Reserve requirements – depository institutions are required to maintain a specific fraction of their customers’ deposits as reserves.
Discount rate – rate depository institutions pay when they borrow from the Fed
Open market operations – Fed can buy or sell government securities to alter the money supply

Suppose a depositor in Bank Ag sells $1 million in government securitiesto the Fed. He then deposits the proceeds from the sale in his bank. Ifthe fractional reserve requirement ratio is 20 percent, Bank Ag canincrease the volume of its loans by $800,000. Suppose the proceeds of these loans are deposited in Bank B. Follow the trail to the Total line.

Change in the Money SupplyWe can skip tracing deposits through the economy byusing the following money supply (MS) equation:
MS = (1.0 ÷ RR) × TR = MM × TR
where TR represents total reserves and RR is thereserve requirement ratio. The expression with thebrackets is known as the money multiplier.
We can restate this equation in terms of the change in the money supply as follows:
MS = (1.0 ÷ RR) × TR = MM × TRPage 252-253

Change in the Money SupplyUsing the example in Table 13.3 of the $1 million deposit on page 307 and 20% reserve requirements ratio, we see that the change in the money supply is:
MS = (1.0 ÷ .20) x TR = 5.0 x $1 million = $5 million
This results in a change in loans of
loans = MS - TR = $5 million - $1 million = $4 million
See bottom line in Table 13.3

Determinantsof the
Money Demand
Introduction to Agricultural Economics, 5th edPenson, Capps, Rosson, and Woodward

Demand for Money
Transactions demand for money – carry cash to pay for normal expenditures
Precautionary demand for money – carry cash to cover unexpected expenditures
Speculative demand for money – hold cash as an asset in investment portfolios since the value of cash does not decline during periods of falling asset prices.

The money demand curve is given by equation (16.5):MD = c –d(R) + e(NI)where R is the rate of interest and NI is nationalincome. The coefficient d is the slope of the curve and e represents MD÷ NI.

Recent Trends in Deficit
• Typically the economy runs a budget deficit at the federal level
• 1998-2001 were the exceptions in recent years
• Fueled by 2008-09 financial crisis and huge deficit spending in bailouts, etc.

Fiscal Policy Options
Automatic fiscal policy instruments: take effect without explicit action by policymakers (e.g., progressive tax rates)
Discretionary fiscal policy instruments: require explicit actions by the president or Congress (e.g., passing a law)
