Book excerpt: This essay sheds light on what is the money multiplier effect, elucidates how the money multiplier effect is calculated, explicates how the economy is affected by the money multiplier effect in the economy, and expounds upon the problems with the money multiplier effect in the economy. The money multiplier effect is pervasive in the economy. “The money multiplier effect reflects the amplified change in the money supply that ultimately results from the injection into the banking system of additional reserves. The deposit multiplier provides the basis for the money multiplier effect, but the money multiplier value is ultimately less, due to excess reserves, savings, and conversions to cash by consumers”. Banks are able to lend out the vast majority of the fiat currency that they receive from the cash deposits of customers and companies. Cash deposits are not limited to being in the form of tangible fiat currency notes, but can also encompass checks and money transfers. As of September of 2024, the reserve requirement ratio is 0% which allows banks to have autonomy to lend out all the fiat currency that they receive from the cash deposits of customers and companies if they choose to do so. By issuing loans, credit cards, and lines of credit, banks can generate a substantial amount of interest revenue. As of September of 2024, the highest annual percentage rate on a credit card is 36%. As of September of 2024, the highest mortgage interest rate is 6.73% on a 30-year jumbo mortgage loan. As of September of 2024, the highest personal loan annual percentage rate is 36%. The lower the credit score a person, has the higher likelihood there is that he will be disqualified for a lower interest rate on a loan, credit card, and line of credit. A person can increase his probability to qualify for a lower interest rate on a loan, credit card, and line of credit by having a super-prime credit score of 720 or higher. By having a lower interest rate on a loan, credit card, and line of credit, a person can wind up paying significantly less in recurring interest fees than a person who has a high interest rate on a loan, credit card, and line of credit. The money multiplier effect is able to determine the supply of fiat currency in the economy. The money multiplier effect also has bearing on impacting monetary policy. It is eminently undesirable in all facets to be laden with debt. It can be eminently expensive for an indebted person to service debts by making monthly payments towards outstanding debt balances. When an indebted person pays recurring late fees and recurring interest fees on outstanding debts, then he does not receive anything for doing so. A formula can be utilized to calculate the money multiplier effect. The formula for the money multiplier effect encompasses the following: “the money multiplier effect = change in income/change in spending”. When people who work real private sector jobs based on voluntary demand earn more fiat currency, they then have a proclivity to expend it on purchasing additional products and procuring additional services. When people who work real private sector jobs based on voluntary demand earn more fiat currency, then their capability to stimulate the economy is further augmented. When people who work real private sector jobs based on voluntary demand expend fiat currency on purchasing additional products and procuring additional services, then this can elicit a ripple effect in the economy. When people who work real private sector jobs based on voluntary demand expend fiat currency on purchasing additional products and procuring additional services, then the companies who they purchase additional products from and procure additional services from have additional fiat currency to expend in the economy. By amplifying their revenue, companies are able to have additional fiat currency to expend on research and develop effects and on pursuing expansion opportunities. The economy is affected by the money multiplier effect in a plethora of disparate ways. The money multiplier effect is able to amplify the supply of fiat currency in the economy without it resulting in a significant increase in economic output. Most people who receive loans, credit cards, and lines of credit do not work in entrepreneurial capacities. The money multiplier effect is able to amplify the supply of fiat currency in the economy and thereby render an economy more susceptible to succumbing to inflation.

Book excerpt: The multiplier is a central concept in Keynesian and post-Keynesian economics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the height of the Great Depression a number of leading U.S. economists advanced a proposal for monetary reform that became known as the Chicago Plan. It envisaged the separation of the monetary and credit functions of the banking system, by requiring 100% reserve backing for deposits. Irving Fisher (1936) claimed the following advantages for this plan: (1) Much better control of a major source of business cycle fluctuations, sudden increases and contractions of bank credit and of the supply of bank-created money. (2) Complete elimination of bank runs. (3) Dramatic reduction of the (net) public debt. (4) Dramatic reduction of private debt, as money creation no longer requires simultaneous debt creation. We study these claims by embedding a comprehensive and carefully calibrated model of the banking system in a DSGE model of the U.S. economy. We find support for all four of Fisher's claims. Furthermore, output gains approach 10 percent, and steady state inflation can drop to zero without posing problems for the conduct of monetary policy.

This book was released on 2015-05-04 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper provides new evidence of the macroeconomic effects of public investment in advanced economies. Using public investment forecast errors to identify the causal effect of government investment in a sample of 17 OECD economies since 1985 and model simulations, the paper finds that increased public investment raises output, both in the short term and in the long term, crowds in private investment, and reduces unemployment. Several factors shape the macroeconomic effects of public investment. When there is economic slack and monetary accommodation, demand effects are stronger, and the public-debt-to-GDP ratio may actually decline. Public investment is also more effective in boosting output in countries with higher public investment efficiency and when it is financed by issuing debt.

Download or read book Fiscal Policy after the Financial Crisis written by Alberto Alesina and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-06-25 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent recession has brought fiscal policy back to the forefront, with economists and policy makers struggling to reach a consensus on highly political issues like tax rates and government spending. At the heart of the debate are fiscal multipliers, whose size and sensitivity determine the power of such policies to influence economic growth. Fiscal Policy after the Financial Crisis focuses on the effects of fiscal stimuli and increased government spending, with contributions that consider the measurement of the multiplier effect and its size. In the face of uncertainty over the sustainability of recent economic policies, further contributions to this volume discuss the merits of alternate means of debt reduction through decreased government spending or increased taxes. A final section examines how the short-term political forces driving fiscal policy might be balanced with aspects of the long-term planning governing monetary policy. A direct intervention in timely debates, Fiscal Policy after the Financial Crisis offers invaluable insights about various responses to the recent financial crisis.

This book was released on 2002-12 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper reviews the theoretical and empirical literature on the effectiveness of fiscal policy.

This book was released on 2016-04 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Maynard Keynes is the great British economist of the twentieth century whose hugely influential work The General Theory of Employment, Interest and * is undoubtedly the century's most important book on economics--strongly influencing economic theory and practice, particularly with regard to the role of government in stimulating and regulating a nation's economic life. Keynes's work has undergone significant revaluation in recent years, and "Keynesian" views which have been widely defended for so long are now perceived as at odds with Keynes's own thinking. Recent scholarship and research has demonstrated considerable rivalry and controversy concerning the proper interpretation of Keynes's works, such that recourse to the original text is all the more important. Although considered by a few critics that the sentence structures of the book are quite incomprehensible and almost unbearable to read, the book is an essential reading for all those who desire a basic education in economics. The key to understanding Keynes is the notion that at particular times in the business cycle, an economy can become over-productive (or under-consumptive) and thus, a vicious spiral is begun that results in massive layoffs and cuts in production as businesses attempt to equilibrate aggregate supply and demand. Thus, full employment is only one of many or multiple macro equilibria. If an economy reaches an underemployment equilibrium, something is necessary to boost or stimulate demand to produce full employment. This something could be business investment but because of the logic and individualist nature of investment decisions, it is unlikely to rapidly restore full employment. Keynes logically seizes upon the public budget and government expenditures as the quickest way to restore full employment. Borrowing the * to finance the deficit from private households and businesses is a quick, direct way to restore full employment while at the same time, redirecting or siphoning

This book was released on 2013-02-06 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do changes in monetary policy affect inflation and output in the East African Community (EAC)? We find that (i) Monetary Transmission Mechanism (MTM) tends to be generally weak when using standard statistical inferences, but somewhat strong when using non-standard inference methods; (ii) when MTM is present, the precise transmission channels and their importance differ across countries; and (iii) reserve money and the policy rate, two frequently used instruments of monetary policy, sometimes move in directions that exert offsetting expansionary and contractionary effects on inflation—posing challenges to harmonization of monetary policies across the EAC and transition to a future East African Monetary Union. The paper offers some suggestions for strengthening the MTM in the EAC.

Download or read book Central Bank Balances and Reserve Requirements written by Mr.Simon Gray and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most central banks oblige depository institutions to hold minimum reserves against their liabilities, predominantly in the form of balances at the central bank. The role of these reserve requirements has evolved significantly over time. The overlay of changing purposes and practices has the result that it is not always fully clear what the current purpose of reserve requirements is, and this necessarily complicates thinking about how a reserve regime should be structured. This paper describes three main purposes for reserve requirements - prudential, monetary control and liquidity management - and suggests best practice for the structure of a reserves regime. Finally, the paper illustrates current practices using a 2010 IMF survey of 121 central banks.
