Milton Friedman called the response of lower interest rates resulting from an increase in the money supply the ______ effect.
liquidity
price level
expected-inflation
income
Of the four effects on interest rates from an increase in the money supply, the initial effect is, generally, the
income effect.
liquidity effect.

In the liquidity preference framework, a one-time increase in the money supply results in a price level effect. The maximum impact of the price level effect on interest rates occurs
at the moment the price level hits its peak (stops rising) because both the price level and expected inflation effects are at work.
immediately after the price level begins to rise, because both the price level and expected inflation effects are at work.
at the moment the expected inflation rate hits its peak.
at the moment the inflation rate hits it peak.

there is fast adjustment of expected inflation.
there is slow adjustment of expected inflation.
the liquidity effect is smaller than the expected inflation effect.
the liquidity effect is larger than the other effects.
If the liquidity effect is smaller than the other effects, and the adjustment to expected inflation is slow, then the
interest rate will fall.
interest rate will rise.
interest rate will initially fall but eventually climb above the initial level in response to an increase in money growth.
