Is anyone very familiar with macro? if so can someone explain to me how money is created from a single new deposit? i.e. ..bank of canada buys $100 of government bonds from someone and that person deposits their cheque into their account resulting in assets and liabilities for the bank and excess reserves so it can increase it's loan portfolio ... i just don't understand the process. Thanks if you can help! +k
 
idk if you mean that, but:

i have 100$ (however i got them), put 90 on bank and spend 10, then the bank is going to lend the 90 to someone else. he again will use the money for something, maybe taking a loan for a house or whatever. the construction company puts 70 or whatever on its bank account and pay 20 to its employees.

the bank lends the money again and in the end result you get the amount of money explained by that formula with the nominal money amount divided by marginal saving rate or whatever, i dont remember exactly.

so in the end, way more than 100$ were spend (my 10 for whatever, 90 for the house, the employees spend 20, and so on until "nothing" is left).

but i am pretty sure that you know that already, maybe i helped you though.

so, the higher the money multiplier the more effective is the central bank and its instruments
 
money multiplier=(1/reserve ratio)so if they bank has $100 in excess reserves and the rr is 10% then they can loan out $110, which creates $10. also, im pretty sure if the bank would want to sell bonds, not buy them if they're looking to increase their loan possibilities
not really sure if this is what the question is asking and i took macro last semester so don't quote me on this
 
yeah the equations used are(E is the sum of all)

M= CU(currency held by the public)+ ED(sum of all deposits)
ER(reserve)= initial investmentED(deposits)= ER/(reserve deposit ratio)EL(loans)= ED-ER
