Assume that securitization combined with borrowing and irrational exuberance in Hyperville have driven up the value of asset-backed financial securities at a geometric rate, specifically from $4 to $8 to $16 to $32 to $64 to $128 over a six-year time period. Over the same period, the value of the assets underlying the securities rose at an arithmetic rate from $4 to $6 to $8 to $10 to $12 to $14.
If these patterns hold for decreases as well as for increases, by how much would the value of the financial securities decline if the value of the underlying asset suddenly and unexpectedly fell by $6?

- Since the Fed has begun paying interest on bank reserves at the Fed, do barks still want to avoid holding excess reserves? Context: If lending was more profitable than the currently very low interest rate (formerly zero) that could be received from the Fed on excess reserves, we would still normally expect barks to lend out excess reserves rather than maintain them as excess reserves Judging from the fact that there has been a huge increase in holdings of excess reserves in the barking system, however, there may well be other constraints (such as Basel III) that may be limiting bank's willingness to lend out excess reserves.arrow_forwardThe table below reports the breakdown of assets and liabilities for all commercial banks for January 2020, two months before the start of the COVID-19 recession, and December 2020.
