We just understood the equilibrium and transmission mechanisms of the goods market. Now we will analyze the money market… Topic III. MACROECOMIC EQUILIBRIUM IN A FIXED PRICE MODEL: SORT-RUN ANALYSIS A. The goods market B. The money market C. The goods and money markets together (The IS-LM model) IV. MACROECOMIC EQUILIBRIUM IN A FLEXIBLE PRICE MODEL: LONG-RUN ANALYSIS A. Determination of the price level (The AS-AD model) B. Labor Market Textbook chapters 8, 8A, 9, 9A 10, 11 12 13 14 • Overview of money - What is money? Roles of money (medium of exchange, unit of account, store of value). - Types of money Commodity money, fiduciary money, fiat money. - Measuring money M1 and M2 - Should each country has one “official” own money? • Money supply - Institutions involved in money creation - Private banks - Central Bank Open market operations, required reserve ratio, discount rate - Supply curve of money Overview of money • What is money? - Medium of exchange (quintessential function): - What sellers generally accept and buyers generally use to pay for goods and services. A monetary economy is welfare improving compared with barter economy because it avoids mutual coincidence of wants. - Unit of account: A standard unit that provides a consistent way of quoting prices Example: - Unit of account: A standard unit that provides a consistent way of quoting prices Examples: a) 2 goods: Lunches (L) and cloth (C) → 1 relative price: L in terms of unit of C b) 3 goods: Lunches (L), cloth (C) and wood (W) → 3 relative prices: L in terms of unit of C L in terms of unit of W C in terms of unit of W nn 1 relative prices 2 (e.g. n=1000 → 499500 relative prices) c) n goods: → In a monetary economy you just need n prices in terms of money! - Store of value: An asset that can be used to transport purchasing power from one time period to another. - Liquidity of money: The property of money that makes it a good medium of exchange as well as a store of value. • Types of money - Commodity money: Items used as money that also have intrinsic value in some other use. - Fiduciary money: Paper money that is backed by precious metals or other commodities. - Fiat money: Paper money that is intrinsically worthless. • Measuring money - Remember… Money is an asset that is issued to: i) buy things (medium of exchange) ii) to hold wealth (store of value) iii) to quote prices (unit of account) - What is money and what is not? Coins and currency money Checking account Traveler’s checks Savings accounts Certificate of deposit Liquidity - Different measures of money based on liquidity M1 = currency held outside banks + checking accounts + + traveler’s checks + other checkable deposits M2 = M1 + savings accounts + money market accounts + + small certificate of deposits • Should each country has one “official” own money? - As a general rule, each country has one “official” own money US$, Argentinean Peso, Chinese Yuan - Some countries share a common currency Euro, East Caribbean dollar, Colonies françaises d'Afrique ("French colonies of Africa") - Some countries have not own or shared currency Ecuador (since 2000), Panama - Some countries have more than one “currency” Argentina 1999-2002 has more than 15 currencies! Money supply • Institutions involved in money creation - Central Bank (e.g. the Federal Reserve in the US): Monetary institution that has the legal authority to issue bills and coins. Among other functions it regulates the banking system and is the lender of last resort. - Private banks (e.g. Bank of America): Act as a link between those who have money to lend and those who want to borrow money. • Money supply Central bank and Private banks • Equilibrium in money market Equilibrium interest rate • Private banks - Brief review of accounting - Balance sheet of a typical private bank - The creation of money - The money multiplier • Central Bank - The Central Bank can determine the supply of notes (bills and coins). - Let us examine the balance sheet of the Central Bank (Fed 2005, millions of US$). Assets Gold Loans to banks US treasure securities TOTAL Liabilities $11,037 3,330 724,700 $820,910 Federal reserve notes $729,601 Deposits: Bank reserves 26,130 US treasury 4,813 Other liabilities and net worth 60,366 TOTAL $820,910 - How does the Central Bank controls the money supply? • If Central Bank wants to ↑Ms creates more reserves there by freeing banks to create additional deposits by making more loans. If it wants to decrease the money supply, it reduces reserves. • The Central Bank has available 3 tools: 1) Engaging in open market operations 2) Changing the required reserve ratio 3) Changing the discount rate 1) Engaging in open market operations The purchase and sale by the Central Bank of government securities (bonds) in the open market. • Example: Central Bank sells gov. securities ↓Ms PANEL 1 Assets Securities Federal Reserve Liabilities $100 $20 Reserves $80 Currency Commercial Banks Assets Liabilities Reserves Loans $20 $80 $100 Deposits Assets Deposits Jane Q.

Public Liabilities $0 $0 Debts $5 $5 Net Worth 2) Changing the required reserve ratio Increases (decreases) in the required reserve ratio allows banks to have less (more) deposits with the existing volume of reserves, therefore decreasing (increasing) the supply of money. • Example: Central Bank reduce reserve ratio from 20% to 12.5% ↑Ms PANEL 1: REQUIRED RESERVE RATIO = 20% Federal Reserve Assets Government securities Commercial Banks Liabilities $200 Assets $100 Reserves Reserves $100 $100 Currency Loans $400 Liabilities $500 Deposits Note: Money supply (M1) = Currency + Deposits = $600.
