Chapter 3 What Is Money?

Meaning of Money What is it? Money (or the “money supply”): anything that is generally accepted in payment for goods or services or in the repayment of debts. A rather broad definition

Meaning of Money (cont’d) Money (a stock concept) is different from: Wealth: the total collection of pieces of property that serve to store value Income: flow of earnings per unit of time (a flow concept)

Functions of Money Medium of Exchange: A medium of exchange must Eliminates the trouble of finding a double coincidence of needs (reduces transaction costs) Promotes specialization A medium of exchange must be easily standardized be widely accepted be divisible be easy to carry not deteriorate quickly

Functions of Money (cont’d) Unit of Account: used to measure value in the economy reduces transaction costs Store of Value: used to save purchasing power over time. other assets also serve this function Money is the most liquid of all assets but loses value during inflation

Evolution of the Payments System Commodity Money: valuable, easily standardized and divisible commodities (e.g. precious metals, cigarettes). Fiat Money: paper money decreed by governments as legal tender.

Evolution of the Payments System (cont’d) Checks: an instruction to your bank to transfer money from your account Electronic Payment (e.g. online bill pay). E-Money (electronic money): Debit card Stored-value card (smart card) E-cash

FYI Are We Headed for a Cashless Society? Predictions of a cashless society have been around for decades, but they have not come to fruition Although e-money might be more convenient and efficient than a payments system based on paper, several factors work against the disappearance of the paper system Still, the use of e-money will likely still increase in the future

Measuring Money How do we measure money? Which particular assets can be called “money”? Construct monetary aggregates using the concept of liquidity: M1 (most liquid assets) = currency + traveler’s checks + demand deposits + other checkable deposits.

Measuring Money (cont’d) M2 (adds to M1 other assets that are not so liquid) = M1 + small denomination time deposits + savings deposits and money market deposit accounts + money market mutual fund shares.

Table 1 Measures of the Monetary Aggregates

Monetary Aggregates M1 (4) M2 (4+3) Currency Traveler’s Checks Demand Deposits Other Check. Dep M1 (4) M2 (4+3) M3 (4+3+4) Small Den. Dep. Savings and MM Money Market Mutual Funds Shares

M1 vs. M2 Does it matter which measure of money is considered? M1 and M2 can move in different directions in the short run (see figure). Conclusion: the choice of monetary aggregate is important for policymakers.

FYI Where Are All the U.S. Dollars? The more than $2,000 of U.S. currency held per person in the United States is a surprisingly large number Where are all these dollars and who is holding them? Criminals Foreigners
