A. An increase in real GDP will shift the real money demand curve to the right.
B. On balance, financial innovation has decreased the demand for money.
C. An increase in the real money supply from an initial equilibrium situation will cause house-holds and businesses to sell interest-bearing securities.
参考答案:C

From an initial equilibrium, an increase in real money balances will leave households and businesses with more money than they wish to hold, so they will purchase interest-bearing securities, driving their prices up and yields down until a new equilibrium short-term rate is established.
