Money Money = any item that is generally
accepted as a means of payment for goods and services
Common functions of money: medium of exchange unit of account store of value standard of deferred payment

Evolution of money Commodity money Token money Fiat money (legal tender) Electronic transfers Gresham’s law – “bad money
drives out good”

Monetary aggregates: M1 M1 = those items that serve as a
medium of exchange M1 = currency (including coins) +
checkable deposits + traveler’s checks
Note that credit does not serve as money

M2 and M3 M2 = M1 + savings deposits +
small denomination (< $100,000) time deposits + retail money market mutual fund balances
M3 = M2 + repurchase agreements + Eurodollar deposits

Global money Sales among industrialized countries usually
conducted in the currency of the seller Sales between industrialized and developing
countries are usually conducted in the developed country’s currency
Currencies of industrialized countries dominate international transactions
International reserve currency – used to settle debts between governments (dollar, pound, euro, and yen are most commonly used)

Composite currencies ECU – introduced in 1979 – value
tied to weighted average of national currencies of EU – (replaced by the euro)
Special drawing rights – average of the values of the dollar, euro, yen, and pound – created in 1970 by the IMF

Banking Commercial banks – traditionally
offered only checking accounts Thrift institutions – traditionally
offered only savings accounts Financial deregulation in the 1980s
eliminated the last remaining distinctions between commercial banks and thrift institutions

Financial intermediation Direct finance – loans made directly from lenders
to borrowers Financial intermediation – banks (and other
financial intermediaries) accept deposits and make loans
Financial intermediaries receive profits fr5om the difference in interest rates on loans and deposits
Reasons for financial intermediation: economies of scale lowers transaction costs Savers and borrowers have different time
horizons

U.S. Banking Dual banking system: national and
state chartered banks Multistate branching is a recent
phenomenon

Bank failures High failure rates in the 1930s and
1980s Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC) – created in 1933 – insures deposits up to $100,000
![Page 12: Eco 200 – Principles of Macroeconomics Chapter 13: Money and Banking.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022072014/56649e865503460f94b887e9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
International banking Eurocurrency markets – deposits held in
currencies that differ from the currency of the country in which the bank is located
Eurocurrency deposits are not subject to U.S. banking laws and offer higher interest rates (along with higher risk)
International banking facilities – since 1981- bookkeeping systems that allow U.S. banks to participate in offshore banking activities

Fractional reserve banking system Banks create money whenever a loan is
issued. Reserve requirement (set by Federal Reserve
Board) = fraction of deposits that must be held as reserves
Reserves = vault cash + deposits at Fed Banks may loan their excess reserves Required reserves = reserve requirement x
deposits Excess reserves = total reserves – required
reserves

T-accounts and deposit multiplier
Initial assumptions: no currency holdings no excess reserves
Deposit expansion multiplier = 1/reserve requirement (shown on board)
Actual expansion is less due to: excess reserve holdings currency holdings
