Loanable Funds
Model

The supply of savings meets the demand for investment at an equilibrium real interest rate. When households save more, the supply curve shifts right and the rate falls; when firms want to invest more, the demand curve shifts right and the rate rises.

Compare

This model uses static comparative statics -- no genuine time axis exists.

Shock presets

Government deficit increase

A larger government deficit absorbs private saving, shifting the supply of loanable funds left and pushing the real rate up.

Global savings glut

Households or foreign savers increase thrift, shifting the savings supply right and lowering the equilibrium real rate.

Investment boom

Improved profit expectations raise investment demand at every rate, shifting the demand curve right and raising the equilibrium real rate.
