For most students, the hardest concepts to grasp in this chapter are the most theoretical ones: the classical dichotomy and monetary neutrality. Most of the other material in the chapter is fairly straightforward.

In the last section of the chapter, “The Costs of Inflation,” the Shoeleather cost is not difficult for students to understand, but it’s difficult for them to relate to, due to the ready availability of ATMs and Internet access to bank accounts. Most students have a harder time learning about the arbitrary redistributions of wealth that arise when inflation is different from expected.

This chapter is longer than average. To get through it more quickly, you might consider skipping or moving fairly quickly through some of the easier concepts, telling students to learn them from the textbook. Such concepts might include:

some of the costs of inflation (menu costs, confusion and inconvenience)

the inflation tax

hyperinflation

0

In this chapter, look for the answers to these questions:

How does the money supply affect inflation and nominal interest rates?

Does the money supply affect real variables like real GDP or the real interest rate?

How is inflation like a tax?

What are the costs of inflation? How serious are they?

Introduction

This chapter introduces the quantity theory of money to explain one of the Ten Principles of Economics from Chapter 1:

Prices rise when the govt prints too much money.

Most economists believe the quantity theory is a good explanation of the long run behavior of inflation.

The Value of Money

P = the price level (e.g., the CPI or GDP deflator)

P is the price of a basket of goods, measured in money.

1/P is the value of $1, measured in goods.

Example: basket contains one candy bar.

If P = $2, value of $1 is 1/2 candy bar

If P = $3, value of $1 is 1/3 candy bar

Inflation drives up prices and drives down the value of money.

The Quantity Theory of Money

Developed by 18th century philosopher David Hume and the classical economists

Advocated more recently by Nobel Prize Laureate Milton Friedman

Asserts that the quantity of money determines the value of money

We study this theory using two approaches:

Money Supply (MS)

In real world, determined by Federal Reserve, the banking system, consumers.

In this model, we assume the Fed precisely controls MS and sets it at some fixed amount.

Money Demand (MD)

Refers to how much wealth people want to hold in liquid form.

Depends on P: An increase in P reduces the value of money, so more money is required to buy g&s.

Thus, quantity of money demanded is negatively related to the value of money and positively related to P, other things equal.

(These “other things” include real income, interest rates, availability of ATMs.)

Some students may think that money demand is negatively related to P, reasoning that an increase in P reduces the demand for goods and services, so less money is required to buy goods and services. However, the relationship between P and money demand holds real income constant. Thus, “other things equal” means that an increase in P does NOT reduce real income, and therefore does not reduce the demand for goods and services.

Here’s a handy way to explain it:

Real income determines the quantity of g&s people demand.

P determines how many dollars will be needed to buy this quantity of g&s.

A Brief Look at the Adjustment Process

How does this work? Short version:

At the initial P, an increase in MS causes excess supply of money.

People get rid of their excess money by spending it on g&s or by loaning it to others, who spend it. Result: increased demand for goods.

But supply of goods does not increase, so prices must rise.

(Other things happen in the short run, which we will study in later chapters.)

Result from graph: Increasing MS causes P to rise.

Real vs. Nominal Variables

Nominal variables are measured in monetary units.

Examples: nominal GDP, nominal interest rate (rate of return measured in $) nominal wage ($ per hour worked)

Real variables are measured in physical units.

Examples: real GDP, real interest rate (measured in output) real wage (measured in output)

Students seem to readily understand that the real wage is the purchasing power of the wage, or that the real wage is corrected for inflation. From either of these interpretations of the real wage, it is just a small step to understand that the real wage is measured in units of output.

What does “the purchasing power of the wage” mean? If students think about it, they will grasp that it means the quantity of output workers can buy with their wage. Hence, the real wage is measured in units of output.

What does “corrected for inflation” mean? A simple example helps. Suppose the nominal wage rises 20% and the price level also rises 20%. Students will immediately understand that the wage—corrected for inflation—is unchanged. Which is to say, it can buy the same quantity of output as before.

The next slide discusses relative prices, demonstrating that they, too, are measured in physical units, which makes them real variables. The following slide returns to the real wage, showing that it is a relative price, and demonstrating that it is measured in units of output.

How is it that the real interest rate is measured in output? Suppose we measure the value of a deposit in terms of how much output the deposit can buy (i.e., the purchasing power of the deposit). Then, think of the real interest rate as the rate at which the purchasing power of the deposit grows. Thinking in these terms, students should begin to grasp that the real interest rate is the amount of output earned on the deposit (as a % of the deposit).

Real vs. Nominal Variables

Prices are normally measured in terms of money.

Price of a compact disc: $15/cd

Price of a pepperoni pizza: $10/pizza

A relative price is the price of one good relative to (divided by) another:

Relative price of CDs in terms of pizza:

price of cd

price of pizza

$15/cd

$10/pizza

=

Relative prices are measured in physical units, so they are real variables.

= 1.5 pizzas per cd

Real vs. Nominal Wage

An important relative price is the real wage:

W = nominal wage = price of labor, e.g., $15/hour

P = price level = price of g&s, e.g., $5/unit of output

Real wage is the price of labor relative to the price of output:

The Classical Dichotomy

Classical dichotomy: the theoretical separation of nominal and real variables

Hume and the classical economists suggested that monetary developments affect nominal variables but not real variables.

If central bank doubles the money supply, Hume & classical thinkers contend

all nominal variables—including prices— will double.

all real variables—including relative prices— will remain unchanged.

The Neutrality of Money

Monetary neutrality: the proposition that changes in the money supply do not affect real variables

Doubling money supply causes all nominal prices to double; what happens to relative prices?

Initially, relative price of cd in terms of pizza is

price of cd

price of pizza

= 1.5 pizzas per cd

$15/cd

$10/pizza

=

After nominal prices double,

price of cd

price of pizza

= 1.5 pizzas per cd

$30/cd

$20/pizza

=

The relative price is unchanged.

This result is important because relative prices, not nominal prices, determine the economy’s allocation of resources.

The Neutrality of Money

Similarly, the real wage W/P remains unchanged, so

quantity of labor supplied does not change

quantity of labor demanded does not change

total employment of labor does not change

The same applies to employment of capital and other resources.

Since employment of all resources is unchanged, total output is also unchanged by the money supply.

The material on this slide does not appear explicitly in this chapter, but it helps explain how money can be neutral.

The Neutrality of Money

Most economists believe the classical dichotomy and neutrality of money describe the economy in the long run.

In later chapters, we will see that monetary changes can have important short-run effects on real variables.

The textbook’s definition of velocity appears on this slide. You may prefer a more precise definition: The number of transactions in which the average dollar is used.

The following slide provides a simple example to clarify the meaning of velocity.

The Velocity of Money

Example with one good: pizza. In 2012,

Y = real GDP = 3000 pizzas

P = price level = price of pizza = $10

P x Y = nominal GDP = value of pizzas = $30,000

M = money supply = $10,000

V = velocity = $30,000/$10,000 = 3

The average dollar was used in 3 transactions.

Velocity formula:

V =

P x Y

If $10,000 worth of money purchases $30,000 worth of pizza, it must be true that the average dollar is used three times.

One good: corn.

The economy has enough labor, capital, and land to produce Y = 800 bushels of corn.

V is constant.

In 2008, MS = $2000, P = $5/bushel.

Compute nominal GDP and velocity in 2008.

Given: Y = 800, V is constant, MS = $2000 and P = $5 in 2005.

Compute nominal GDP and velocity in 2008.

Note: Each variable has been scaled to equal 100 to make variables comparable.

This graph replicates Figure 3 in the textbook. Its purpose is to demonstrate that velocity is fairly stable over time. This observation justifies the assumption of constant velocity in the quantity theory of money.

The Quantity Theory in 5 Steps

1. V is stable.

2. So, a change in M causes nominal GDP (P x Y) to change by the same percentage.

3. A change in M does not affect Y: money is neutral, Y is determined by technology & resources

4. So, P changes by same percentage as P x Y and M.

5. Rapid money supply growth causes rapid inflation.

Start with quantity equation: M x V = P x Y

Given: Y = 800, V is constant, MS = $2000 and P = $5 in 2008.

For 2009, the Fed increases MS by 5%, to $2100.

a. Compute the 2009 values of nominal GDP and P. Compute the inflation rate for 2008–2009.

Nominal GDP = P x Y

= M x V (Quantity Eq’n)

P =

P x Y

Y

=

$4200

800

= $5.25

= $2100 x 2 = $4200

Inflation rate =

$5.25 – 5.00

5.00

= 5% (same as MS!)

Given: Y = 800, V is constant, MS = $2000 and P = $5 in 2005.

For 2009, the Fed increases MS by 5%, to $2100.

b. Suppose tech. progress causes Y to increase 3% in 2009, to 824. Compute 2008–2009 inflation rate.

First, use Quantity Eq’n to compute P in 2009:

P =

M x V

Y

=

$4200

824

= $5.10

Inflation rate =

$5.10 – 5.00

5.00

= 2%

ACTIVE LEARNING 2 Summary and Lessons about the Quantity Theory of Money

If real GDP is constant, then inflation rate = money growth rate.

If real GDP is growing, then inflation rate < money growth rate.

The bottom line:

Economic growth increases # of transactions.

Some money growth is needed for these extra transactions.

Excessive money growth causes inflation.

Hyperinflation

Hyperinflation is generally defined as inflation exceeding 50% per month.

Recall one of the Ten Principles from Chapter 1: Prices rise when the government prints too much money.

Excessive growth in the money supply always causes hyperinflation.

The Inflation Tax

When tax revenue is inadequate and ability to borrow is limited, govt may print money to pay for its spending.

Almost all hyperinflations start this way.

The revenue from printing money is the inflation tax: printing money causes inflation, which is like a tax on everyone who holds money.

In the U.S., the inflation tax today accounts for less than 3% of total revenue.

The Fisher Effect

Rearrange the definition of the real interest rate:

The real interest rate is determined by saving & investment in the loanable funds market.

Money supply growth determines inflation rate.

So, this equation shows how the nominal interest rate is determined.

The Fisher Effect

In the long run, money is neutral, so a change in the money growth rate affects the inflation rate but not the real interest rate.

So, the nominal interest rate adjusts one-for-one with changes in the inflation rate.

This relationship is called the Fisher effect after Irving Fisher, who studied it.

The nominal interest rate is the 3-month Treasury Bill rate. The inflation rate is calculated as the percent change in the CPI from 12 months earlier.

Mostly, these two variables move very closely together: increases in inflation correspond to similar increases in the nominal interest rate.

When the two variables are not moving precisely together, the real interest rate is changing. This would occur if, for example, there were changes in the supply and/or demand for loanable funds. Starting in the early 1980s, the emergence of huge budget deficits caused the supply of loanable funds to fall, which increased the real interest rate. On this graph, the gap between the nominal interest rate and inflation rate clearly grows in the early 1980s.

The Fisher Effect & the Inflation Tax

The inflation tax applies to people’s holdings of money, not their holdings of wealth.

The Fisher effect: an increase in inflation causes an equal increase in the nominal interest rate, so the real interest rate (on wealth) is unchanged.

The Costs of Inflation

The inflation fallacy: most people think inflation erodes real incomes.

But inflation is a general increase in prices of the things people buy and the things they sell (e.g., their labor).

In the long run, real incomes are determined by real variables, not the inflation rate.

This graph is not in the textbook, but it helps expose the inflation fallacy.

Both series are normalized to equal 100 in 1965. The graph shows that the cost of living has risen dramatically since 1965—but the nominal wage has kept up with inflation. If the inflation fallacy were true, the nominal wage would have risen at a slower rate than the CPI.

Source: The nominal wage is average hourly earnings, total for private sector, seasonally adjusted, from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor. The CPI in this graph is seasonally adjusted, also from the BLS.

The Costs of Inflation

Shoeleather costs: the resources wasted when inflation encourages people to reduce their money holdings

Includes the time and transactions costs of more frequent bank withdrawals

Menu costs: the costs of changing prices

Printing new menus, mailing new catalogs, etc.

The Costs of Inflation

Misallocation of resources from relative-price variability: Firms don’t all raise prices at the same time, so relative prices can vary…

which distorts the allocation of resources.

Confusion & inconvenience: Inflation changes the yardstick we use to measure transactions.

Complicates long-range planning and the comparison of dollar amounts over time.

The Costs of Inflation

Tax distortions:

Inflation makes nominal income grow faster than real income.

Taxes are based on nominal income, and some are not adjusted for inflation.

So, inflation causes people to pay more taxes even when their real incomes don’t increase.

You deposit $1000 in the bank for one year.

CASE 1: inflation = 0%, nom. interest rate = 10%

CASE 2: inflation = 10%, nom. interest rate = 20%

a. In which case does the real value of your deposit grow the most?

Assume the tax rate is 25%.

b. In which case do you pay the most taxes?

c. Compute the after-tax nominal interest rate, then subtract inflation to get the after-tax real interest rate for both cases.

Most principles-level students have difficulty the first time they are asked to calculate the after-tax real interest rate because the calculation involves several intermediate steps. The intermediate steps are, at first, not obvious to most students. This exercise walks students through these steps.

The exercise leads students to see for themselves that inflation reduces the after-tax real interest rate.

Suggestion: Display this slide, and give students 3-4 minutes to work the problem on their own.

a. In which case does the real value of your deposit grow the most?

In both cases, the real interest rate is 10%, so the real value of the deposit grows 10% (before taxes).

Deposit = $1000.

CASE 1: inflation = 0%, nom. interest rate = 10%

CASE 2: inflation = 10%, nom. interest rate = 20%

b. In which case do you pay the most taxes?

CASE 1: interest income = $100, so you pay $25 in taxes.

CASE 2: interest income = $200, so you pay $50 in taxes.

Deposit = $1000. Tax rate = 25%.

CASE 1: inflation = 0%, nom. interest rate = 10%

CASE 2: inflation = 10%, nom. interest rate = 20%

CASE 1: nominal = 0.75 x 10% = 7.5%

real = 7.5% – 0% = 7.5%

CASE 2: nominal = 0.75 x 20% = 15%

real = 15% – 10% = 5%

Deposit = $1000. Tax rate = 25%.

CASE 1: inflation = 0%, nom. interest rate = 10%

CASE 2: inflation = 10%, nom. interest rate = 20%

Inflation…

raises nominal interest rates (Fisher effect) but not real interest rates

increases savers’ tax burdens

lowers the after-tax real interest rate

Deposit = $1000. Tax rate = 25%.

CASE 1: inflation = 0%, nom. interest rate = 10%

CASE 2: inflation = 10%, nom. interest rate = 20%

By lowering the after-tax interest rate, inflation reduces the incentive to save. Recall that saving is critically important for future productivity and living standards.

A Special Cost of Unexpected Inflation

Arbitrary redistributions of wealth Higher-than-expected inflation transfers purchasing power from creditors to debtors: Debtors get to repay their debt with dollars that aren’t worth as much.

Lower-than-expected inflation transfers purchasing power from debtors to creditors.

High inflation is more variable and less predictable than low inflation.

So, these arbitrary redistributions are frequent when inflation is high.

For many students, this is one of the harder concepts of the chapter. You might consider asking students to work through Problem 10 in the “Problems and Applications” at the end of this chapter for practice with this concept.

The Costs of Inflation

All these costs are quite high for economies experiencing hyperinflation.

For economies with low inflation (< 10% per year), these costs are probably much smaller, though their exact size is open to debate.

CONCLUSION

This chapter explains one of the Ten Principles of economics: Prices rise when the govt prints too much money.

We saw that money is neutral in the long run, affecting only nominal variables.

In later chapters, we will see that money has important effects in the short run on real variables like output and employment.

SUMMARY

To explain inflation in the long run, economists use the quantity theory of money. According to this theory, the price level depends on the quantity of money, and the inflation rate depends on the money growth rate.

The classical dichotomy is the division of variables into real and nominal. The neutrality of money is the idea that changes in the money supply affect nominal variables but not real ones. Most economists believe these ideas describe the economy in the long run.

SUMMARY

The inflation tax is the loss in the real value of people’s money holdings when the government causes inflation by printing money.

The Fisher effect is the one-for-one relation between changes in the inflation rate and changes in the nominal interest rate.

The costs of inflation include menu costs, shoeleather costs, confusion and inconvenience, distortions in relative prices and the allocation of resources, tax distortions, and arbitrary redistributions of wealth.
