Money Demand
Money demand is the amount of wealth people choose to hold as money rather than in interest-bearing assets.
It slopes downward against the nominal interest rate, which is the opportunity cost of holding money. People hold money for transactions and as a precaution. Money demand shifts with the price level and real GDP.
