Real Interest Rate, r:Rate of return on assets, measured in terms of goods.

Impact of expansionary monetary policy on interest rates:Short Run: i↓ and r↓Medium Run: i↑and r√
Neutrality of Money:In the medium run, money supply cannot affect the real exchange rate, but
increases the nominal interest rate by the increase in growth rate of money.
Fisher effect in medium run: rn= i–gm
