When stock prices rise, it is said to be due to a confluence of extraordinarily high levels of liquidity on household and business balance sheets, combined with a simultaneous normalization of liquidity preferences.

As such, while saved money impacts the rate of interest, new money that is instead used for consumption does not; Cantillon's theory of interest is therefore similar to John Maynard Keynes's liquidity preference theory.
23.
The LM function is the set of equilibrium points between the liquidity preference ( or demand for money ) function and the money supply function ( as determined by banks and central banks ).
24.
The asset demand for money is created by people with a liquidity preference and is negatively affected by the nominal rate of interest, which is the opportunity cost of holding money for this or any other reason.
25.
Regarded widely as the cornerstone of Keynesian thought, the book challenged the established classical economics and introduced important concepts such as the consumption function, the multiplier, the marginal efficiency of capital, the principle of effective demand and liquidity preference.
26.
On top of the supply of money, Keynes identified the propensity to consume, inducement to invest, marginal efficiency of capital, liquidity preference, and multiplier effect as variables which determine the level of the economy's output, employment, and price levels.
27.
Criticism emanates also from Post-Keynesian economists, such as University of Besan�on, who " reject [ s ] the keynesian liquidity preference theory . . . but only because it lacks sensible empirical foundations in a true monetary economy ."
28.
The former provide a general equilibrium model to explain a small liquidity preference shock in one region can spread by contagion throughout the economy and the possibility of contagion depends strongly on the completeness of the structure of interregional claims.

John Hicks ( 1904 1989 ) of England was a Keynesian who in 1937 proposed the Investment Saving Liquidity Preference Money Supply Model, which treats the intersection of the IS and LM curves as the general equilibrium in both markets.
30.
For a given level of income, the intersection point between the liquidity preference and money supply functions implies a single point on the LM curve : specifically, the point giving the level of the interest rate which equilibrate the money market at the given level of income.
