Extract

The velocity of money (V) indicates the number of times money stock turns over in the economy to accommodate a given level of transactions (proxied by GNP). In other words, velocity measures the relationship between nominal income and the money stock. In the original version of the quantity theory of money, nominal income is equal to velocity times money stock; i.e. Py = MV where P stands for the price level, y is real income, M is the money stock. In this framework, when velocity is assumed to be constant, changes in money stock can create predictable effects on the nominal income.
