The Money Multiplier

When you deposit money into a bank, do you know what happens to it? It doesn’t simply sit there. Banks are actually allowed to loan out up to 90% of their deposits. For every $10 that you deposit, only $1 is required to stay put.
This practice is known as fractional reserve banking. Now, it’s fairly rare for a bank to only have 10% in reserves, and the number fluctuates. Since checkable deposits are part of the U.S. money supplies, fractional reserve banking, as you might have guessed, can have a big impact on these supplies.
This is where the money multiplier comes into play. The money multiplier itself is straightforward: it equals 1 divided by the reserve ratio. If reserves are at 10%, the minimum amount required by the Fed, then the money multiplier is 10. So if a bank has $1 million in checkable deposits, it has $10 million to work with for stuff like loans and reserves.
Now, typically, the money multiplier is more like 3, because banks can always hold more in reserves than the minimum 10%. When the money multiplier is higher, like during a boom, this gives the Fed more leverage to move M1 and M2 with a small change in reserves. But when the multiplier is lower, such as during a recession, the Fed has less leverage and must push harder to wield its indirect influence over M1 and M2.
Next up, we’ll take a closer look at how the Fed controls the money supply and how that has changed since the Great Recession.

"In the modern economy, most money takes the form of bank deposits. But how those bank deposits are created is often misunderstood: the principal way is through commercial banks making loans. Whenever a bank makes a loan, it simultaneously creates a matching deposit in the borrower’s bank account, thereby creating new money. The reality of how money is created today differs from the description found in some economics textbooks: • Rather than banks receiving deposits when households save and then lending them out, bank lending creates deposits. • In normal times, the central bank does not fix the amount of money in circulation, nor is central bank money ‘multiplied up’ into more loans and deposits." Money creation in the modern economy By Michael McLeay, Amar Radia and Ryland Thomas of the Bank’s Monetary Analysis Directorate.

The principle behind this argument is simply the act of lending that 90% of reserves that generates money. For as money is being lend out, that increases economic growth and productivity which needs money to keep on growing. Hence it is productivity and service ces which at bottom creates money. If it were otherwise, as the saying goes "only money makes money", that would only increase inflation and the nominal quantity of money, and not the real purchasing power parity.

@@parityviolation968 The problem is with the liability side of commercial banks. They say to customer that they have their money as deposit - which is a complete lie. This money is not at their disposal, if they cash this deposit out, the bank would experience a bank run. The point is that if all the depositors cannot take money out of the bank at the same time - the deposits should be reported only in the amount of the reserves that are at the central banks and the remaining amount of deposit (which was lent out) should be not reported on liabilities side as deposit, but as invested deposits on liabilities side - so that customers ARE told that this money is still owed to them, but NOT AVAILABLE to them. If this money is AVAILABLE to them, you create money out of thin air. And if you tell them that they can take it anytime they want (without saying B i.e. unless all the customer try to do that), you are lying to them and it is a scam. Customer should have an option - either his money is deposited and available to them at any time (then the bank is just safekeeping the money and providing security service), the customer would pay a fee. If he does not want to pay a fee he can keep his money at home or allow the bank to lend it out so that he can make an interest on it (by allowing bank to lend it). Or split some money into deposit and investment (loan). But you cannot have the same amount of money as deposit and also loan. Full reserve banking is the solution.

I've been listening to a guy called Steve Keen and he makes the following criticism of the money multiplier (in my own words) and I hope Mr. Tabarrok or Mr. Cowen can explain where he's wrong. If a person wants a loan of $X, what's to stop the bank from just marking up their account by $X and looking for reserves later? After all, this does not change the equity of the bank so no foul play. To see how this works, imagine someone were to come to me and ask for a loan for $100. I could just write them an IOU for $100, and they could use that IOU to buy what they need. Reserves are only useful as a guarantee on the value of the IOU-if someone wants to come in and cash in the IOU, I need some cash in reserve. But once a reputation has been established for redeeming IOUs for real cash, people treat the IOU like it's real money and there's little need to cash in the IOU. (For a bank the IOU is the money that appears in your current/chequeing account. And a bank run is what happens when people lose confidence in the redeemability of the IOUs.) In principle, if people did all transactions in terms of the IOUs and nobody ever wanted to redeem the IOUs, the bank could operate without any reserves at all*. And the bank is free to print as many IOUs as it wants, constrained only by profit maximisation. In this way, banks do not need to look for reserves when someone asks for a loan. So the recursive series of transactions, each subject to a fixed "reserve ratio," doesn't seem to occur. You could always argue it's "as if" these transactions occur, and define the reserve ratio as Base money/Total money, but that turns the money multiplier into a tautology without any empirical content. When you view banking this way, it's totally predictable that the massive increase in reserves by the Fed didn't lead to hyperinflation. After all, reserves only exist to convince the public of the redeemability of the banks IOUs, to facilitate the occasional withdrawal, and to facilitate transactions between accounts belonging to different banks (see below). Once these functions have been fulfilled, more reserves doesn't lead to more loans. *This is not quite true since if a person with a Bank A IOU deposits it in Bank B, Bank B will want to redeem this IOU and there will be a transfer of reserves from Bank A to Bank B. Reserves are needed for this situation.

Confusing! Don't quite understand some logics listed below. Hope someone who know well, best with banking background, can enlighten me? 1. "But banks often has higher reserve ratio" Who set the ratio? Fed or bank? . Are you trying to say "Bank can reserve money higher than the ratio given by FED"? If so, what is the advantage to a bank for putting more than required money at FED? 2. If the reserves (10% of each deposit by a bank's customer) are kept at FED( I supposed), over some years, the amount would be accumulated very huge, can a bank claims back or uses these reserves on demand? if yes, then why bank bother to borrow from other bank? What is the mechanism of money flow between bank and FED in terms of reserve? If these reserves kept at FED, are they sent to FED once a bank seen deposit comes in? 3. "If Grandma had instead deposit by check, transferring $1000 to to yours, which will not be creating new reserves? " You means money "Transfer"( or deposited by check) from other bank-account to your bank-account not considered as "deposit" (into your account) ? Confused! Appreciate you time. Thanks!

It would be counterfeiting if they kept that money for themselves. But once the loans are payed back, that created money disappears. They only keep the interest, as payment for their work and to compensate for the clients that defaulted on their loans. The money supply is a breathing entity, that expands and contracts.
