C H A P T E R 10: The Money Supply and the Federal Reserve System © 2004 Prentice Hall Business PublishingPrinciples of Economics, 7/eKarl Case, Ray Fair 2 of 42 An Overview of Money Money is anything that is generally accepted as a medium of exchange. Money is not income, and money is not wealth. Money is: a means of payment, a store of value, and a unit of account.

C H A P T E R 10: The Money Supply and the Federal Reserve System © 2004 Prentice Hall Business PublishingPrinciples of Economics, 7/eKarl Case, Ray Fair 3 of 42 What is Money? Barter is the direct exchange of goods and services for other goods and services. A barter system requires a double coincidence of wants for trade to take place. Money eliminates this problem. As a medium of exchange, or means of payment, money is generally accepted by buyers and sellers as means of payment for goods and services.

C H A P T E R 10: The Money Supply and the Federal Reserve System © 2004 Prentice Hall Business PublishingPrinciples of Economics, 7/eKarl Case, Ray Fair 4 of 42 What is Money? As a store of value, money serves as an asset that can be used to transport purchasing power from one time period to another.

C H A P T E R 10: The Money Supply and the Federal Reserve System © 2004 Prentice Hall Business PublishingPrinciples of Economics, 7/eKarl Case, Ray Fair 5 of 42 What is Money? As a unit of account, money is a standard that provides a consistent way of quoting prices.

C H A P T E R 10: The Money Supply and the Federal Reserve System © 2004 Prentice Hall Business PublishingPrinciples of Economics, 7/eKarl Case, Ray Fair 6 of 42 What is Money? Money is easily portable, and easily exchanged for goods at all times. The liquidity property of money makes money a good medium of exchange as well as a store of value.

C H A P T E R 10: The Money Supply and the Federal Reserve System © 2004 Prentice Hall Business PublishingPrinciples of Economics, 7/eKarl Case, Ray Fair 7 of 42 Commodity and Fiat Monies Gold Standard: Govt. issues paper currency backed by gold. Commodity monies are items used as money that also have intrinsic value in some other use. Gold is one form of commodity money. Fiat, or token, money is money that is intrinsically worthless.

C H A P T E R 10: The Money Supply and the Federal Reserve System © 2004 Prentice Hall Business PublishingPrinciples of Economics, 7/eKarl Case, Ray Fair 8 of 42 Fiat Money Fiat, or token money is : Pieces of paper that are essentially worthless but are accepted in exchange for goods Value of money supported by beliefs We believe others will accept the currency so we do as well

C H A P T E R 10: The Money Supply and the Federal Reserve System © 2004 Prentice Hall Business PublishingPrinciples of Economics, 7/eKarl Case, Ray Fair 9 of 42 Commodity and Fiat Monies Legal tender is money that a government has required to be accepted in settlement of debts. Currency debasement is the decrease in the value of money that occurs when its supply is increased rapidly.

C H A P T E R 10: The Money Supply and the Federal Reserve System © 2004 Prentice Hall Business PublishingPrinciples of Economics, 7/eKarl Case, Ray Fair 10 of 42 Measuring the Supply of Money in the United States M0 (monetary base) = currency, bank reserves at the Fed M1, or transactions money is money that can be directly used for transactions. M1  currency held outside banks + demand deposits + traveler’s checks + (checking) + assets widely used for transactions + other checkable deposits M1 is a stock measure—it is measured at a point in time—on a specific day.

C H A P T E R 10: The Money Supply and the Federal Reserve System © 2004 Prentice Hall Business PublishingPrinciples of Economics, 7/eKarl Case, Ray Fair 11 of 42 Measuring the Supply of Money in the United States Traveler's checks is : a cheque for a fixed amount, sold by a bank or travel agent that can be exchanged for cash in foreign countries

C H A P T E R 10: The Money Supply and the Federal Reserve System © 2004 Prentice Hall Business PublishingPrinciples of Economics, 7/eKarl Case, Ray Fair 12 of 42 Measuring the Supply of Money in the United States M2, or broad money, includes near monies, or close substitutes for transactions money. M2 = M1 + savings accounts + money market accounts + other near monies The main advantage of looking at M2 instead of M1 is that M2 is sometimes more stable.

C H A P T E R 10: The Money Supply and the Federal Reserve System © 2004 Prentice Hall Business PublishingPrinciples of Economics, 7/eKarl Case, Ray Fair 13 of 42 Measuring the Supply of Money in the United States Near monies: is Highly liquid assets which are not cash but can easily be converted into cash, such as a bank deposits and treasury bills. Similar to cash equivalents

C H A P T E R 10: The Money Supply and the Federal Reserve System © 2004 Prentice Hall Business PublishingPrinciples of Economics, 7/eKarl Case, Ray Fair 14 of 42 Measuring the Supply of Money in the United States M2 = M1 + savings deposits + small- denomination time deposits + money market accounts + additional assets that can be easily converted to assets used in transactions M3 = M2 + large denomination time deposits + other assets that are less liquid

C H A P T E R 10: The Money Supply and the Federal Reserve System © 2004 Prentice Hall Business PublishingPrinciples of Economics, 7/eKarl Case, Ray Fair 15 of 42 The Private Banking System Banks and other financial institutions borrow from individuals or firms with excess funds and lend to those who need funds. That’s why they’re called financial intermediaries. The main types of financial intermediaries are commercial banks.

C H A P T E R 10: The Money Supply and the Federal Reserve System © 2004 Prentice Hall Business PublishingPrinciples of Economics, 7/eKarl Case, Ray Fair 16 of 42 The Private Banking System Financial intermediaries are banks and other financial institutions that act as a link between those who have money to lend and those who want to borrow money.

C H A P T E R 10: The Money Supply and the Federal Reserve System © 2004 Prentice Hall Business PublishingPrinciples of Economics, 7/eKarl Case, Ray Fair 17 of 42 How Banks Create Money A Historical Perspective: Goldsmiths Goldsmiths functioned as warehouses where people stored gold for safekeeping. Upon receiving the gold, a goldsmith would issue a receipt to the depositor. After a time, these receipts themselves began to be traded for goods, and were backed 100 percent by gold.

C H A P T E R 10: The Money Supply and the Federal Reserve System © 2004 Prentice Hall Business PublishingPrinciples of Economics, 7/eKarl Case, Ray Fair 18 of 42 How Banks Create Money Then, Goldsmiths realized that they could lend out some of this gold without any fear of running out. Now there were more claims than there were ounces of gold.

C H A P T E R 10: The Money Supply and the Federal Reserve System © 2004 Prentice Hall Business PublishingPrinciples of Economics, 7/eKarl Case, Ray Fair 19 of 42 The Modern Banking System Assets are things a firm owns that are worth something. A bank’s assets are its loans, cash in hand, and reserve deposits at the Federal Reserve. Liabilities are the firm’s debts—what it owes. A bank’s liabilities are deposits owed to customers. 2.Banks are legally required to hold a certain minimum percentage of their deposit liabilities as reserves. The percentage is the required reserve ratio.

C H A P T E R 10: The Money Supply and the Federal Reserve System © 2004 Prentice Hall Business PublishingPrinciples of Economics, 7/eKarl Case, Ray Fair 20 of 42 The Modern Banking System A brief review of accounting: Assets – liabilities / Net Worth, or Assets / Liabilities + Net Worth A bank’s most important assets are its loans. Other assets include cash on hand and deposits with the Fed. A bank’s liabilities are its debts—what it owes. Deposits are debts owed to the bank’s depositors.

C H A P T E R 10: The Money Supply and the Federal Reserve System © 2004 Prentice Hall Business PublishingPrinciples of Economics, 7/eKarl Case, Ray Fair 21 of 42 The Modern Banking System The Federal Reserve System (the Fed) is the central bank of the United States.

C H A P T E R 10: The Money Supply and the Federal Reserve System © 2004 Prentice Hall Business PublishingPrinciples of Economics, 7/eKarl Case, Ray Fair 22 of 42 The Modern Banking System Reserves are the deposits that a bank has at the Federal Reserve bank plus its cash on hand. The required reserve ratio is the percentage of its total deposits that a bank must keep as reserves at the Federal Reserve.

C H A P T E R 10: The Money Supply and the Federal Reserve System © 2004 Prentice Hall Business PublishingPrinciples of Economics, 7/eKarl Case, Ray Fair 25 Required reserve ratio Required reserve ratio (RRR): percentage of deposits that is required by the central bank to keep as reserves.

C H A P T E R 10: The Money Supply and the Federal Reserve System © 2004 Prentice Hall Business PublishingPrinciples of Economics, 7/eKarl Case, Ray Fair 26 Example: if RRR=10%, of an initial deposit = KD100 Required reserves = 100 * 10% =10 ( الاحتياطى القانوني ) Excess reserves = = 90 ( الاحتياطى الفائض ) Note: If the bank was able to lend USD 60 of its excess reserves, what is the total reserve this bank has ? Total Reserve = Required reserves + Excess reserves (الاحتياطى الكلي) = ( الاحتياطى القانوني) + ( الاحتياطى الفائض)

C H A P T E R 10: The Money Supply and the Federal Reserve System © 2004 Prentice Hall Business PublishingPrinciples of Economics, 7/eKarl Case, Ray Fair 27 Money creation is based on the process of deposits & loans and the RRR. To explain this process we assume: Money Creation

C H A P T E R 10: The Money Supply and the Federal Reserve System © 2004 Prentice Hall Business PublishingPrinciples of Economics, 7/eKarl Case, Ray Fair 29 Money Multiplier (Deposit expansion multiplier): (مضاعف النقود / مضاعف الائتمان) M m = 1 RRR The multiplier: maximum possible change in total deposits out of any new deposit created by a multi-bank system. Potential money creation = initial deposit x M m

C H A P T E R 10: The Money Supply and the Federal Reserve System © 2004 Prentice Hall Business PublishingPrinciples of Economics, 7/eKarl Case, Ray Fair 30 Q: What will happen to the effect M m when : A: there is a leakage (money drain) from the banking system? B: Banks were not able to lend all their excess reserves? C: Banks fail to apply the RRR?

C H A P T E R 10: The Money Supply and the Federal Reserve System © 2004 Prentice Hall Business PublishingPrinciples of Economics, 7/eKarl Case, Ray Fair 31 Example1: IF RRR= 20%, and an initial deposit = KD 7000 was deposited at Alnoor Bank. What is the maximum Value of loans can this bank lend ? What is the maximum value of loans can the banking system create out of this deposit ? Alnoor Required Reserves Excess Reserve Deposits Since M m = 1/20% = 5 Total loans (by the banking system) = 5600 x 5 = Answer :

C H A P T E R 10: The Money Supply and the Federal Reserve System © 2004 Prentice Hall Business PublishingPrinciples of Economics, 7/eKarl Case, Ray Fair 32 of 42 The Creation of Money Banks usually make loans up to the point where they can no longer do so because of the reserve requirement restriction (or up to the point where their excess reserves are zero).

C H A P T E R 10: The Money Supply and the Federal Reserve System © 2004 Prentice Hall Business PublishingPrinciples of Economics, 7/eKarl Case, Ray Fair 33 of 42 The Creation of Money When someone deposits $100 in a bank, and the bank deposits the $100 with the central bank, the bank has $100 in total reserves.

C H A P T E R 10: The Money Supply and the Federal Reserve System © 2004 Prentice Hall Business PublishingPrinciples of Economics, 7/eKarl Case, Ray Fair 34 of 42 The Creation of Money If the required reserve ratio is 20%, the bank has excess reserves of $80. With $80 of excess reserves, the bank can have up to $400 of additional deposits. The $100 in reserves plus $400 in loans equal $500 in deposits.

C H A P T E R 10: The Money Supply and the Federal Reserve System © 2004 Prentice Hall Business PublishingPrinciples of Economics, 7/eKarl Case, Ray Fair 36 of 42 The Money Multiplier The money multiplier is the multiple by which deposits can increase for every dollar increase in reserves. In the example above, the required reserve ratio is 20%. Each dollar increase in reserves could cause an increase in deposits of $5 when there is no leakage out of the system.

The Open Market Desk is an office in the New York Federal Reserve Bank from which government securities are bought and sold by the Fed.

The largest of the Fed’s assets, by far, consists of government securities purchased over the years. A dollar bill is a liability, or IOU, of the Fed.

C H A P T E R 10: The Money Supply and the Federal Reserve System © 2004 Prentice Hall Business PublishingPrinciples of Economics, 7/eKarl Case, Ray Fair 44 of 42 How the Federal Reserve Controls the Money Supply Three tools are available to the Fed for changing the money supply: 1. changing the required reserve ratio; 2. changing the discount rate; and 3. engaging in open market operations.

C H A P T E R 10: The Money Supply and the Federal Reserve System © 2004 Prentice Hall Business PublishingPrinciples of Economics, 7/eKarl Case, Ray Fair 45 of 42 The Required Reserve Ratio The required reserve ratio establishes a link between the reserves of the commercial banks and the deposits (money) that commercial banks are allowed to create. If the Fed wants to increase the money supply, the Fed can decrease the required reserve ratio, which allows the bank to create more deposits by making loans. Since changing this ratio changes the money multiplier, a small change in the required reserve ratio will have a very large impact on the money supply

C H A P T E R 10: The Money Supply and the Federal Reserve System © 2004 Prentice Hall Business PublishingPrinciples of Economics, 7/eKarl Case, Ray Fair 46 of 42 The Required Reserve Ratio A Decrease in the Required Reserve Ratio From 20 Percent to 12.5 Percent Increases the Supply of Money (All Figures in Billions of Dollars) PANEL 1: REQUIRED RESERVE RATIO = 20% Federal ReserveCommercial Banks AssetsLiabilitiesAssetsLiabilities Government$200$100Reserves $100$500Deposits securities$100CurrencyLoans$400 Note: Money supply (M1) = Currency + Deposits = $600.

C H A P T E R 10: The Money Supply and the Federal Reserve System © 2004 Prentice Hall Business PublishingPrinciples of Economics, 7/eKarl Case, Ray Fair 47 of 42 The Discount Rate The discount rate is the interest rate that banks pay to the Fed to borrow from it. Bank borrowing from the Fed leads to an increase in the money supply. The higher the discount rate, the higher the cost of borrowing, and the less borrowing banks will want to do.

Open market operations is by far the most significant tool of the Fed for controlling the supply of money.
