in a business cycle expansion with
growing wealth, the demand for bonds rises and the demand curve for
bonds shifts to the right
.
Using the same reasoning,
in a recession, when
income and wealth are falling, the demand for bonds falls, and the demand
curve shifts to the left
.
Another factor that affects wealth is the public s propensity to save. If households
save more, wealth increases and, as we have seen, the demand for bonds rises and
the demand curve for bonds shifts to the right. Conversely, if people save less,
wealth and the demand for bonds will fall and the demand curve shifts to the left.
