Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the quantity theory of money, the equation of exchange is MV = PY, where M is the quantity of money, V is the velocity of money, P is the price level, and Y is real output. The theory holds that V and Y are constant in the short run, so changes in M will lead to changes in P.
