...Quantity theory of money (QTM) – suggests that the demand for real money balances is proportional to income. Quantity eqn.: MxV=PxT where M – money supply; V – velocity of money: the # of times a PhP bill changes hands for time, t; P – price level; and, T – transactions. 1 13/10/2015 Income (Y) version of the QE: MxV=PxY ◦ where V: the # of times a PhP bill enters someone’s income; ◦ P x Y: nominal GDP. This version of the QTM is used since it is difficult to observe transactions. Money Demand & the Quantity Theory of Money: uses real money balances to measure the purchasing power of the stock of money; the money demand function is like the demand function for a particular good, i.e. the convenience of holding real money balances; 2 13/10/2015 Money demand function below shows that the quantity of real money balances demanded is proportional to real income; M P D kY There is an inverse relationship between V & k: M x V = P x Y if V=1/k This implies that when: (M/P)D is high, k is large, V is small: money changes hands less; OR, (M/P)D is low, k is small, V is large: money changes hands more. 3 13/10/2015 Velocity (V) & the QTM: M x V = P x Y If V, is assumed to be constant, QTM explains what determines nominal GDP; A change in M leads to a change in nominal GDP, thus, if V is fixed, the quantity of money determines the...

...2013 The Control of Money Supply & Demand of Money Today, we live in a world of scarcity where resources are limited and the choices one make has become so vital the economy. In the US, the government, the Federal Reserve, have control on the effect of supply and demand and money growth. As both supply and demand for money each depend on the interest rate, we specifically look at how inflation effects supply and demand on money. There are differences of money supply and demand for money; where it comes from and how it’s demanded. Given there are many variables that can effect money supply and the demand for money, we will focus on where it comes from and how inflation effects it. In the book, The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money by John Maynard Keynes, he explains liquidity factors in economic interest rates that balance supply and demand for money. There are two different types of interest rate that help explain, in monetary terms, how much borrowers pay for borrowed funds. Generally, during a period of inflation where prices increase, nominal interest can be misunderstood. As the nominal interest rate rises or falls, it can be misleading as to how much the borrower is truly borrowing and how much the lender is receiving. When the borrower repays the principle loan, they lender may not be able to purchase as much goods and services, then when originally loaned. This is because when the loan was initially issued the money was worth more than...

...The first theories to hold cash is to avoid the cost of being short liquid assets (Baumol, 1952) (Tobin, 1956) (Meltzer, 1963) (Miller and Orr, 1966) and Karni (1973). Besides the fact that the cash-to-assets ratio for U.S. firms almost doubled (Bates, Kahle & Stulz, 2009) we think that U.S. firms do not hold too much cash. Firms hold cash for different motives. According to Keynes (1936) these motives are: a transaction motive, precautionary motive and speculative motive. Based upon these three motives we explain why U.S. firms hold a lot of cash. The first motive for holding cash is the precautionary motive (Keynes, 1936), which tells us that firms hold extra cash to be prepared for sudden uncertainty - a risk which cannot be hedged. Bates et al. (2009) states that an increase in idiosyncratic risk leads to an increase in cash flow volatility. This volatility increase evolves in an increase in the volatility of unhedgeable risk. A reaction to unhedgeable risk is to hold more cash. You want to have some savings when you have to do unexpected expenses. Research (Bartram, 2009) shows that U.S. firms are more exposed to idiosyncratic risk than foreign firms. This is due to several country characteristics. Because U.S. firms face larger exposures to idiosyncratic risks than foreign firms do, they will have more cash holdings. Moreover, there has been an increase in earnings volatility for U.S. firms over the past decades (Boileau and Moyen, 2012). This increase in volatility...

...1. Introduction Money demand is an important element in macroeconomic analysis especially in constructing monetary policy. The demand of money is the quantities of money that people willing and able to hold at alternative interest rates, ceteris paribus. There are several models of money demand used to explain why individuals and businesses hold money balances like cash and checkable deposits. Those models of money demand shows how do the behavior of individuals and businesses causes the fluctuations of money balances in the economy. According to the liquidity preference theory by economist, John Maynard Keynes, he determined that there are three primary motives that people holding money.The first motive is transaction motive which explained that people holding money and used it to buying things. In this motive, money demand depends on size of income, spending habit and slightly affected by interest rate. The second motive for holding money is for precautionary motive which means that people hold money in anticipation of wishing to make huge transactions in the future. People will keep money on hand just in case to overcome unforeseen emergency. The demand of money in order for precautionary motive is depend on size of income, nature of person and farsightedness. The last is speculative motive which people will like to keep money in the liquid form and invested in securities when the interest rate are rises thus it can be said that hold wealth as money to store value. This motive...

...COURSE UNIT: EC223 MONEY AND BANKING DATE OF SUBMISSION: NAME: KALULE RICHARD REG NO: 10/U/66/BEK/GV SIGNATURE Money can be defined as any thing that is generally acceptable as a medium of exchange. It can also be defined as a third commodity that is introduced between two other commodities to facilitate exchange. Money can therefore be looked at as an instrument that helps in fulfillment of contracts, discharge of debts and as a standard of deferred payment. Due to the obligation of people to accept money in the discharge of debts, money is often referred to as legal tender. The demand for money can be defined as the desire by the public to hold cash other than investing it in interest earning assets. it can also de defined as the desire by the individuals and businesses to hold their incomes partly in cash and partly in form of assets. The question of why do people demand for money has been a great topic of discussion among the economists from the days of the classical economists to the monetarists but like many other economic phenomena, no common consensus has ever been reached. Unlike the goods and services, money has no intrinsic value that is to say does not provide direct utility. Instead, the existence of money helps in improving the transactions where we obtain goods that satisfy human wants. Money is therefore useful because it provides an improved alternative in transactions technology over barter trade. The demand for money arises from the two...

...given time, this is so as to avoid banking instability as attested to during the banking crisis of 2008. Commercial banks keep a tiny portion of their demand deposits as reserves, and this is informed by the assertion that depositors seldom withdraw all their demand deposits at a given time, unless there is a bank run of course. This system of fractional reserve aid banks in the creation of demand deposits, and this demand deposits are above what the bank has as reserves. How cash has evolved from commodity money to the current fiat money system. Under the commodity money system standard money had abstract value. The measurement of money was defined as the aggregate quantity of precious metals coins of a specific quality i.e. weight and design ,circulating within the borders of a country. Sources of money creation. 1).Minting of new coins can be facilitated by: -Recently extracted gold. -Melting existing from jewellery or ornaments. 2).The balance of payment surplus resulting from foreigners demand for local goods bring s in foreign gold. Countries are relatively not equally endowed in gold deposits, and thus countries with no gold deposits would rely on the melting of jewellery brought to the smelters by the rich of the country this proved inefficient during economic growth era. Countries had to stimulate demand of their exports and thus a surplus balance of payments account. This brought much needed gold coins or bullion in to the country. The very same way that...

...would remove coins from circulation and sell them for their metallic content. M2 = M1 + noncheckable savings deposits + money market deposit accounts + small time deposits + money market mutual fund balances. M3 = M2 + large time deposits (those of $100,000 or more). Near-monies are components of M2 and M3 not included in M1. M3 is distinguished from M2 by large time deposits (certificates of deposits). 5.) There is no concrete backing to the money supply in the United States. Paper money, which has no intrinsic value, has value only because people are willing to accept it in exchange for goods and services, including their labor services as employees. And people are willing to accept paper as money because they know that everyone else is also willing to do so. If the monetary authorities were issuing new banknotes at a rate far in excess of available output, the acceptability of paper money would diminish. People would start to worry about whether the banknotes would be worth much after they received them. Checks are part of the money supply and are not legal tender, but people accept them willingly from people believed trustworthy. The value or purchasing power of money is inversely related to the price level. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Fed) is responsible for managing the United States’ money supply so that money retains its value. 6.)

...Money and price level *Recall that regarding the money supply, the Central Bank has tools that enables it to control money supply ( the capability of Commercial Banks to create deposits), most important tools: Open market operations by CB selling or buying governmental bonds, changing the discount rate which is the interest rate on loans from CB to commercial banks & changing the legal reserve ratio. So if the CB seeks to adopt a loose monetary policy it can decrease the discount rate, decrease the legal reserve ratio,& go through an open market operation by buying gov. bonds.( & vice versa if CB seeks to adopt a tight monetary policy). *In addition to the public`s demand for money for TRANSACTIONS that is affected by the general price level & real GDP..., do speculators demand money? Yes, as they try to achieve profits from the fluctuations in the market price of bonds, ie they buy bonds, when their market price is low & sell bonds ,when their market price is high, thus achieving profits. However, what determines the market price of bonds? the following example helps you to understand: If a bond promises to pay $100 ONE YEAR from NOW, & the interest rate was5%, WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF MONEY YOU ARE READY TO PAY NOW for that bond?ie what is its market price? We have to calculate the PRESENT VALUE of the $100 by using the following equation: Present value = Return / 1+5% 95.24 = 100 / 1.05 What do you notice? We notice...

...these schools differ in their belief of what policies are best suited to attain full employment in the economy. Keynesians tend to favour demand side policies and are more prone to intervene in the market and therefore prefer to use fiscal policy whilst monetarists believe adjustments in money supply is more appropriate in stabilising the market ,therefore preferring monetary policy. In this essay I will discuss the views of Keynesians and monetarists regarding the effectiveness of monetary and fiscal policies in controlling aggregate demand through the IS-LM framework. I will first provide a brief description of the curves explaining their formation and what they represent and then I will go on to examine monetary and fiscal policy within the IS-LM framework. Finally, I will examine the views of monetarist and Keynesians regarding the effectiveness of both policies in raising the level of national l income and also consider the extreme cases. IS-LM framework The IS-LM model was initially developed by John Hicks in 1937 but was made popular in 1949 by Hansen in order ‘to provide a framework for analyzing the factors determining the level of aggregate demand’. The IS-LM model is a short run model of the determination of output. It shows the unique combination of income and interest rates that lead to an equilibrium in both the goods and money market at the same time (Begg, 2008). The IS-LM model is presented on the diagram below. The IS (Investment and saving) curve represents...
