Chapter 7 Table 1 U.S. Monetary Aggregates (January 2002)
Note that the use of credit cards does not eliminate the use of money, as money is often used to pay off a credit card balance. Credit cards simply delay the payment of a good.
Money’s primary purpose is to serve as a medium of exchange and thereby to facilitate transactions.
What is Money?

Fed Actions
The Fed manages the economy by managing
– The interest rate---the Federal Funds (FF) Rate
– Regulate the banking system
NB: The SEC is supposed to regulate Investment Banks.

Federal Funds Rate
Federal Reserve Sets the Target Federal Funds RateThe Federal Funds Rate (FF) is the rate banks charge each other for borrowing reserves overnight

Supply of Money and Open Market Operations
Open Market Purchase: When the Fed buys T-bills, it credits the reserve account of the selling Financial Institution (Bank) by the amount of the purchase, thereby increasing the amount of money in circulation
Supply ofmoney
C.B. pays Cash or makes Deposits in the account of the financial institution at

Supply of Money
• M is the nominal supply of money
• Then M/P is the real supply of money where P is the aggregate nominal price level (CPI)
![Page 12: Money and the Federal Reserve Bank](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56814029550346895dab8a5c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Demand for Money
Why hold money?
– Liquidity
– Money is the most liquid asset and is needed for transactions
![Page 13: Money and the Federal Reserve Bank](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56814029550346895dab8a5c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
Demand for Money
• The demand for Real Money Balances:
• y is real GDP and P is the price level or CPI
• Less money is demanded when the nominal interest rate is higher.

Demand and Supply of Money
The demand for money• Falls as interest rate
increases• Falls as expected
inflation rises.
• Falls if the real interest rate rises.
• Rises as real GDP increases
The supply of money• Determined by the Fed

Why Is the Fed so Important?

Long Run Effects on the Economy
• A policy of keeping the Fed Funds Rates low may require the central bank to continuously increase the supply of money
In the long run this leads to inflation
![Page 20: Money and the Federal Reserve Bank](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56814029550346895dab8a5c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Why is high inflation bad?
• With high inflation people want to economize on holding money
• High inflation and price uncertainty makes it difficult to evaluate the profitability of projects
![Page 25: Money and the Federal Reserve Bank](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56814029550346895dab8a5c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Policy Trade-off
• In Recession: Fear of rising unemployment and falling income leads the Fed to lower the Fed Funds rate
• Cost of this Policy : Greater inflation in the long run
• In Economic Booms: Fear of Inflation, so raise interest rates
• Cost of this policy: Lower Economic Growth
![Page 26: Money and the Federal Reserve Bank](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56814029550346895dab8a5c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Reserve Requirements
• Required Reserves – Specified percentage of commercial bank deposits
(checking deposits) must be held as reserves (vault cash or deposit at the Central Bank)
• Excess Reserves– Typically, to meet withdrawals of cash, banks
hold more reserves than what’s required
![Page 28: Money and the Federal Reserve Bank](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56814029550346895dab8a5c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

The Money Multiplier
• Money available in the economy is currency held by the public, CU plus bank deposits DEP
M = CU+DEP
• The Monetary Base is currency held by the public, CU plus reserves, RES held by banks
MB= CU +RES

31
The Money Multiplier and Bank Runs
What if households decide to withdraw their deposits and hold more currency per dollar of bank deposit?---cu rises
• The bank would use the reserves to return the Deposits
• Less money would be loaned out
• Money Supply will fall
What if banks become conservative and hold more reserves per dollar of deposit?----res rises
• Less money would be loaned out
• Money Supply will fall
![Page 32: Money and the Federal Reserve Bank](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56814029550346895dab8a5c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
The Money Multiplier and Bank Runs
• In may cases, households may fear that banks don’t have adequate assets to cover their liabilities (demand deposits)
– They may want to withdraw their deposits and hold cash
• What if banks start running out of reserves
– Loans have to be liquidated at significant losses
– Sudden loan liquidation may not be enough to cover all the deposit withdrawals
– The fear of depositors that they may loose their bank deposits causes a run on the bank
• Implication-----cu rises, money supply falls, and banks fail.
![Page 33: Money and the Federal Reserve Bank](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56814029550346895dab8a5c/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

34
Great Depression
• Central Bank provides more money (liquidity) Monetary Base rises
• Money Multiplier falls due to rise in cu and res
![Page 35: Money and the Federal Reserve Bank](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56814029550346895dab8a5c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
Monetary Variables in the Great Depression
• Due to the fall in the money multiplier, despite the increase in the Monetary Base, the Money Supply falls
• This is similar to the current financial crises in the US, in which households and banks become more conservative (banks freeze their lending), so the money multiplier falls.
