The Keynes effect is a term used in economics to describe a situation where a change in interest rates affects expenditure more than it affects savings. As prices fall, a given nominal amount of money will become a larger real amount. As a result the interest rate will fall and investment demanded rise. This Keynes effect does not occur in the liquidity trap.
