The Quantity Theory of Money is given by P Y = M V . (A) Classical economists assumed that V is virtually constant, thus reducing the equation to P Y = M V . What does this modified equation mean
Added by Jeremy S.
Step 1
The equation \( P Y = M V \) consists of: - \( P \): the price level - \( Y \): the real output (or real GDP) - \( M \): the money supply - \( V \): the velocity of money (the rate at which money circulates in the economy) Show more…

What is the basic quantity equation of money?
The equation of exchange, M × V = P × Q, relates to the quantity theory of money. In this equation, M represents the supply of money, V represents the velocity of money, P represents the price level, and Q represents real output. Which of the statements describes an implication of this equation in the long run? a) Both money supply (M) and money velocity (V) are held constant. b) Changes in the money supply (ΔM) will balance out with changes in velocity (ΔV). c) Changes in the money supply (ΔM) will balance out with changes in prices (ΔP). d) Money supply increases (ΔM) will directly increase real GDP.
