 The Financial Sector
 The economy consists of the government, central bank,
commercial banks, firms, and households

 The government takes loans only from the central bank,

The Model for a and the central bank in its turn lends only to the
government
Closed  Only firms take loans from the commercial banks and
Economy commercial banks receive deposits only from the
households who hold their entire wealth or savings in
the form of bank deposits and currency
 Households are the ultimate lenders and do not take
any loans
 The source of supply of new commercial bank loans is
the new deposits they receive
 The new deposits in turn come from the part of the
saving that households hold in the form of bank
deposits.

 We assume for the present that the households hold all


Supply of Loans their saving in the form of bank deposits and it is the
only source of bank deposits
 Households’ saving is given by

 Supply of new commercial bank loans denoted LS is,


therefore, given by
 We assume that in the real sector aggregate output is
determined by aggregate final demand for goods and
services.
 The price level is fixed, and it is taken to be unity.
 Aggregate planned consumption demand is given by

 We assume for simplicity that consumption is financed


from income and not with loans.
The Real Sector  Aggregate planned investment demand is given by

 Investment is financed entirely with loans taken from


commercial banks.
 Investment is the only source of demand for commercial
bank credit
 Hence, the credit market is in equilibrium when
 Government consumption, G, is, as we assume here,
financed with loans from the central bank.
 Thus,
 dLgc denotes new loans taken from the central bank by
the government.
 We assume for simplicity that the increase in the stock
The Real Sector of high-powered
high money denoted dH is solely due to the
new loans taken by the government from the central
bank.

processes of generation of money, credit, spending,
income, and saving are closely interwoven
 It shows how the creation of high-powered

credit by the central bank leads to spending on goods

Expenditure Financed  This expenditure in turn generates income
by Borrowing from the  The saving made out of that income leads to the
Central Bank creation of more money and credit, which leads to
another round of generation of spending, income, and
saving, and this process goes on until the additional
income that is generated in each round eventually falls
to zero.
 To examine the impact of monetary policy, we
consider a cut in rc by the central bank
 As rc is cut, the banks are able to extend new
loans out of their outstanding deposit
 The excess supply in the loan market at the initial
equilibrium r will drive down r until I goes up
 This will raise Y
Monetary Policy
 This process of expansion will continue until the
additional saving generated in each successive
round eventually falls to zero
 Here, people want to hold all their saving in the form of
bank deposits or money
 Saving constitutes the only source of demand for new
money
 We have

The Case of No
 Investors’ expectations regarding the future prospect of
Credit Rationing their businesses, which we denote by E
 We assume as before that government finances G by
borrowing from the central bank.

 The credit market equilibrium is given by


 b denotes banks’ borrowing from the central bank
 Given our assumptions, there are two sources of
generation of high-powered
high money in this model,
namely G and b

The Case of No
 In this model, people do not hold currency
Credit Rationing  Therefore, the money supply in this model, i.e., the
amount of money in the hands of the people is given by
the stock of bank deposits only

 The increase in money supply (denoted m) is given by


 The model consists of these four key equations, in four endogenous variables
Y, b, dH/P

 Comparative static exercises
 An Improvement in the Expectations (Animal Spirits) of the Investors
 Following an increase in E, aggregate investment rises
 Investors’ demand for new bank credit rises
 Banks extend this additional loan by borrowing from the central bank.

The Case of No  Hence, in the first round b increases


 The increase in investment will set off the multiplier process and raise Y
Credit Rationing  This increase in Y will raise saving and bank deposit
 This additional bank deposit will enable the banks to extend additional loan
 The banks will extend this loan to the central bank.
 Thus, the stock of high-powered
high money in the economy rises by the net
increase in b
 From the text books of macroeconomics, we know that when there is no
currency in circulation, money multiplier is 1/ρ.
1/ Here also, the money
multiplier is the same
 An Increase in G Financed by Borrowing from the
Central Bank
 Following an increase in G financed by borrowing from
the central bank, the multiplier process sets into motion
and Y increases
 This increase in Y raises saving and bank deposit
 Hence, banks can extend new loans which they have to
The Case of No lend to the central bank
Credit Rationing  b falls
 On the asset side, net credit to government rises while
domestic credit falls
 Net total asset rises
 On the liabilities side, banks reserve increases

Bonds directly buy bonds, but banks do.
