Causes of Non-Fed Variables: M2 Determination • Federal Reserve controlled variables: HNON (open market operations), rD, rT. • This chapter -- studies key causes of k, t, mmmf, e, and DL.
Key Causes of k = C/D • Interest rates (i), i k • Bank Panics, Panic k • Illegal Activity, increases the demand for cash • Financial Innovation towards transactions convenience (e.g. credit cards) (FI), FI k
Key Causes of t = T/D • Interest rates (i), i t • Market Risk (Stock) (S), S t • Uncertainty About the Economy (Y), Y t • Sweep Programs (SWEEP), SWEEP t
Key Causes of mmmf = MMMF/D • Interest rates (i), i mmmf • Market Risk (Stock) (S), S mmmf • Uncertainty About the Economy (Y), Y mmmf
Key Causes of e = ER/D • Interest rates (i), i e • Expected Deposit Outflows (DOE) DOE k • Deposit Risk, or Uncertainty About Deposit Outflows (D) D e
Recent Developments: Increasing the e-Ratio • Increased Vault Cash for Servicing ATMs. • Establishment of Clearing Balances with the Federal Reserve, receives some return from the Fed. • Future – Interest on excess reserves?
Key Causes of Discount Loans (DL) • Interest rates (i), i DL • The Discount Rate (iDISC), iDISC DL • Fed Surveillance, Surveillance DL
Synthesizing the Analysis • Event • What components of M2 determination are affected, and how? • How does this change M2 (immediately and/or through bank loaning)?
M2 Determination: A Review M2 = (1 + k + t + mmmf) (HNON + DL) (k + rD + rTt + e) The money multiplier (m2)
How the Components Affect M2: A Review HNON M2 DL M2 rD M2 rT M2 k M2 t M2 mmmf M2 e M2
Example 1 -- An Increase in Interest Rates i k M2 i t M2 i mmmf M2 i e M2 i DL M2 Is there a money supply function?
Example 2 -- 1929-33 (Major Panic/Bank Failures) Panic k M2 Could the Federal Reserve have offset the situation (Discount Window, emergency loans)? DL M2
Example 3 -- 1934-41 (Keynesian Liquidity Trap) • Federal Reserve -- practicing active monetary policy. HNON M2
1934-41 -- Bank Behavior • But, banks experience high deposit risk (D), expected deposit outflows (DOE), and very low interest rates desire to hold large amounts of excess reserves. D, DOE, i e M2 • Offsets the effect of policy.
