Interest Rate-Investment Relationship
The interest rate-investment relationship refers to the relationship between the interest rate and the level of investment in the economy. When interest rates are high, it becomes more expensive for businesses to borrow money to invest, which tends to reduce investment spending. Conversely, when interest rates are low, borrowing costs are lower, which encourages businesses to invest more.
Here is an example schedule illustrating the interest rate-investment relationship:
Assume that the interest rate in the economy is currently 8%.
From the above schedule, we can see that as interest rates rise from 6% to 10%, investment spending declines from $200 billion to $120 billion. This illustrates the negative relationship between interest rates and investment.
Shift in Investment Demand
Shifts in investment demand can be caused by various factors including:
