Money Supply

Monetary based model of money supply through the principle of money multiplier (m).

Money multiplier (m) is the ratio of the aggregate stock of money available in the economy (M) to the size of high powered money (H).
It shows that the aggregate stock of money supply available in the economy is the product of the value of money multiplier times the size of high powered money.
There are many money multiplier models developed by different economists at different time period like:
-          General model (IMF model)
-          Cagan model
-          Friedman model
-          Luckett model
-          Pesek and saving model
-          Jerry & Jordan model and so on…
Out of them Jerry & Jordan model is taken as the best model of money multiplier that has 7 equations in hand as given as:
M = C + DD + OD ---------------------- equation (1)
H = C + R + OD ------------------------- equation (2)
R = r + D --------------------------------- equation (3)
D = DD + TD ---------------------------- equation (4)
K = C/DD or C = K.DD ---------------- equation (5)
t = TD/DD or TD = t.DD ------------- equation (6)
d = OD/DD or OD = d.DD ----------- equation (7)
Where,
M = aggregate money supply in economy
C = currency held by people in their hands/pockets
DD = demand deposits of public with BFIs (Banking and Financial Institutions)
OD = other deposits of public with central bank (government, government enterprises, foreign offices)
H = high powered money
R = total cash reserves of BFIs
r = cash reserve ratio in weightage average
D = total deposits of public with BFIs
TD = time deposits of public with BFIs
K = currency ratio
t = time deposit ratio
d = other deposit ratio
Now,
Substituting the equation (6) into equation (4) we get,
D = DD + t.DD
Or, D = DD (1 + t) --------------------- equation (8)
Substituting the equation (8) into equation (9) we get,
R = r.DD (1 + t) ----------------------- equation (9)
Substituting the equation (5), (7) and (9) into equation (2) we get,
H = K.DD + r.DD (1 + t) + d.DD
Or, H = DD {K + r (1 + t) +d}
Therefore, DD = H/ {K + r (1 + t) +d} --------------------- equation (10)
Substituting the equation (5) and (7) into (1) we get,
M = K.DD + DD + d.DD
Or, M = DD {K + 1 + d} ----------------------- equation (11)
At last, substituting the equation (10) into equation (11) we get,

Where, 
which is known as the money multiplier.


Further, it shows that M is the positive function of both the value of m and H. hence, as the value of m or H increases, the value of M also increases and vice versa. Therefore the seen or visible variables in money multiplier models like K, d, r, t and H are known as the proximate determinants of money supply.
Here, the value of m is negatively affected by the value of K, t, d and r. Besides, the value of H, r, K, t and d are affected by many unseen factors which are known as ultimate determinants of money supply like:
-          H is affected by
o   NFAR (Net foreign asset reserve of the central bank)
o   NCG
o   CGEs
o   BFIs
o   CPS especially the employees of central bank
o   NML (Non-monetary liability)
o   OPAs used by the central bank
-          r is affected by
o   Availability of liquidity in financial market
o   Condition of money and capital markets
o   Effectiveness of monetary policy
-          K, t and d are affected by
o   Level of income and frequency of income received by people
o   Consumption and saving behaviors of people
o   Banking behavior of people
o   Development of banking system and expansion of banks
o   Inflation rate
o   Interest rate on deposits at banks

A book review “ Karodau Kasturi”

As being a Nepali, I am so very fascinated with the Nepali literature. So, this year (2075) I made a New Year Resolution to read at least a book (Nepali) every month. I finished reading Khabuj by Benyamin ( translated by Dinesh Kafle), Seto Dharti by Amar Neupani, China Harayeko Manche and Hari Bahadur by Haribansa Acharya, Sallipir,Yaar,Lu and Chocolate by Nayan Raj Pandey, Juneli by Brajesh, Juino by Binita Baral, Summer Love, Monsoon and Katha ki Patra by Subin Bhattari, Karnali Blues and Firfire by Buddhi Sagar, Maha ko Ma by Madan Krishna Shrestha and so on. Last weekend I finished reading “Karodau Kasturi” by Madan Puraskar winning Author ‘Amar Neupane’. Though this book was with me from past few years, I could not manage time to read this one. So, last Friday I started reading this book. Karodau Kasturi is based on actor/comedian Haribansa Acharya. This novel is all of imagination, not the true story though, but reflects the truth of the society. The name of no...

Explanation of Central bank and its major functions

The central bank is the institution that controls the monetary and banking structure of the country.  The central bank (CRB)is a non-profit making the financial institution.

It controls and regulates the activities of other banks. It is under government ownership and management. It regulates the monetary and credit conditions to attain the goals of the state.  Functions of Central Bank:  A central bank is the apex institution of a country’s monetary system.
