Students come to undergraduate money and banking courses with widely differing back-grounds, majors, and objectives. Money and banking instructors place varying degrees ofemphasis on monetary theory, institutions, and policy. This textbook reflects my view thatthe money and banking course should be the most interesting and timely course in aneconomics or finance curriculum, and that it should be of considerable value to studentswith diverse backgrounds and interests. In addition, Money, Banking, and Financial Marketsshould help instructors teach more easily, regardless of academic focus.
This textbook will provide students with a solid grasp of the fundamental topics,principles, and issues traditionally covered in the money and banking course that arenot thoroughly covered in other courses in the curriculum. This book seeks to minimizeany overlap with intermediate macroeconomics courses. Instead, it aims to provide clearand up-to-date coverage of such fundamental topics as the nature and role of money, fi-nancial institutions and markets, and banking structure and regulation. Money, Banking,and Financial Markets provides an unusually thorough treatment of Federal Reserve in-struments, strategies, and policy transmission, the determinants of interest rates, stockprices, foreign exchange rates, and the nation’s money supply. Compared to other lead-ing money and banking texts, this one seeks to cover fewer topics, but to cover those se-lected topics more clearly and effectively.
This is a policy-oriented text. It provides a thorough explanation of the relevant an-alytical framework, keyed closely to economic policy issues. We pay greater-than-normalattention to the instruments of Federal Reserve policy and the difficulties involved inconducting monetary policy in uncertain economic environments. Separate chapters(12 and 13) cover the institutional makeup of the Federal Reserve System and theEuropean Central Bank. The challenges confronting discretionary conduct of monetarypolicy and the “rules versus discretion” debate are thoroughly covered. The text fea-tures unprecedented coverage and analysis of the Taylor Rule (chapter 24), analyzingits strengths and weaknesses both in formulating monetary policy prospectively and inevaluating policy retrospectively. Modern views of the transmission mechanism of mon-etary policy—the myriad ways in which monetary policy influences economic activity—are thoroughly covered in Chapter 23. Because more than 20 nations have now adoptedinflation-targeting central bank regimes, an entire chapter (25) provides unprece-dented coverage of this topic. In short, this text covers monetary policy in more depththan any existing money and banking text.
Money, Banking, and Financial Markets provides a solid theoretical framework.Students sometimes find economic theory dull or difficult to understand. But an eco-nomic theory, after all, is simply a rigorous explanation of an economic phenomenon.The loanable funds model of interest rates and the various theories of the term struc-ture of interest rates are carefully developed in chapters 5 and 6. We invoke the presentvalue framework to explain stock, bond, and other asset pricing in chapters 5 and 7.Chapter 8 presents theories of long-run and short-run exchange rate determination.Following a brief chapter on the principles of deposit expansion and contraction, we setforth the monetary base—money supply multiplier framework for understandingmoney supply determination in chapters 15 and 16. Chapter 20 develops the aggregatedemand and aggregate supply framework; this chapter also includes a thorough analy-sis of the Phillips curve hypothesis and the factors that cause the natural rate of unem-ployment to fluctuate over time. Chapter 22 provides a comprehensive discussion of thetheory of money demand and velocity. Chapter 23 analyzes the transmission of mone-tary policy, including an in-depth discussion of the “money view” and the “credit view.”
The book adopts a mainstream analytical approach in which both monetary and fis-cal policies significantly influence economic activity, and leaves debates about the vari-

ous theoretical paradigms that diametrically contradict one another to intermediatemacroeconomics courses.
While this text does not skimp on economic theory, it develops the relevant theoryonly to shed light on important economic events and developments. We surround theorywith examples from current events and economic history. For example:
• As soon as we present the analytical framework for understanding how to priceshares of stock in chapter 7, we discuss the 1990s’ run-up of stock prices, the en-suing crash, and the contentious issue of whether central banks should interveneto head off stock market bubbles.
• Immediately after developing the Fisher hypothesis—which links nominal inter-est rates to expected inflation—in chapter 5, we test the theory by examiningbond yields and inflation rates in a cross section of 14 nations.
• As soon as we examine the purchasing power parity (PPP) theory of exchangerates in chapter 8, we provide a graph illustrating the actual and PPP U.S.-Australia exchange rates over a 30-year period. This presentation enables stu-dents to observe that purchasing power parity is strictly a long-run theory of ex-change rate determination.
• As soon as chapters 15 and 16 develop the monetary base—money supply multi-plier framework, we use the framework to analyze the fundamental causes of thecontraction of the U.S. money supply in the Great Depression and the FederalReserve’s role in that catastrophe (chapter 17).
• Immediately after chapter 20 discusses the aggregate supply-aggregate demandmodel, we use the framework to analyze the most important macroeconomic de-velopments of the past 75 years (emphasizing those of the past decade).
Given this approach, students develop the attitude that economic theory is interest-ing and valuable in understanding contemporary economic events.
Reviewers consistently remarked on the clarity of the writing style, the timeliness of thetopics discussed, and the thorough coverage of recent developments. Such develop-ments include the post-1995 acceleration of productivity, the unusual nature of the 2001recession and the “jobless recovery” of 2002–2004, the 2003 Federal Reserve change indiscount window procedures, the corporate and mutual fund scandals of 2002–2004,and recent changes in the list of the nation’s 10 largest banks. Instructors will note sev-eral distinguishing features of this textbook vis-a-vis alternative texts.
Empirical Orientation. More than any other money and banking text, this bookprovides students with a feel for a multitude of key monetary and financial variables, viatables and time-series graphs. More than 70 graphs illustrate how such variables as ex-change rates, bond yields, the currency ratio, the money-supply multiplier, velocity ofmoney, stock prices, and inflation rates have behaved over a period of years. Other fig-ures show the price-earnings ratios of the S&P 500 stock market index; the fed fundsrate vs. that indicated by the Taylor Rule both in the U.S. and in Japan; actual and po-tential GDP; the high correlation between money market yields in the U.S. andGermany, and other economic phenomena. Many of these illustrations are unique—they do not appear in other money and banking texts. While the interest rate chapterof a leading money and banking text includes only one time-series graph featuring in-terest rates or yields, this one includes seven such graphs. Students gain a feel for themagnitude and behavior over time of the variables under discussion.

Substantive Exhibits. Numerous reviewers commented on the substantive andunique nature of the boxed exhibits. This book includes more than 50 exhibits that coversuch topics as the “tech wreck” of 2000–2002, the economics of ATMs, the growth of in-ternet banking, an evaluation of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the 2004 enlargement of theEuropean Union, and salaries of top Federal Reserve officials. Other exhibits discuss IrvingFisher’s genius and versatility; recent trends in U.S. productivity growth; a brief history ofmoney market mutual funds; the demise of the reserve requirement tax; bandwagon phe-nomena in exchange rate movements, and oil prices as aggregate supply shocks. Both in-structors and student readers will find these exhibits superior to those in other texts.
Emphasis on the Worldwide Applicability of Concepts and EconomicPhenomena. The more we study economics, the more we become aware of thesense that “we are in this together.” In the age of the Internet, information travelsaround the world instantaneously. This text emphasizes the high degree of correlationbetween asset prices, business cycle developments, and other economic phenomena inthe United States and in other nations. This point is driven home by time-series graphsillustrating the co-variation of interest rates, stock prices, and other phenomena acrosscountries. Students come to appreciate the worldwide nature of macroeconomic and fi-nancial developments, which enhances the value of the analytical tools that help us un-derstand these phenomena.
Entire Chapter on the Stock Market. As the number and percentage ofAmerican families owning stocks has increased and knowledge of the superior long-term performance of equities has become widespread, interest in the stock market hasincreased apace. Students are keenly interested in the stock market. Chapter 7 is de-voted entirely to the stock market, providing a framework for understanding the factorsdetermining the prices of stocks. The chapter also looks at various stock market indexesand discusses the various measures of stock valuation. We analyze the risk inherent instocks relative to government bonds and discuss the equity risk premium anomaly andthe phenomenon of mean reversion in stock prices.
Unique Chapter on the Great Depression. The economics profession has seena remarkable resurgence of interest in the Great Depression in the past decade or two.This tragic episode presents an excellent case study of monetary policy gone awry. Thistext devotes a full chapter (17) to the causes of the contraction of the money supply inthe early 1930s, the role of the Federal Reserve in that experience, and the ongoing de-bate over whether monetary policy is rendered impotent in an environment of deflation.
Unique Chapter on Inflation Targeting. In recent years, inflation rates in in-dustrial nations have declined to the lowest levels in half a century. This reduction isdue, in part, to the fact that more than 20 nations have implemented inflation target-ing monetary policy regimes. We include a full chapter (25) that analyzes the cases forand against inflation targeting and looks at the contentious issue of whether the FederalReserve should implement such a regime.
This work contains a number of features designed to enhance the effectiveness of thisbook as a teaching instrument.
• Part Openers for each of the six sections of the text outline the importance ofand relationships among the topics covered in each section.

Preface xxi
The author is indebted to many individuals who have contributed substantially to thedevelopment of this project over the past three years. Foremost among those to whomI am indebted is Professor Alan Grant of Eastern Illinois University, whose contributionto this project over the years has been enormous. Al carefully critiqued two versions ofevery chapter, contributed numerous end-of-chapter Study Questions, pointed me torelevant journal articles, and is responsible for chapter 10 on banking structure and reg-ulation. In addition, he contributed hundreds of questions for the Test Bank, wrote theStudy Guide for this text, and has generally been a tremendous colleague in the devel-opment of this entire project. Professor Robert Guell of Indiana State University did ameticulous job of putting together the PowerPoint and Instructor’s Manual ancillariesfor this project. Professor Ronnie J. Phillips of Colorado State University reviewed theentire manuscript and provided a multitude of constructive suggestions. AmandaFreeman, a Ph.D. student at Kansas State University and a money and banking instruc-tor, made a major contribution to this project during the final year of its development.In addition to carefully proofreading and critiquing each chapter, she checked all URLsand references for accuracy, put together the Test Bank, and served as an extremely ableand invaluable resource for the author. Professor Mark Wohar of the University ofNebraska–Omaha, through numerous phone calls and e-mails, provided importantprodding and encouragement to bring this work to fruition. My colleague and a veteranmoney and banking teacher, Michael Oldfather, critiqued several chapters and also con-tributed by sharing his extensive knowledge of the business, structure, and regulationof commercial banking. Numerous conversations with colleagues Patrick Gormely,Wayne Nafziger, and Roger Trenary also added value to the final product. Many gradu-ate and undergraduate students at KSU contributed in a variety of ways. Jared Wirthsand Jared Dressman are responsible for developing the multitude of time-series graphsin this book. Boaz Nandwa, Daniel Nibarger, Shane Sanders, Jamie Stamatson, andDanhua Wu also contributed in such ways as checking references, contributing studyquestions, supplying the author with pertinent literature, and reading the page proofs.Kristi Smith and Susan Koch helped with manuscript preparation and typing of tables.
I am greatly indebted to numerous individuals at Thomson Learning/South-Western. At the top of the list is my Senior Development Editor, Trish Taylor. Trish ex-pertly handled the myriad challenges of coordinating the development of the text withthat of the Study Guide, Instructor’s Manual, Test Bank, PowerPoint slides, and otherancillary materials. I am also indebted to Trish for being a stickler about efficiency inwriting style, for prodding me to revise the manuscript conscientiously in response toconstructive suggestions from reviewers, and for calmly dealing with an author of rathervolatile temperament. I am indebted to production editor Cliff Kallemeyn for coollydealing with numerous glitches and roadblocks, carefully implementing needed cor-rections, and delivering the end product in excellent condition. I am grateful to TippyMcIntosh for the outstanding design of this book, including the spectacular cover.Senior Technology Product Editor Peggy Buskey brought her expertise to bear in cre-ating a superior package of electronic supplements. Senior Acquisitions editor MikeWorls and Senior Marketing Manager John Carey supplied important encouragementand counsel during the development of this work.
Most of all, I am grateful to my wife (Sally), daughter (Elizabeth Thomas Horn), andmother (Marianne Moon Thomas) for their encouragement, support, and loyalty.
