Economics 304 Lesson 07 to 09
1.
What is the equation for the ‘more realistic’ money multiplier?
Mm=[(C/D) + 1] / [C/D + RR/D + ER/D] = [cu + 1] / [cu + res ]
2.
In the economy, the following statistics describe the money supply:
C
= $500b
R
= $125b
D
= $2,000b
Given these data, calculate the following to whole numbers unless noted otherwise:
Monetary Base (
BASE
):
BASE = C + R = 500 + 125 = 625 B
BASE =
Money Supply (
M
):
M = C + D = 500 + 2000 = 2500
M =
Ratio of reserves to deposits (
res
): (carry out to four decimals)
Res = R / D = 125/2000 = 0.0625
res =
Ratio of currency to deposits (
cu
): (carry out to four decimals)
Cu = C / D = 500/ 2000 =0.25
cu =

Economics 304 Lesson 07 to 09
Mm= (cu + 1) / (cu + res) = 1.25 / .3125 = 4
mm =
Now suppose a shock causes banks to change the amount of reserves they hold relative to
deposits so that
res
changes to 0.0750. Suppose that when this happens, both
cu
and
BASE
do not change. However, the change in
res
will affects
mm
,
M
,
C
,
R
, and
D
.
Calculate the following:
Money Multiplier (
mm
): (carry out to four decimals)
Mm = (cu + 1)/ (cu + res) = 1.25/ 0.25 + 0.0750 = 3.8461
mm =
Money Supply (
M
):
m = mm x base = 3.8461 x 625 = 2403.85
M =
Bank Deposits (
D
):
D = Base / (cu + res) = 625 / (0.25 + .0750) = 1923.07
D =
Currency held by the public (
C
):
C= M – D = 2403.84 – 1923.07 = 480.77
C =
Bank Reserves (

From your textbook:
Just as banking panics led to a decline in the money multiplier during the Great
Depression, a worldwide financial panic similarly caused the money multiplier to decline
in 2008.
Below you will find a graph of the currency-deposit ratio (
cu
) and the reserve-deposit
ratio (
dep
) from the Great Depression.
How were the changes in the currency-deposit ratio (
cu
) different during the Great
Recession than depicted above during the Great Depression? Explain why this
was the case.
How were the changes in the reserve-deposit ratio (
res
) different during the Great
Recession than depicted above during the Great Depression? Explain why this
was the case.
When the fed started paying interest on reserves the money multiplier fell sharply. This was because the reserve- deposit
ratio increased which kept a lot of money from being “multiplier fell sharply. This was because the reserve- deposit ratio
increased which kept a lot of money from being “multiplied” through the economy as deposits.
Algebraically we can see this because the reserve-deposit ratio is in the denominator of the money multiplier equation.
Mm = [(C/D) + 1] / [C/D +RR/D + ER/D] = [cu + 1] / [cu + res]
During the Great Recession we saw the currency-deposit ratio decrease slightly instead of increase.
This was a result of FDIC insurance which insured deposits, Therefore, people did not have a reason
to pull money out of deposits.
During the Great Recession we saw the reserve-deposit ratio increase significantly more than it did
during the Great Depression. The main cause of this was the Federal Reserve began paying interest
on reserves. Therefore, banks held a lot of reserves causing the reserve to deposit ratio to skyrocket.

Economics 304 Lesson 07 to 09
What was different about the Federal Reserve’s actions after the Great Recession
than their actions after the Great Depression?
Suppose the real money demand function is:
Assume M = 3600, P = 2.0, π
e
= 0.01, and Y = 5000.
Note:
we are holding P and Y constant in this problem until we get to case #2 below.
What is the market clearing real interest rate?
r =
During the Great Depression, the Federal Reserve did not increase the momentary base significantly
enough to offset the decline in the money multiplier. This led to the overall money supply decrease
causing a deflationary environment. During the Great Recession, the Federal Reserve was able to
increase the monetary base by enough to offset the decline in the money multiplier. Making it so the
money supply continued to rise, and we did not see level of deflation seen during the Great
Depression.
3600/2 = 1500 + 0.2 * 5000 – 10,000(r + 0.01)

Economics 304 Lesson 07 to 09
Suppose Janet Yellen and the Fed were successful in their campaign to raise inflationary
expectations to 4% (.04).
Why would they want to do this? Use the Fisher equation to
support your argument.
Solve for the real interest rate that clears the money market given the change in
inflationary expectations. Please show work and Label this new point as point B on your
diagram above.
r =
We know that the real interest rate is equal to the nominal interest rate minus the expected rate of
inflation. This is called the fisher equation and is below in equation form.
R = I – pi^e
If the fed raises inflationary expectations, all else constant, then real rates will fail. They would want
to do this if they wanted to expand a slowing economy.

Consider a banking system where the Federal Reserve uses required reserves to control the money supply. (This was the case in the U.S. prior to
2008.) Assume that banks do not hold excess reserves and that households do not hold currency, so the only form of money is demand deposits. To
simplify the analysis, suppose the banking system has total reserves of $300. Determine the money multiplier and the money supply for each reserve

In 2019, a Federal reserve publications stated: " The federal reserve can no longer effectively influence the FFR by small changes in the supply of reserves." Is this statement true?
1. No, since the 2007-2009 financial crises, the Fed has fixed the FFR to match the level of reserves held in the banking system.
2. Yes, since the 2007-2009 financial crises, banks have held substantial excess reserves so small changes in reserves by the Fed do not significantly influence the FFR
3. No, the FFR always reacts to the level of reserves, so any changes in reserves by the Fed will impact the FFR
4. Yes, since the 2007-2009 financial crises, banks have stopped holding excess reserves altogether so small changes in reserves have no impact on the FFR

Interest rates (i) 5.5% 5% 4.5% Ms O increase the money supply $10 million O increase the money supply $100 million O decrease the money supply $300 million O decrease the money supply $200 million O decrease the money supply $100 million $200 $300 $350 Mp Quantity of Money (millions) Suppose that the Central Bank wished to raise the equilibrium interest rate up to 5.5%. In order to achieve this, it would need I toarrow_forwardConsider a banking system where the Federal Reserve uses required reserves to control the money supply. (This was the case in the U.S. prior to 2008.) Assume that banks do not hold excess reserves and that households do not hold currency, so the only form of money is demand deposits. To simplify the analysis, suppose the banking system has total reserves of $300. Determine the money multiplier and the money supply for each reserve requirement listed in the following table. Reserve Requirement Money Supply (Percent) Simple Money Multiplier (Dollars) 5 10 A higher reserve requirement is associated with a money supply. Suppose the Federal Reserve wants to increase the money supply by $200. Again, you can assume that banks do not hold excess reserves and that households do not hold currency. If the reserve requirement is 10%, the Fed will use open-market operations to 2$ worth of U.S. government bonds. Now, suppose that, rather than immediately lending out all excess reserves, banks begin…arrow_forward2. Money supply, money demand, and adjustment to monetary equilibrium The following table gives the quantity of money demanded at various price levels (P), the money demand schedule. In the following table, fill in the column labeled Value of Money. Quantity of Money Demanded Price Level (P) Value of Money (1/P) (Billions of dollars) 1.00 1.00 1.33 0.75 2.00 0.50 4.00 0.25 1.5 2.0 3.5 7.0 Now consider the relationship between the quantity of money that people demand and the price level. The lower the price level, the less required to complete transactions, and the less money people will want to hold in the form of currency or demand deposits. Assume that the Federal Reserve initially fixes the quantity of money supplied at $3.5 billion. Use the orange line (square symbol) to plot the initial money supply (MS₁) set by the Fed. Then, referring to the previous table, use the blue connected points (circle symbol) to graph the money demand curve. moneyarrow_forward
- The following graph shows the money market in a hypothetical economy. The central bank in this economy is called the Fed. Assume that the Fed fixes the quantity of money supplied. Suppose the price level increases from 150 to 175. Shift the appropriate curve on the graph to show the impact of an increase in the overall price level on the market for money.

After the increase in the price level, the quantity of money demanded at the initial interest rate of 9% will be supplied by the Fed at this interest rate. People will try to other interest-bearing assets, and bond issuers will find that they equilibrium at an interest rate of % than the quantity of money bonds and interest rates until the money market reaches its new their money holdings.

On the graph, use the blue points (circle symbol) to graph the money demand, and the black point (plus symbol) to signify the initial equilibrium point in the market. Next, shift the money supply curve to show the affects of a $200 billion increase in the money supply. Then, plot the point corresponding to the new equilibrium point using the purple point (diamond symbol). 13 MS 12 11 10 INTEREST RATE (Percent) + 5 M 9 3 2 MS Money Demand Equilibrium Equilibrium,arrow_forward
- Suppose that the Federal Reserve has set a reserve requirement of 10 percent and that banks will not hold any excess reserves. a) If the Federal Reserve conducts open market operations and sells $1 million worth of government bonds to the public, by how much will the money supply decrease? b) Now suppose the Federal Reserve lowers the reserve requirement to 5 percent, but all banks choose to hold an additional 5 percent of deposits as excess reserves. How will this change affect the money supply?
