Chapter 2 of Cecchetti
Money and the Payments
System
Money
Money

Money is an asset that is generally accepted as payment
for goods and services or repayment of debt.
1. A means of payment.


Transferability
Information
2. A unit of account


Allocation of resources
Relative prices
3. A store of value

Liquidity
Example: Island Economy
1M florins
1M oz gold
Gold Miner
Blacksmith
Farmer
Teacher
CENTRAL
BANK
“M”=million
Example: Island Economy

Central bank declares it stands ready
to redeem 1 florin for 1 ounce of gold
from anyone at any time.

Example: Island economy

Assume no banking system

No bank deposits

Money supply is completely in the form
of currency

Money supply = 1,000,000 fl
Example: Island Economy


Initial Purpose:

Keep florins safe
Commercial Bank Balance Sheet
ASSETS
LIABILITIES
Currency 1M fl
Deposits 1M fl

Why not loan some of those florins
out?
Example: Island Economy


Bank Reserves: liquid assets held by
banks to meet demands for withdrawls
from investors.
Central Bank mandates bank must
hold some fraction of florins in vaults
called reserves.
Example: Island Economy

Reserve deposit ratio = currency/deposits

Assume required reserve deposit ratio = 20%

Commercial Bank loans out 80% of deposits


800,000 fl
These are deposited back in the bank
Example: Island Economy

--------------------------------------------------------Total

1,800,000 fl




Reserve deposit ratio = 1/(1.8) = 60%
Only need .20  1,800,000 =360,000 fl
Can loan out 1,000,000 – 360,000 = 640,000 fl
Deposited back in bank
Example: Island Economy

ASSETS
LIABILITIES
Currency 1,000,000 fl
Deposits 2,440,000 fl
Loans
1,440,000 fl
--------------------------------------------------------Total
2,440,000 fl
2,400,000 fl




Reserve deposit ratio = 1/(2.4) = 42%
Only need .20  2,440,000 =488,000 fl
Can loan out 1,000,000 – 488,000 = 512,000 fl
Does this just go on forever . . . . . ?
Example: Island Economy

Equilibrium is achieved when
Currency/deposits = 0.20
1,000,000/deposits = 0.20
1,000,000/0.20 = deposits
5,000,000 = deposits
Example: Island Economy


LIABILITIES
Deposits 5,000,000 fl
----------------------------5,000,000 fl
Reserve deposit ratio = 1/5 = 20%
Money Supply

Banks have effect on the money supply

Bank Deposits



In example, no cash is held by public


Very liquid, can be used for transactions
Are counted as part of the money supply
Money supply = total deposits
Risk of bank runs
Measuring Money
Different Definitions of money based upon
degree of liquidity.
Federal Reserve System defines
monetary aggregates: measures of money

Bond Demand and Supply

From perspective of primary market




Market in which firms issue debt, sell to investors
Suppliers: Firms and Government
Demanders: Investors
Looking at secondary market, does not allow us
to investigate firm behavior

Market in which investors buy and sell bonds among
themselves

impact the other

Government and Corporate rates are
connected.

unambiguously causes bond prices to
rise and yields to fall.

emerges from a recession.

Jobs are created, household wealth increases


Bond prices decline, yields increase
Credit Markets August 28
Relative Risk of U.S. treasuries has dropped.
Demand curve shifts right. Prices jump up,
yields decline.
Relative return of U.S. treasuries is higher.
Demand curve shifts right. Prices jump up,
yields decline.
Credit Markets July 2
Softer inflation causes demand curve to
shift right, supply curve to shift left. Both
effects cause prices to increase, yields
to decrease.
