Which kind of monetary policy would you expect in response to high inflation: expansionary or contractionary? Why?
Bank runs are often described as "self-fulfilling prophecies." Why is this phrase appropriate to bank runs?
Suppose the Fed conducts an open market purchase by buying 10 million dollar in Treasury bonds from Acme Bank. Sketch out the balance sheet changes that will occur as Acme converts the bond sale proceeds to new loans. The initial Acme bank balance sheet contains the following information: Assets - reserves \(30,\) bonds 50 and loans \(50 ;\) Liabilities - deposits 300 and equity 30 .
Explain what would happen if banks were notified they had to increase their required reserves by one percentage point from, say, \(9 \%\) to \(10 \%\) of deposits. What would their options be to come up with the cash?
Why might banks want to hold excess reserves in time of recession?
