- Initially, the Republic of Gorgonzola has no commercial banking system. To make trading easier and eliminate the need for barter, the government directs the central bank of Gorgonzola to put into circulation 4,000,000 identical paper notes, called guilders. The central bank prints the guilders and distributes them to the people. At this point the Gorgonzolan money supply is 4,000,000 million guilders.In order to keep the money safe, some Gorgonzolan entrepreneurs set up a system of commercial banks. When people need to make a payment, they can either withdraw their guilders or write a check on their account. Checks give the banks permission to transfer guilders from the account of the person paying by check to the account of the person to whom the check is made out. With a system of payments based on checks, the paper guilders need never leave the banking system, although they flow from one bank to another as a depositor of one bank makes a payment to a depositor in another bank.…arrow_forwardThe table to the right shows hypothetical values, in billions of dollars.

The OECD—the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development—included all 24 of the world’s industrial countries at the time of the exercise. The simulation results were obtained by using the Multi-Country Model of the Federal Reserve Board. Although the effects of an increase in the money supply are felt over several years, the results reported in Table 18.3 show the effect in the second year after the money supply increased. Part A of the table shows that a 4 percent increase in the U.S. money supply results (through the multiplier process) in a 1.5 percent…arrow_forwardHow do changes in interest rates impact consumer spending, business investment, and overall economic activity, and how does the central bank use interest rates as a tool of monetary policy?
