  5. Introduction 1. What is the key problem with barter exchange? • To function effectively, barter requires a double coincidence of each party to the exchange wanting precisely what the other has to offer. A double coincidence of wants is difficult to achieve. Gottheil - Principles of Economics, 4e

  6. The Invention of Money Money • Any commonly accepted good that acts as a medium of exchange, a measure of value, and a store of value. Gottheil - Principles of Economics, 4e

  7. The Invention of Money Money must be durable, portable, divisible, homogeneous, and supplies must be stable. Gottheil - Principles of Economics, 4e

  9. The Invention of Money Which of the following is most likely to serve as money: a. Strawberries b. Cows c. Gold d. Water Gottheil - Principles of Economics, 4e

  10. The Invention of Money Which of the following is most likely to serve as money: • Strawberries are not durable, cows are not easily divisible, and most of the time the supply of water is too abundant and difficult to control. Gottheil - Principles of Economics, 4e

  11. The Invention of Money Gold makes a good type of money because: a. Gold supplies are fairly stable. b. Gold is homogeneous. c. Gold is durable. d. Gold is divisible. e. Gold is portable. Gottheil - Principles of Economics, 4e

  12. The Invention of Money Fiat money • Paper money that is not backed by or convertible into any good. Gottheil - Principles of Economics, 4e

  13. Fluffy Rabbits and Gresham’s Law Suppose more valuable silver quarters and less valuable copper-nickel quarters freely circulate together in the economy.

Gottheil - Principles of Economics, 4e

  14. Fluffy Rabbits and Gresham’s Law Suppose more valuable silver quarters and less valuable copper-nickel quarters freely circulate together in the economy. What would happen over time? • Sir Thomas Gresham, a 16th century merchant to the English crown, observed that bad money drives out good. Gottheil - Principles of Economics, 4e

  15. Money in a Modern Economy Currency • Coins and paper money. Gottheil - Principles of Economics, 4e

  16. Money in a Modern Economy Liquidity • The degree to which an asset can easily be exchanged for money. Gottheil - Principles of Economics, 4e

  17. Money in a Modern Economy Liquidity is what distinguishes money from any other asset form. • Some assets are relatively liquid, and can serve as money. • Most assets are highly illiquid and thus far removed from serving as money. Gottheil - Principles of Economics, 4e

  18. Money in a Modern Economy Money supply • Typically, M1 money. The supply of currency, demand deposits, and traveler’s checks used in transactions. Gottheil - Principles of Economics, 4e

  20. Money in a Modern Economy M2 Money supply • M1 money plus less-immediate forms of money, such as savings accounts, money market mutual fund accounts, money market deposit accounts, repurchase agreements, and small-denomination time deposits. Gottheil - Principles of Economics, 4e

  21. Money in a Modern Economy M3 Money supply • M2 money plus large-denomination time deposits and large-denomination repurchase agreements. Gottheil - Principles of Economics, 4e

  22. Explaining the Impressive Growth of M2 Money What caused the impressive growth of M2 money? • Deregulation of the banking industry led to a large increase in money market accounts (mutual funds and deposit accounts), and increased the liquidity of savings accounts. Gottheil - Principles of Economics, 4e

  23. Money in a Modern Economy The dividing line between money and nonmoney assets is blurry. Most any asset is potential money. Gottheil - Principles of Economics, 4e

  24. Money in a Modern Economy Are credit cards a form of money? • No. They may be accepted as readily as money by stores, but credit cards are loans that must be repaid. Gottheil - Principles of Economics, 4e

  26. Exhibit 1: U.S. Money Supply: 2003 ($ billions) 1. True or false: The largest component of M1 is demand deposits. • False. In 2003 currency was over $646 billion of the $1,272.2 billion supply of M1 money. Gottheil - Principles of Economics, 4e

  27. Exhibit 1: U.S. Money Supply: 2003 ($ billions) 2. True or false: The largest component of M2 is M1. • False. In 2003 M1 was $1,272.2 billion, but savings deposits and money market accounts made up $2,227.3 of the $6,046.4 billion supply of M2 money. Gottheil - Principles of Economics, 4e

  28. Exhibit 1: U.S. Money Supply: 2003 ($ billions) 3. True or false: The largest component of M3 is made up of Eurodollars. • False. In 2003 the largest component of M3 was M2. Eurodollars were only a minor part of M3. Gottheil - Principles of Economics, 4e

  29. EXHIBIT 2 GROWTH OF THE MONEY SUPPLY:1970–2003

  30. Exhibit 2: Growth of the Money Supply: 1970-2003 1. True or false: M1 grew more slowly than M2 and M3 between 1970 and 2003. • True. Deregulation of the banking industry increased elements of M2, which in turn increased M3. Gottheil - Principles of Economics, 4e

  31. Exhibit 2: Growth of the Money Supply: 1970-2003 1. True or false: By 1992, M2 became larger than M3. • False. That cannot occur because M3 includes M2 plus other types of money. Gottheil - Principles of Economics, 4e
