Key Principles

-A single bank can create money, through loans, by the amount of ER.
-The banking system as a whole can create money by a multiple (deposition money multiplier) of the initial ER.

New/ Existing Money
Bank Reserves
Immediate change in Money Supply
Initial Deposit Cash
(Money created in the banking system only)
Existing Money
Increase
No, because only the composition of money changes (cash to currency)
FED purchase of a bond from the public
New Money
Increase
Yes, because money coming from the FED puts new money in the circulation
Bank Purchase of a bond from the public
New Money
Increase
Yes, because money coming from reserves puts new money in circulation.


Factors that weaken the effectiveness of the deposit multiplier can be:
 1) if the banks fail to loan out all of their excess reserves.

 2) if bank customers take their loans in cash rather than in a new checking account deposits it creates a cash or currency drain

The money market (Supply and Demand for money) 
-The Demand for money has an inverse relationship between nominal interest rates and the quantity of money demanded.

  1. Very great notes, I'm glad that you included a chart that explained the relationship between money, bank reserves, and immediate change in the supply of money when it comes to whether of not cash it is the initial deposit cash, Fed purchasing a bond, or the Bank purchasing the bond. Since I did not have this chart on my notes, I learned that only deposited cash is existing money and that it does not change the money supply since only the composition of money changes while bank/Fed purchasing a bond is new money.
