Money creation formula

3-27-17

Money creation formula


  • A single bank can create $ by amount of its ER
  • banking system as a whole can create $ by a multiple of excess reserves
  • MM X ER = Expansion of $
  • Money multiplier= 1/RR
News vs Existing $
  • Initial deposit in a bank comes from the FED/bank purchase of a bond or other $ out of circulation (buried treasure), the deposit immediately increases the $ supply
  • deposit then leads to further expansion of $ supply through the $ creation process
  • Total change in MS if initial deposit is new $ = Deposit + $ created by banking system 
  • if deposit in a bank is existing $ (already counted in M1), depositing the amount does NOT change the MS immediately cs it already counted
  • Existing currency deposited into a checking account changes only the composition of the $ supply from coins.paper $ to checking account depositing
  • total change in the MS if deposit is existing $ = banking system created $ only
