• given problems with simple money multiplier,
• construct better multiplier• cash holdings• excess reserves holdings
• based on M1 = C + D

• how $1 change in MB will affect MS:
M = m x MB• how $1 change in MB will affect MS:
M = m x MB
rD = required reserve ratio
c = ratio of currency to deposits
e = ratio of excess reserves to deposits
m =
rD + e + c
1 + c
exampleexampleexampleexamplerD = .10 C = $400 billion D = $800 billion
ER = $.8 billion or $800 million
= 2.5
$1 increase in MB, $2.5 increase in M
m =.10 + .001 + .5
1 + .5

• higher reserve requirement• fewer excess reserves to lend• smaller amount of deposit creation
• higher reserve requirement• fewer excess reserves to lend• smaller amount of deposit creation

• rD was .10
• suppose it rises to .20

• higher c• currency does not expand like deposits• smaller amount of deposit creation
• higher c• currency does not expand like deposits• smaller amount of deposit creation

• higher e• banks hold more ER, lend less• smaller amount of deposit creation

Factors affecting MBFactors affecting MBFactors affecting MBFactors affecting MB
• MB = MBn + DL• MBn is nonborrowed MB
-- open market purchase will
increase MBn
-- open market sale will
decrease MBn• increase MBn will increase M
• MB = MBn + DL• MBn is nonborrowed MB
-- open market purchase will
increase MBn
-- open market sale will
decrease MBn• increase MBn will increase M
• DL is discount loans
-- increase as banks borrow from
the Fed
-- increase as spread between
market interest rate and discount

• big contraction in M1
• big increases in c, e• depositors withdrew cash• banks increase ER due to increase
in deposit outflow
• big contraction in M1
• big increases in c, e• depositors withdrew cash• banks increase ER due to increase
in deposit outflow
• as c and e rise,• money multiplier declines• M1 declines by 25% from 1930-33
