  1. Chapter 15 Tools and Conduct of Monetary Policy

  2. The Market for Reserves and the Fed Funds Rate Demand Curve for Reserves 1. R = RR + ER 2. iopportunity cost of ER, ER 3. Demand curve slopes down Supply Curve for Reserves 1. If iff is below id, then discount borrowing, Rs = Rn 2. Supply curve flat (infinitely elastic) at id because as iff starts to go above id, banks borrow more at id Market Equilibrium Rd= Rs at i*ff

  3. Supply and Demand for Reserves

  4. Open Market Purchase Nonborrowed reserves, Rn, and shifts supply curve to right Rs2: i to i2ff Response to Open Market Operations

  5. Response to a Change in the Discount Rate (a) No discount lending Lower Discount Rate Horizontal to section  and supply curve just shortens, iff stays same (b) Some discount lending Lower Discount Rate Horizontal section , iff  to i2ff = i2d

  6. Response to Change in Required Reserves Required reserve Requirement  Demand for reserves , Rs shifts right and iff to i2ff

  7. Open Market Operations 2 Types 1. Dynamic: Meant to change MB 2. Defensive: Meant to offset other factors affecting MB, typically uses repos Advantages of Open Market Operations 1. Fed has complete control 2. Flexible and precise 3. Easily reversed 4. Implemented quickly

  8. Discount Loans Lender of Last Resort Function 1. To prevent banking panics FDIC fund not big enough Example: Continental Illinois 2. To prevent nonbank financial panics Examples: 1987 stock market crash and September 11 terrorist incident

  9. How Primary Credit Facility Puts Ceiling on iff Rightward shift of Rs to Rs2 moves equilibrium to point 2 where i2ff = id and discount lending rises from zero to DL2

  10. Discount Policy Advantages 1. Lender of Last Resort Role Disadvantages 1. Confusion interpreting discount rate changes 2. Fluctuations in discount loans cause unintended fluctuations in money supply 3. Not fully controlled by Fed

  11. Reserve Requirements Advantages 1. Powerful effect Disadvantages 1. Small changes have very large effect on Ms 2. Raising causes liquidity problems for banks 3. Frequent changes cause uncertainty for banks 4. Tax on banks
