Study Notes

Theoretical Model of Bond Market

The theoretical model used to explain the nominal rate of interest in the bond market is the Loanable Funds Theory.

Simplifying Assumption

The simplifying assumption made in the theoretical model of bond demand and supply is that all bonds are identical and have the same risk.

Factors Influencing Demand Curve

The demand curve for bonds in the bond market is influenced by:
- Changes in the expected rate of return
- Changes in wealth
- Changes in the state of the economy (recession or expansion)

Factors Influencing Supply Curve

The supply curve of bonds in the bond market is influenced by:
- Changes in the expected rate of return
- Changes in the cost of borrowing
- Changes in the state of the economy (recession or expansion)

Effect of Expected Inflation

When there is an increase in expected inflation in the bond market, the demand for bonds decreases, and the supply of bonds increases, resulting in an increase in the nominal interest rate.
