Loanable Funds Theory 1. The Loanable Funds Theory suggests that the market interest rate is determined by the factors that control supply of and demand for loanable funds. 2. Can be used to explain: a. Movements in the general level of interest rates in a particular country b. Why interest rates among debt securities of a given country vary. 3

Demand for Loanable Funds 3. Government demand for loanable funds a. Governments demand loanable funds when planned expenditures are not covered by incoming revenues. b. Government demand is said to be interest inelastic: insensitive to interest rates. Expenditures and tax policies are independent of the level of interest rates. (Exhibit 2.3) 6

Demand for Loanable Funds 4. Foreign demand for loanable funds a. A country’s demand for foreign funds depends on the interest rate differential between the two. b. The greater the differential, the greater the demand for foreign funds. c. The quantity of U.S. loanable funds demanded by foreign governments will be inversely related to U.S. interest rates. (Exhibit 2.4) 5. Aggregate demand for loanable funds a. The sum of the quantities demanded by the separate sectors at any given interest rate. (Exhibit 2.5) 10

Supply of Loanable Funds 1. Households are largest supplier, but some supplied by government units. a. More supply at higher interest rates. b. Supply by buying securities. 2. Effects of the Fed - By affecting the supply of loanable funds, the Fed’s monetary policy affects interest rates. 3. Aggregate supply of funds –Is the combination of all sector supply schedules along with the supply of funds provided by the Fed’s monetary policy. (Exhibit 2.6) 13

Equilibrium Interest Rate 1. Aggregate Demand for funds (DA) DA = Dh + Db + Dg + Dm + Df Dh = household demand for loanable funds Db = business demand for loanable funds Dg = federal government demand for loanable funds Dm = municipal government demand for loanable funds Df = foreign demand for loanable funds 2. Aggregate Supply of funds (SA) SA = Sh + Sb + Sg + Sm + Sf Sh = household supply for loanable funds Sb = business supply for loanable funds Sg = federal government supply for loanable funds Sm = municipal government supply for loanable funds Sf = foreign supply for loanable funds 15

Factors That Affect Interest Rates 1. Impact of economic growth on interest rates: a. Puts upward pressure on interest rates by shifting demand for loanable funds outward. (Exhibits 2.8 & 2.9) 2. Impact of inflation on interest rates: a. Puts upward pressure on interest rates by shifting supply of funds inward and demand for funds outward. (Exhibit 2.10) b. Fisher effect: i = E(INF) + iR where i = nominal or quoted rate of interest E(INF) = expected inflation rate iR = real interest rate 17

Factors that Affect Interest Rates 3. Impact of Monetary Policy on Interest Rates When the Fed reduces (increases) the money supply, it reduces (increases) the supply of loanable funds, putting upward (downward) pressure on interest rates. 4. Impact of the Budget Deficit on Interest Rates Crowding-out Effect: Given a certain amount of loanable funds supplied to the market, excessive government demand for funds tends to “crowd out” the private demand for funds. (Exhibit 2.11) 5. Impact of Foreign Flows of Funds on Interest Rates Interest rate for a certain currency is determined by the demand for funds in that currency and the supply of funds available in that currency.

Summary of Forces that Affect Interest Rates 1. Economic conditions are the primary forces behind a change in the supply of savings provided by households or a change in the demand for funds by households, businesses, or the government. 2. The demand for funds in the United States is indirectly affected by U.S. monetary and fiscal policies because these policies influence economic growth and inflation, which in turn affect business demand for funds. Fiscal policy determines the budget deficit and therefore determines the federal government demand for funds. (Exhibit 2.13) 24

Forecasting Interest Rates 1. Net Demand (ND) should be forecast: ND = DA – SA ND = (Dh + Db + D,m + Dr) – (Sh + Sb + Sm + Sf) 2. Future Demand for Loanable Funds depends on future a. Foreign demand for U.S. funds b. Household demand for funds c. Business demand for funds d. Government demand for funds 3. Future Supply of Loanable Funds depends on: a. Future supply by households and others b. Future foreign supply of loanable funds in the U.S. 26

SUMMARY The loanable funds framework shows how the equilibrium interest rate depends on the aggregate supply of available funds and the aggregate demand for funds. As conditions cause the aggregate supply or demand schedules to change, interest rates gravitate toward a new equilibrium. Given that the equilibrium interest rate is determined by supply and demand conditions, changes in the interest rate can be forecasted by forecasting changes in the supply of and the demand for loanable funds. Thus, the factors that influence the supply of funds and the demand for funds must be forecast in order to forecast interest rates. 28

SUMMARY The relevant factors that affect interest rate movements include changes in economic growth, inflation, the budget deficit, foreign interest rates, and the money supply. These factors can have a strong impact on the aggregate supply of funds and/or the aggregate demand for funds and can thereby affect the equilibrium interest rate. In particular, economic growth has a strong influence on the demand for loanable funds, and changes in the money supply have a strong impact on the supply of loanable funds. 29
