Question:
State True or False and justify your answer:
A given increase in the money supply is more effective at shifting the aggregate demand curve the more interest rate responsive (elastic) is the money demand curve.
Money Supply:
Money supply relates to the total money that is circulating within the economy. The change in the money supply in the economy affects the economy; thus, the government has to develop policies for regulating the amount of money within the marketplace. Excess money supply can lower the nation's currency, and a limited money supply causes economic strain.
