Lecture 27: Money multiplier Mishkin Ch14 – part A page 351-359
Review • A simple model of multiple deposit creation. • The bank creates deposits by lending. • Initial $100 increase in reserves will result in $1000 in deposit. The increase is tenfold, the reciprocal of reserve ratio 10%.
Introduction • Fed’s control over checkable deposits is affected by two factors: holdings of currency; holdings of excess reserves. • a more advanced model: the money supply model • monetary base money multiplier money supply
The money supply model • Define money as currency plus checkable deposits: M = C + D • M1 definition of money • The Fed can control the monetary base better than it can control reserves • Link the money supply (M) to the monetary base (MB) and let m be the money multiplier
Deriving the money multiplier III • An increase in the monetary base that goes into currency is NOT multiplied, whereas an increase that goes into supporting deposits is multiplied. • Also, an additional dollar of monetary base that goes into excess reserve does not support any additional deposits or currency.
Example • If the required reserve ratio is 10 percent, currency in circulation is $400 billion, checkable deposits are $800 billion, and excess reserves total $0.8 billion, • What’s the money supply, monetary base and money multiplier? • c = C/D = 400/800 = 0.5; e = E/D = 0.8/800 = 0.001; r = 0.1; • m =(1+c)/(r+e+c) = 1.5/0.601 = 2.49584 • M = C + D = 400+800 = $1200 billion • Can check: M = m * MB = m * (C+R) = 2.49584*(400+0.8+0.1*800) = $1200 billion
Factors that determine the money multiplier • Required reserve ratio r: • the money multiplier and the money supply are negatively related to r • Currency ratio c: • the money multiplier and the money supply are negatively related to c. • Excess reserves ratio e: • the money multiplier and the money supply are negatively related to the excess reserves ratio e.
Factors that determine the money multiplier – cont’d • The excess reserves ratio e is negatively related to the market interest rate • Opportunity cost of holding excess reserves • Relative expected return on excess reserves relative to loans and securities • The excess reserves ratio e is positively related to expected deposit outflows • Excess reserves provide insurance against losses due to deposit outflows.
Recap • Money multiplier • Currency and excessive reserves are NOT multiplied. • changes in c, e, r are negatively related to changes in m. • e is negatively related to market interest rate but positively related to expected deposit outflow.
