Equality between those demands and supply gives a *dynamic* model in which money supply

and price level *sequences* are simultaneously determined by a set of simultaneous linear equations.

* a peculiar comparative stationary-state outcome connected with that stationary inflation rate: it asserts that inflation can be *reduced* by running *higher* government deficits, i.e., by raising more resources by printing money.
