2.7 What important factors might cause the supply curve for loanable funds to increase (shift to the right)? Identify the effect that such a shift in the supply curve for loanable funds would have on the equilibrium level of the interest rate? Identify important factors that might cause the demand curve to increase (shift to the right)? What effect would such a shift in demand for loanable funds have on the equilibrium interest rate? What would happen to the equilibrium level of the interest rate if both curves shifted to the right?
