S = I. If and when the Credit Market is working well
What if it isn’t working well?

Y = C + S. Must be true
X = C + I. Must be true
Let us now suppose that the Credit Market does not always make S = I, that it is possible for Saving to be either greater than, or less than, Investment
Of great importance is this pair of thoughts:-- S might not equal I in the “short run.”-- S will equal I in the “long run.” How long these “runs” are is not at all clear
In the short run the difference between S and I can be made up for by people holding more or less Money (“Cash”). We will say that the demand for (holding) money has risen or fallen.

Saving can wind up in one of two ways:1.It can be loaned and Invested2.It can be held by someone (including banks)

The situation shown here looks as if people started to Save more, but Businesses were not inclined to borrow and Invest the extra Saving. The extra 5 sat as reserves in banks.
How can we interpret this picture?
The CASH Model Y = C + S. Must be true
X = C + I. Must be true
OR:Banks got scared, started to “hoard” money and Investment was reduced. Businesses that wanted loans could not get them

How to interpret this?
Businesses decided to borrow less; banks got stuck holding money they could not lend

S
Y = C + S. Must be true
X = C + I. Must be true
That is:S > I means ΔMD > 0; someone is accumulating money; the demand for money is risingS < I means ΔMD < 0; someone is reducing their money holding; the demand for money is falling
CASHCASH
ΔMD
S = I+ ΔMD . Must be true. That is: $ into CrM = $ out of CrM
Notice that all of the scenarios that involve MD changing seem unlikely to last very long. Banks cannot or will not indefinitely add to, or draw from, their reserves. Sooner or later Savings must equal Investment.
S ≠ I in the Short Run, when ΔMD ≠ 0
S = I in the Long Run, when ΔMD = 0
S < I means ΔMD < 0; someone is reducing their money holding; the demand for money is falling
Final – CRUCIAL -- Point
Whenever S and I are unequal, X and Y will be unequal.We will interpret this as the economy grew or shrunk.We have here what the first “Model 0” could not describe – the demand-driven rise and fall of GDP.

In this case, there was a rise of Demand (x). Total Spending rose

A SUMMARY
If MD does NOT change: X does not change; C and I off-set each other
If MD DOES change: X will change; C and I do not off-set each other
IF … THEN AND X …

I rises S rises, C falls
I falls S falls, C rises
IF … And MD changes THEN … AND X …C rises/S falls MD falls I does not change rises

I rises MD falls C and S do not change rises
I falls MD rises C and S do not change falls
