An increase in the rate of money growth leads to an increase in the rate of inflation. Inflation, in turn, causes the nominal interest rate to rise, which means that the opportunity
cost of holding money increases. As a result, real money balances fall. Since money is part of wealth, real wealth also falls. A fall in wealth reduces consumption,and, therefore, increases saving. The increase in saving leads to an outward shift of the saving schedule, This leads to a lower real interest rate.
The classical dichotomy states that a change in a nominal variable such as inflation does not affect real variables. In this case, the classical dichotomy does not hold;the increase in the rate of inflation leads to a decrease in the real interest rate. The Fisher effect states that i = r + π. In this case, since the real interest rate r falls, a 1-percent increase in inflation increases the nominal interest rate i by less than 1 percent.
Most economists believe that this Mundell–Tobin effect is not important because real money balances are a small fraction of wealth.
货币增长导致通货膨胀,通胀的增长导致名义利率的增长,这时,“拥有货币”的成本就大了,由于货币是社会财富的一部分,这样全社会财富就会减少,于是消费减少,储蓄增加,使得储蓄单发生了表面变化,但实际利率下降了
古典理论认为,像通货膨胀这样的名义变量的变化不会影响实际变量,其实古典理论没有注意到通货膨胀的增长会导致实际利率的下降——i = r + π,所以根据这个费雪定律,通胀π增长1,名义利率i增长小于1
因此大多数经济学家认为,当实际货币平衡不是占社会财富的大部分时,托宾定律是无效的
