MONEY, BANKS, AND THE FED
Chapter 13 & 14
THE MONEY SUPPLY
Anything that serves all of the following purposes can be thought of as money:Medium of exchange – Is accepted as payment for
goods and services (and debts).goods and services (and debts). Store of value – Can be held for future purchases. Standard of value – Serves as a measurement for
the prices of goods and services.

MODERN CONCEPTS
Money is anything generally accepted as a medium of exchange.
The “greenbacks” we carry around today are not the only form of “money” we usenot the only form of money we use.
Checking accounts can and do perform the same market functions as cash.
Credit cards are another popular medium of exchange but are not money. They are only a payment service with no store of
value in and of themselves. 3
DIVERSITY OF BANK ACCOUNTS
Some bank accounts are better substitutes for cash than others.
Money supply (M1): - Currency held by the public plus balances in transactions accountspublic, plus balances in transactions accounts.M1 includes currency in circulation, transaction-
account balances, and traveler’s checks. A transactions account is a bank account that
permits direct payment to a third party, for example, with a check.Largest component of Money Supply
4
M2: M1 + SAVINGS ACCOUNTS, ETC.
M2 money supply – M1 plus balances in most savings accounts and money market mutual funds. Savings-account balances are almost as good a
substitute for cash as transaction-account balances.
How much money is available affects consumers’ ability to purchase goods and, services – aggregate demand.
M1 and M2 are fairly reliable benchmarks for gauging how much purchasing power market participants have.
5
COMPOSITION OF THE MONEY SUPPLY
Money market mutual funds and deposits ($1027 billion)
M2($5383 billion)
Currency in circulation ($569 billion)
Transactions-account balances ($612 billion)
Savings account balances ($3167 billion)
Traveler’s checks ($8 billion)
M1($1189 billion)

CREATION OF MONEY
The deposit of funds into a bank does not change the size of the money supply. It changes the composition of the money supply
(transfers from cash to transaction deposits).(transfers from cash to transaction deposits).When a bank lends someone money, it simply
credits that individual’s bank account.
7
DEPOSIT CREATION
Deposit creation is the creation of transactions deposits by bank lending.
When a bank makes a loan, it effectively creates money because transactions-account balances are counted as part of the money supply.
There are two basic principles of the money supply: Transactions-account balances are a large portion of
our money supply. Banks can create transactions-account balances by
making loans.8
BANK REGULATION
The deposit-creation activities of banks are regulated by the government.
The Federal Reserve System limits the amount of bank lending thereby controlling the basic of bank lending, thereby controlling the basic money supply.

A MONOPOLY BANK
Assume a student deposits $100 from their piggy bank into the monopoly bank and receives a new checking account.
When someone deposits cash or coins in a When someone deposits cash or coins in a bank, they are changing the composition of the money supply, not its size.
10
THE INITIAL LOAN
The monopoly bank loans $100 to the Campus Radio station and issues a checking account. This loan is accomplished by a simple bookkeeping
entry.entry. Total bank reserves have remained unchanged.Bank reserves are assets held by a bank to fulfill its
deposit obligations.Money has been created because the checking
account is considered to be money.
11
SECONDARY DEPOSITS
In a one bank system, when Campus Radio uses the loan, the money supply does not contract, rather ownership of deposits change.
Bank reserves are only a fraction of total Bank reserves are only a fraction of total transaction deposits.
The reserve ratio is the ratio of a bank's reserves to its total deposits (Fed requirement).

Reserve ratio =Bank reservesTotal deposits
THE T-ACCOUNT OF THE BANK
The books of a bank must always balance, because all of the assets of the bank must belong to someone (its depositors or its owners).owners).

REQUIRED RESERVES
Required reserves are the minimum amount of reserves a bank is required to hold by government regulation; Equal to required reserve ratio times transactions deposits.
The minimum reserve requirement directly limits deposit-creation possibilities.
Required reserves = minimum reserve ratio X total deposits
16
A MULTIBANK WORLD
In reality, there is more than one bank. The ability of banks to make loans depends on
access to excess reserves.
17
A MULTIBANK WORLD
Example: If a bank is required to hold $20 in reserves but has $100 currently, it can lend out the $80 excess. Excess reserves =Total reserves-Required reserves) Excess reserves Total reserves Required reserves)
So long as a bank has excess reserves, it can make loans.
18
CHANGES IN THE MONEY SUPPLY
The creation of transaction deposits via new loans is the same thing as creating money.
As the excess reserves are loaned out again, more deposits are created and thus more more deposits are created and thus more money is created.

THE MONEY MULTIPLIER
In a multi-bank system, deposits created by one bank invariably end up as reserves in another bank.
This process can theoretically continue until all This process can theoretically continue until all banks have zero excess reserves (no more loans can be made).
This is known as the money-multiplier process.
24
THE MONEY MULTIPLIER
The money multiplier is the number of deposit (loan) dollars that the banking system can create from $1 of excess reserves.
Money multiplier = 1
Required reserve requirement
25
THE MONEY MULTIPLIER
When a new deposit enters the banking system, it creates both excess and required reserves. The required reserves represent leakage from the
flow of money, since they cannot be used to create new loans.
Excess reserve can be used for new loans (often turned into transactions deposits elsewhere).
Some additional leakage into required reserves occurs, and further loans are made.
26
THE MONEY MULTIPLIER
The entire banking system can increase the volume of loans by the amount of excess reserves multiplied by the money multiplier.
The money supply can be increased through The money supply can be increased through the process of deposit creation to this limit:

Potential deposit creation = Excess reserves of banking system

EXCESS RESERVES AS LENDING POWER
Each bank may lend an amount equal to its excess reserves and no more.
The entire banking system can increase the volume of loans by the amount of excess volume of loans by the amount of excess reserves multiplied by the money multiplier.
29

Original deposit = $ 100.00Bank A loans: = $ 80.00 [=0.8 x $100.00]Bank B loans = $ 64.00 [=0.8 x $80.00]B k C l $ 51 20 [ 0 8 $64 00]Bank C loans = $ 51.20 [=0.8 x $64.00]
Total money supply = $ 500.00

BANKS AND THE CIRCULAR FLOW
Banks perform two essential functions for the macro economy:Banks transfer money from savers to spenders by
lending funds (reserves) held on deposit.lending funds (reserves) held on deposit. The banking system creates additional money by
making loans in excess of total reserves.
31

A substantial portion of consumer saving is deposited in banks which can be used to make loans, thereby returning purchasing power to the circular flow.
The banking system can create any desired level of money supply if allowed to expand or reduce loan activity at will.
34
CONSTRAINTS ON DEPOSIT CREATION
There are three major constraints on deposit creation:Deposits – Consumers must be willing to use and
accept checks rather than cash.accept checks rather than cash.Borrowers – Consumers must be willing to borrow
the money that banks provide.Regulation – The Federal Reserve sets the ceiling
on deposit creation.
35
WHEN BANKS FAIL
Because of the fractional reserve system, no bank can pay off its customers if they all sought to withdraw their deposits at one time.
36
BANK PANICS
Occasional “runs” of depositors rushing to withdraw their funds have created panics in the past. As word spread, it became a self-fulfilling confirmation
of a bank’s insolvencyof a bank’s insolvency.
The resulting bank closing wiped out customer deposits, curtailed bank lending, and often pushed the economy into recession.
As their reserves dwindled, the ability of banks to create money evaporated and a chunk of money (bank deposits and loans) just disappeared.
37
DEPOSIT INSURANCE
In 1933-34, the FDIC and FSLIC were created by Congress to ensure depositors that their money would be safe -- thus eliminating the motivation for deposit runs.motivation for deposit runs.

INTRODUCTION: FEDERAL RESERVE
The fed’s control over the supply of money is the key mechanism of monetary policy.
• Monetary policy is the use of money and
The Federal Reserve maintains an excellent synopsis of the roles of the respective parts of the system here.
Monetary policy is the use of money and credit controls to influence macroeconomic activity.
FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
Congress passed the Federal Reserve Act in 1913 to avert recurrent financial crises.
Each of the twelve (12) Federal Reserve banks act as a central banker for the private banks in act as a central banker for the private banks in their region.
FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
The Federal Reserve performs the following services:
l Clears checks between private banksl Holds bank reserves.l Provides currency to the public.l Provides loans to private banks.
THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS
The Fed is controlled by a seven person Board of Governors.
Each governor is appointed to a 14-year term by the President (with confirmation by the U.S. ySenate). The President selects one of the governors to serve
as chairman for a 4-year term.
The long term is intended to give the Fed a strong measure of political independence.
THE FEDERAL OPEN MARKET COMMITTEE(FOMC)
The FOMC is a twelve member group (the seven governors along with five of the 12 regional Reserve bank presidents).
The FOMC oversees the daily activity of the Fed The FOMC oversees the daily activity of the Fed and meets every 4-5 weeks to review monetary policy and outcomes.

MONETARY TOOLS
The Federal Reserve controls the money supply using the following three policy instruments:Reserve requirementsDiscount ratesDiscount ratesOpen-market operations
RESERVE REQUIREMENTS The Fed directly alters the lending capacity of
the banking system by changing the reserve requirement (to change the level of excess reserves).
Excess reserves = Total reserves –
The money multiplier determines how much in additional loans the banking system can make based on their excess reserves.
Required reserves
Available lending capacity of the banking system = excess reserves X
money multiplier
RESERVE REQUIREMENTS
By raising the required reserve ratio, the Fed can immediately reduce the lending capacity of the banking system.
A change in the reserve requirement causes a A change in the reserve requirement causes a change in:l Excess reserves.l The money multiplier.l The lending capacity of the banking system.
IMPACT OF AN INCREASED RESERVE REQUIREMENT

Total reserves 30 billion 30 billion
Required reserves 20 billion 25 billion
Excess reserves 10 billion 5 billion
Money multiplier 5 4
Unused lending capacity $ 50 billion $ 20 billion
THE DISCOUNT RATE
Excess reserves earn no interest. Banks have a tremendous profit incentive to
keep their reserves as close to their required reserve level as possiblereserve level as possible.

THE FEDERAL FUNDS MARKET
The federal funds market is where a bank that finds itself short of reserves can turn to other banks for help.
The federal funds rate is the interest rate for The federal funds rate is the interest rate for inter-bank reserve loans.Reserves borrowed in this manner are called
“federal funds” and are lent for short periods -usually overnight.
SALE OF SECURITIES
A bank that is low on reserves can also sell securities.
Banks use some of their excess reserves to purchase government bondspurchase government bonds.
DISCOUNTING
Discounting refers to the Federal Reserve lending of reserves to private banks. A bank can deal with a reserve shortage by going to
the Fed’s “discount window” to borrow reserves directlydirectly.
The discount rate is the rate of interest the Federal Reserve charges for lending reserves to private banks.
By raising or lowering the discount rate, the Fed changes the cost of money for banks and the incentive to borrow reserves.
OPEN-MARKET OPERATIONS
Open-market operations are the principal mechanism for directly altering the reserves of the banking system.
The portfolio decision is the choice of how The portfolio decision is the choice of how (where) to hold idle funds.
People do not hold all their idle funds in transactions accounts or cash.
HOLD MONEY OR BONDS
The Fed’s open-market operation focus on the portfolio choices people make.
The Fed attempts to influence the choice by making bonds more or less attractive, as gcircumstances warrant.
When the Fed buys bonds from the public, it increases the flow of deposits (reserves) to the banking system.Bond sales by the Fed reduce the flow.

THE BOND MARKET
Not all of us buy and sell bonds, but a lot of consumers and corporations do.
A bond is a certificate acknowledging a debt and the amount of interest to be paid each year and the amount of interest to be paid each year until repayment.
Like other markets, the bond market exists whenever and however bond buyers and sellers get together.
BOND YIELDS
The current yield paid on a bond is the rate of return on a bond.
n It is the annual interest payment divided by
Yield =Annual interest payment
Price paid for bond
n It is the annual interest payment divided by the bond’s price.
BOND YIELDS
A principal objective of Federal Reserve open market activity is to alter the price of bonds, and therewith their yields.
The less you pay for a bond the higher its yield The less you pay for a bond, the higher its yield. Federal Reserve open-market activity alters the
price of bonds, and their yields. By doing so, the Fed makes bonds a more or
less attractive alternative to holding money.
OPEN MARKET ACTIVITY
Open market operations are Federal Reserve purchases and sales of government bonds for the purpose of altering bank reserves.
If the Fed offers to pay a higher price for bonds If the Fed offers to pay a higher price for bonds, it will effectively lower bond yields and market interest rates.
By buying bonds, the Fed increases bank reserves.

banking system, the federal funds rate will decline.banking system, the federal funds rate will decline. If the Fed is reducing bank reserve by selling bonds,
the federal funds rate will increase.
INCREASING THE MONEY SUPPLY To increase the money supply, the Fed can:
Lower reserve requirements. Increases excess reserves with which they will increase the
money supply through deposit creation (loans).
Reduce the discount rate.M k th t f b i g f th F d h Makes the cost of borrowing reserves from the Fed cheaper, which are used to make more loans.
The effectiveness of lowering the discount rate depends primarily on the difference in the new discount rate and the rate that banks charge their loan customers.
Buy bonds. By purchasing bonds, the Fed places money in bank reserves
who will then increase the money supply even more through additional loans.
FEDERAL FUNDS RATE
When market interest rates fall due to Fed bond purchases, individual banks have an incentive to borrow any excess reserves available to increase loan creation.available to increase loan creation.
The Fed has shifted from money-supply targets to interest targets.
