  1. "Money is whatever is generally accepted in exchange for goods and services — accepted not as an object to be consumed but as an object that represents a temporary abode of purchasing power to be used for buying still other goods and services.” — Milton Friedman (1992)

  2. What is Money? • Amedium of exchange:Used to buy and sell goods and services. • Avoids barter • 2. A store of value:Allows transfer of purchasing power from one period to another. • A measure of value:Converts worth to a monetary value. • A standard of deferred payment:Makes future payments possible.

  3. The Value of Money • Commodity Money: • has value itself, deer skins • Fiat money: • just because

  4. Criteria for being a Medium of Exchange • Acceptable: • used by most people • Standardized quality : • all looks the same • Durable: • goes through the wash • 4. Valuable • large enough and portable • 5. Divisible • allows impulse buying

  5. Two basic measurements of the money supply are M1 and M2: • The components of M1 are: • Currency • Checking Deposits(including demand deposits and interest-earning checking deposits) • Traveler's checks • M2(a broader measure of money)includes: • M1, • Savings, • Time deposits under $100,000, and, • Money mutual funds The Supply of Money

  6. Measuring the Money Supply, August 2011 = $9,545 billion = $2,108.8 billion M1 M2

  11. Financial Depository Institutions • Function: • accept and maintain deposits. • make loans.

  12. Financial Depository Institutions • Types:. • Commercial Banks. • Savings and Loans • Credit Unions • Savings Banks.

  13. Consolidated Balance Sheet of Commercial Banking InstitutionsApril 2009(billions of $) Assets Liabilities Vault cash $ 40 Checking deposits $ 600 Reserves at the Fed 672 Savings and time deposits 6,851 Loans outstanding Borrowings 7,051 2,400 U.S. government securities 1,265 Other liabilities 928 Other securities 1,412 Net worth 1,291 Other assets 1,630 Total $ 12,070 $ 12,070 The Functions of Commercial Banking Institutions • Banks provide services and pay interest to attract checking, savings, and time deposits (liabilities). • Most of these deposits are invested and loaned out, providing interest income for the bank. • Banks hold a portion of their assets as reserves (either as cash or deposits with the Fed) to meet their daily obligations toward their depositors.

  14. Balance Sheet for a Large Bank, 12/31/10 The items on a bank’s balance sheet of greatest economic importance are its reserves, loans, and deposits. . The left side of the balance sheet always equals the right side.

  15. Fractional Reserves • Banks maintain only a fraction of their assets (deposits) as reserves to meet the requirements of depositors. • an decrease in required reserves lets banks make more loans, expand the money supply

  16. Creating Money • Printing Money • Making Loans • a. Key Ingredients: • Deposits – Household savings • Required Reserves – money held at the bank or at the FRS (around 10%) • Excess Reserves – loan able funds= Deposits – Required Reserves A depository institution can make loans up to the value of its excess reserves

  17. Loan Making Main Street Bank Situation: Demand deposits = $50,000 Reserve requirement = 10 % Actual reserves at bank = $10,000 How much can they lend? Excess Reserves: Demand deposits = $50,000 Reserve requirement= 10 % Actual reserves = $10,000 - Required reserves = $5,000 = Excess reserves = $5,000

  18. Loan Making Excess Reserves ($5,000) can be loaned By making a loan, the bank has created money. The original deposits are still in Main Street Bank, but now there is an additional $5,000 out floating around.

  19. Creating Money If the Excess Reserves are loaned The borrowed money is spent and deposited at another bank. The second bank’s reserves are now up $5,000 - it must keep 10% or $500 - it can then loan out $4,500 ($5,000 – $500) This process can be repeated at each step. 10% of the money is lost at each step The more that is required to be held in reserve, the less money can be created The lower the reserve requirement, the greater the amount of money that can be created

  20. Creating Money from New Reserves New cash deposits:Actual Reserves Potential demand deposits created byextending new loans NewRequired Reserves Bank Initial deposit (bank A) $1,000.00 $200.00 $800.00 Second stage (bank B) 800.00 160.00 640.00 Third stage (bank C) 640.00 128.00 512.00 Fourth stage (bank D) 512.00 102.40 409.60 Fifth stage (bank E) 409.60 81.92 327.68 Sixth stage (bank F) 327.68 65.54 262.14 Seventh stage (bank G) 262.14 52.43 209.71 All others (other banks) 1,048.58 209.71 838.87 Total $5,000.00 $1,000.00 $4,000.00 • When banks are required to maintain 20% reserves against demand deposits, the creation of $1,000 of new reserves will potentially increase the supply of money by $5,000.

  21. The Money Multiplier From the table a deposit of $1000, with a 20% reserve requirement led to a $4000 expansion of the money supply Is there a pattern here? Yes!!! It just takes 3 easy steps

  22. The Steps 1. Find the reciprocal of the required reserve 1/20% = 1/1/5= 5 2. Multiply the initial change in the excess reserves by the money multiplier $1000 * 5 = $5000 • Subtract out the initial change • $5000 - $1000 = $4000

  23. Problem 1 • Deposit of $10,000 • ________ • ________ • ________ • Required reserve 10% • Increase in the money supply? • 10,000 c. 100,000 • 9,000 d. 90,000 • ________ • ________ • ________ How about if the reserve requirement was 20%? • 200,000 c. 100,000 • 40,000 d. 50,000

  24. Problem 2 • Deposit of $16,000 • ________ • ________ • ________ • Required reserve 25% • Increase in the money supply? • 144,000 c. 80,000 • 48,000 d. 64,000 • ________ • ________ • ________ How about if the reserve requirement was 20%? • ________ • ________ • ________ How about if the reserve requirement was 10%?

  25. The Effect of Loaning Money 1. Loan making changes the money supply 2. Increases in loans leads to increased spending which increases the money supply. 3. BUT, decreases in loan making, or even paying back a loan decreases the money supply.

  26. Reserve Requirements (Reserve Ratios) for Banks and Thrifts, 2003 Type of Deposit Current Requirement Limits Checkable Deposits $0 - $6 million 0 % 3% $6 - $42.1 million 3 3 Over 42.1 million 10 8-14 Non-checkable non-personal savings and time deposits 0 0-9
