*Back to Open Market Operations (Monetary Policy) Another way the Fed can add or subtract money in the economy The Fed itself can either buy or sell government bonds (securities) The Fed itself can either buy or sell government bonds (securities) Ex. #1—the Fed BUYS a bond from ‘you’—you deposit the money=more $ in economy Ex. #1—the Fed BUYS a bond from ‘you’—you deposit the money=more $ in economy EX. #2—the Fed SELLS a bond to ‘you’—you withdraw $ from bank=less $ in economy EX. #2—the Fed SELLS a bond to ‘you’—you withdraw $ from bank=less $ in economy

bond $$ $$$ bond FED Bank $ $$

Manipulating Interest Rates (Monetary Policy, too) Banks sometimes need more cash than they have in reserve thus they can borrow $ just like ‘you’ Banks sometimes need more cash than they have in reserve thus they can borrow $ just like ‘you’ The Fed loans $ to banks The Fed loans $ to banks Banks must pay an interest rate on the borrowed money (just like ‘you’) Banks must pay an interest rate on the borrowed money (just like ‘you’) Called the Discount Rate Called the Discount Rate By raising or lowering the % the Fed can influence the amt $ in economy By raising or lowering the % the Fed can influence the amt $ in economy

Discount Rate Raising the rate signals ‘tight money’—attempt to reduce amt of money in economy Lowering the rate signals ‘easy- money’—attempt to add amt of money to economy 3% 5% 6% 7% 8% 9% 10%

FED 3% FED 5% Bank 5% Bank 7% $ Too expensive

Summary Adding Money in the economy fights recession Subtracting money from economy fights inflation Purpose: to prevent business cycle from being too ‘bumpy’ (boat on waves analogy)
