Study Notes
Money Demand
- Economic agents are only interested in the value of money in terms of its purchasing power.
- Money is defined in real terms as nominal money demand divided by the price level.
Liquidity Preference Theory
- The demand for real money balances depends on the level of income (Y) and the interest rate (i).
- The total demand for real money balances is the sum of demand for active money balances (La) and demand for passive balances (Lp).
Demand for Active Balances (La)
- Transactions demand for money arises from the use of money in carrying out normal transactions.
- Precautionary money demand is to cater for unforeseen contingencies.
Money Creation
- The banking system creates money through the process of deposits and loans.
- The total increase in money supply is given by: ∆M = ∆R / r, where ∆R is the initial change in reserves, ∆M is the change in money supply, and r is the reserve requirement ratio.
Money Stock Determination
- The money stock is determined by the behavior of the public (currency-deposit ratio) and commercial banks (reserve-deposit ratio).
- The money stock equation is: M = CU + D, where M is the money stock, CU is currency held by the public, and D is deposits.
Reserve Requirements
- Under 100% reserve banking, the banking system does not affect the supply of money.
- Under fractional reserve banking, banks create money by loaning out a portion of their deposits.
Banking System
- A deposit into a bank increases the bank's liabilities and assets.
- The bank retains a portion of the deposit as reserves and loans out the rest, creating new money.
