Money supply influences inflation
Empirical measures like M1, M2, and M3 help central banks track and manage the money supply. M1 includes physical cash and demand deposits, while M2 encompasses M1 plus savings deposits and other easily accessible assets. These measures provide insights into the money supply's impact on inflation and guide central banks in their monetary policy decisions.
Understanding monetarism's approach to controlling money supply is essential for grasping how central banks manage inflation and economic stability.
