Money Market (03/23/17)


Money Market
(Supply and Demand for money)



 Demand for money has an inverse relationship between nominal interest rates and the quantity of money demanded.

Money Demand Shifter 


  1. Changes in price level
  2. Changed in income
  3. Changes in taxation that affects investment 
Increasing the Money Supply 

Increase money supply > decrease interest rate > increase investment > increase AD

How do banks create/make money

Demand deposits are created through the Fractional reserve system.
  • It is the process in which banks hold a small portion of their deposits in reserve, and they loan out the excess
  • Banks keep cash on hand (required reserves) to meet depositors needs
  • Banks must keep reserve deposits in their volts or at their district FED
  • Total reserve (total funds held by a bank) =
Required reserves + excess reserves
  • Banks can only lend out their excess reserves
