All non-interest factors that affect the demand for loanable funds will cause a shift of the entire curve as opposed to movement along the curve. 4) The supply curve is upward sloping, reflecting the fact that the higher interest rate the greater amounts of loanable funds.5) The equilibrium level of the interest rate is determined where the quantity of loanable funds demanded is just equal to the quantity of funds supplied总结：（1）Financial intermediaries may have an important role to play in the determination of interest rates. （2）Fed actions that expand the ability of banks to make loans should increase the supply of loanable funds and result in lower interest rates and a greater quantity of credit extended in the economy.（3）Conversely, Fed actions that reduce the ability of banks to make loans should decrease the supply of loanable funds and lead to higher interest rates and lower borrowing levels in the economy第二个模型：The liquidity preference theory of interest rate11、 （1）The liquidity preference theory explains interest rates by the preference of individuals to hold money balances as opposed to spending or investing them. In this model, the interest rate is determined in the money not by credit markets.(2) Holding money balances can be an expensive opportunity cost. (if people hold securities will receive a rate of return). The opportunity cost increases as interest rates increase. The quantity of money demanded is therefore inversely related to the rate of interest. (3)The demand for money balance is presented by D1, money demand
