply in short run leads 7 percent increase in level of output.
On the other hand, in
the long run, the level of price is flexible and the economy is stable at natural
output rate. Hence.
Thus,
Thus the 7% increase in
money supply in the long run leads 7 percent increase in level of price.
