onetary policy has traditionally been viewed as the process by which a central bank uses its influence over the supply of money to promote its economic objectives. For example, Milton Friedman (1959, p. 24) defined the tools of monetary policy to be those “powers that enable the [Federal Reserve] System to determine the total amount of money in existence or to alter that amount.” In fact, the v...

we have studied the relation between bank deposit rates and house prices in iran. for that, we have run some var models, using the following variables: real deposit rates (including 1 and 5 years deposit rates), money supply (including the high powered money and the liquidity), gdp, housing services index, and number of licenses for new houses. our results show that a reduction in the deposit r...

This paper uses the Granger causality method to test on United Kingdom data the relationship between income velocity and unanticipated and anticipated money supply and their respective volatilities over the period 1966-88. The results suggest that unanticipated and anticipated money supply and the volatility of these variables did not help predict income velocity and thus were not important fac...

The fixed-supply uniform-price auction suffers from existence of “collusive-seeming equilibria” in which all bidders dramatically shade their bids and very low prices may be realized. Our main result is that such equilibria do not exist in a family of “money-prize perturbations” of the uniform-price auction, in which a small payment discount is split among all rationed bidders. To shed light on...

There is a bitter controversy over what drives the housing price in China in the existing literature. In this paper, we investigate the underlying driving force behind housing price fluctuations in China, especially focusing on the role of housing demand shock with that of money supply shock in explaining housing price movements, by a new Keynesian dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model. ...

In the Keynesian model we thought of monetary policy as exogenous in the sense that the money supply, Mt, was set exogenously. This is useful for understanding the model but doesn’t really describe how monetary policy works in practice. In the real world, central banks adjust the money supply (and hence interest rates) endogenously in response to changing conditions. In this set of notes we dis...

HE MULTIPLIER MODEL of the money supply, originally developed by Brunner (1961) and Brunner and Meltzer (1964), has become the standard paradigm in macroeconomics and money and banking textbooks to explain how the policy actions of the Federal Reserve influence the money stock. It also has been used in empirical analyses of money stock control and the impact of monetary policy actions on other ...
