By using total derivative prove that percentage change in money supply
will be equal with the percentage change in price level (MV=PY)!
Money supply may be related to the aggregate economy by using the equation of exchange:
MV = PY
Taking logarithm on both sides, we get,
Applying total derivative, we get,
In the long run it is assumed that velocity of money is constant, so that (dV/V) = 0.
Also, in the long run, output is at the full employment level, YF. Hence, (dY/Y) = 0.
Hence, we obtain:
that is, percentage change in money supply will be equal with the percentage change in price level.
