Transcription de la présentation

  1. Meaning of Money • What is it? • Money (or the “money supply”): anything that is generally accepted in payment for goods or services or in the repayment of debts. • A rather broad definition

  2. Meaning of Money (cont’d) • Money (a stock concept) is different from: • Wealth: the total collection of pieces of property that serve to store value • Income: flow of earnings per unit of time (a flow concept)

  3. Functions of Money • Medium of Exchange: • Eliminates the trouble of finding a double coincidence of needs (reduces transaction costs) • Promotes specialization • A medium of exchange must • be easily standardized • be widely accepted • be divisible • be easy to carry • not deteriorate quickly

  4. Functions of Money (cont’d) • Unit of Account: • used to measure value in the economy • reduces transaction costs • Store of Value: • used to save purchasing power over time. • other assets also serve this function • Money is the most liquid of all assets but loses value during inflation

  5. Evolution of the Payments System • Commodity Money: valuable, easily standardized and divisible commodities (e.g. precious metals, cigarettes). • Fiat Money: paper money decreed by governments as legal tender.

  6. Evolution of the Payments System (cont’d) • Checks: an instruction to your bank to transfer money from your account • Electronic Payment (e.g. online bill pay). • E-Money (electronic money): • Debit card • Stored-value card (smart card) • E-cash

  7. Measuring Money • How do we measure money? Which particular assets can be called “money”? • Construct monetary aggregates using the concept of liquidity: • M1 (most liquid assets) = currency + traveler’s checks + demand deposits + other checkable deposits.

  8. Measuring Money (cont’d) • M2 (adds to M1 other assets that are not so liquid) = M1 + small denomination time deposits + savings deposits and money market deposit accounts + money market mutual fund shares.

  9. M1 vs. M2 • Does it matter which measure of money is considered? • M1 and M2 can move in different directions in the short run (see figure). • Conclusion: the choice of monetary aggregate is important for policymakers.
