Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison Wesley. All rights reserved. 15-16 Example: E-Gold Backed E-Money The Internet has served as a breeding ground for various forms of e-money. Gold-backed e-money effectively provides measures of the purchasing power, in terms of gold, of several major world currencies.

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison Wesley. All rights reserved. 16-69 Introduction Smart cards permit people to use digital cash, which consists of funds contained in software programs called digital algorithms. By the time you finish this chapter, you will understand how the use of digital cash may affect the quantity of money in circulation.
70
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison Wesley. All rights reserved. 16-70 Did You Know That… Through actions initiated by a central bank such as the Federal Reserve, depository institutions together create money? In this chapter, we shall examine the money multiplier process, which explains how an injection of new money into the banking system leads to an eventual multiple expansion in the total money supply.
71
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison Wesley. All rights reserved. 16-71 Links Between Changes in the Money Supply and Other Economic Variables There are links between changes in the money supply and changes in GDP. There are links between changes in the money supply and the rate of inflation.

73
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison Wesley. All rights reserved. 16-73 Links Between Changes in the Money Supply and Other Economic Variables (cont'd) Fractional Reserve Banking A system in which depository institutions hold reserves that are less than the amount of deposits Originated when goldsmiths issued notes that exceeded the value of gold and silver on hand
74
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison Wesley. All rights reserved. 16-74 Depository Institution Reserves What do you think? Can banks pay off all of their depositors? How is it possible that they can pay them off eventually but not pay them off simultaneously?
75
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison Wesley. All rights reserved. 16-75 Depository Institution Reserves (cont'd) In a fractional reserve banking system, banks do not keep sufficient reserves on hand to cover 100% of their depositors' accounts. There are three distinguishable types of reserves: legal, required and excess.
76
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison Wesley. All rights reserved. 16-76 Depository Institution Reserves (cont'd) Reserves In the U.S. Federal Reserve System, deposits held by Federal Reserve district banks for depository institutions, plus depository institutions’ vault cash
77
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison Wesley. All rights reserved. 16-77 Depository Institution Reserves (cont'd) Legal Reserves Anything that the law permits banks to claim as reserves—for example, deposits held at Federal Reserve district banks and vault cash
78
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison Wesley. All rights reserved. 16-78 Depository Institution Reserves (cont'd) Required Reserves The value of reserves that a depository institution must hold in the form of vault cash or deposits with the Fed
79
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison Wesley. All rights reserved. 16-79 Depository Institution Reserves (cont'd) Question Do banks set their own reserve rate? Answer No, the Federal Reserve sets the reserve requirement Currently it is 10% on most transactions deposits
80
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison Wesley. All rights reserved. 16-80 Depository Institution Reserves (cont'd) Required Reserve Ratio The percentage of total transactions deposits that the Fed requires depository institutions to hold in the form of vault cash or deposits with the Fed Required reserves = Transactions deposits Required reserve ratio
81
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison Wesley. All rights reserved. 16-81 Depository Institution Reserves (cont'd) Excess Reserves The difference between legal reserves and required reserves Excess reserves = Legal reserves – Required reserves
82
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison Wesley. All rights reserved. 16-82 The Relationship Between Legal Reserves and Total Deposits Balance Sheet Statements of assets (what is owned) and liabilities (what is owed) How a single bank reacts to an increase in reserves We will examine the balance sheet of a single bank.
83
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison Wesley. All rights reserved. 16-83 The Relationship Between Legal Reserves and Total Deposits (cont'd) We assume 1. Reserve ratio is 10% 2. Transactions deposits are the bank’s only liabilities and loans are the bank’s assets 3. An individual bank can lend as much as legally allowed 4. Every time a loan is made, the proceeds are put into a deposit account (nothing withdrawn) 5. Zero excess reserves are kept 6. Banks have zero net worth
84
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison Wesley. All rights reserved. 16-84 The Relationship Between Legal Reserves and Total Deposits (cont'd) Net Worth The difference between assets and liabilities

Does Typical Bank have excess reserves?
87

All rights reserved. 16-88 The Relationship Between Legal Reserves and Total Deposits (cont'd) Following the deposit What will Typical Bank do with its excess reserves? Loan them out Could Typical Bank safely loan out more than its excess reserves? By law holds a certain amount of required reserves
89
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison Wesley. All rights reserved. 16-89 The Relationship Between Legal Reserves and Total Deposits (cont'd) Effect on the money supply New reserves for the banking system as a whole are not created when debit-card or check payments are transferred from one bank and deposited in another bank. The Federal Reserve System can however, create new reserves—the subject of our next section.

92
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison Wesley. All rights reserved. 16-92 Money Expansion by the Banking System Consider the entire banking system; for practical purposes, we can look at all depository institutions taken as a whole. To understand how money is created, we must understand how depository institutions respond to Fed actions that increase reserves in the entire system.

98
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison Wesley. All rights reserved. 16-98 Money Expansion by the Banking System (cont'd) Recall The Fed bought a bond and deposited it at Bank 1, immediately increasing the money supply by $100,000. The deposit creation process (in addition to the $100,000) occurs because of the fractional reserve banking system. Banks will lend out any excess reserves as they can earn interest income on new loans.
99

103
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison Wesley. All rights reserved. 16-103 Money Expansion by the Banking System (cont'd) What do you think? Could Banks 4, 5, 6, etc. create even more money?

106
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison Wesley. All rights reserved. 16-106 Money Expansion by the Banking System (cont'd) Only when additional new reserves and deposits are created by the Federal Reserve System does the money supply increase. The reverse process occurs when there is a decrease in reserves because the Fed sells $100,000 in government securities.

109
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison Wesley. All rights reserved. 16-109 The Money Multiplier (cont'd) Example Fed buys $100,000 of government securities Reserve ratio = 10% Potential change in the money supply = $100,000 = $1,000,000 x 1.10

115
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison Wesley. All rights reserved. 16-115 Ways in Which the Federal Reserve Changes the Money Supply (cont'd) Today’s discount rate policy is to set discount rate above the federal funds rate. Question Why would the Fed do this?
116
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison Wesley. All rights reserved. 16-116 Ways in Which the Federal Reserve Changes the Money Supply (cont'd) Question What if the Fed changes reserve requirements it imposes? What if reserve requirements go from 10 to 20%? Answer Then the money multiplier changes from 10 to 5.
