Paul GettyWhat is money?Economists define money as anything that is generally accepted in payment for goods or services or in the repayment of debts.Types of moneyA. Commodity moneyB. Convertible paper moneyC. Fiat money(or fiat currency):Usually paper money, is a type of currency whose only value is that a government made a fiat that the money is a legal method of exchange.Unlike commodity money or representative money it is not based in another commodity such as gold or silver and is not covered by a special reserve.D. Private debt moneyE. Electronic moneyPrivate debt moneyA loan that the borrower promises to repay in currency on demand.E.g. IOU the checkable deposit at commercial banks and other financial institutions.Commercial notes（商业票据）:Short-term, unsecured, discounted, and negotiable notes sold by one company to another in order to satisfy immediate cash needs.Include: promissory note (期票，拮据) draft (汇票) check and so on. Electronic money: Electronic Check, Internet Payment System, Credit Card ServiceWhat does money do?A. Medium of ExchangeIn almost all market transactions in our economy, money in the form of currency or checks is a medium of exchange; it is used to pay for goods and services. The use of money as a medium of exchange promotes economic efficiency by eliminating much of the time spent in exchanging goods and services.Terms: Transaction cost, Time value of moneyB. Unit of AccountThe second role of money is to provide a unit of account; that is, it is used to measure value in the economy. We measure the value of goods and services in terms of money, just as we measure weight in terms of pounds or distance in terms of miles.Note: Fiat money has not only no particular value in use; it doesn't even really have a value in exchange except that which is decreed that it would have.Terms: Good money, Bad moneyC. Store of ValueMoney also functions as a store of value: it is a repository of purchasing power over time. It is an asset. It 's something that we can use to store value away to be retrieved at a later point in time. So we can not consume today, we can hold money instead - and transfer that consumption power to some point in the future.Term: Hard currencyMeasuring Monetary Aggregates1. Measure as “money” only those assets that are most liquid, hence that function best as a medium of exchange.2. Include all financial assets in the measure of money, but weight them in proportion to their liquidity.1. M1 = Most Narrow Measure (Most Liquid)M1 = currency + traveler’s checks + demand deposits + other checkable deposits2. M2 = M1 + Less Liquid AssetsM2 = M1 + small denomination time deposits + savings deposits + money market deposit accounts + money market mutual fund shares3. M3 = M2 + Less Liquid AssetsMoney supplyThe revenue raised through the printing of money. When the government prints money to finance expenditure, it increases the money supply. The increase in the money supply, in turn, causes inflation. Printing money to raise revenue is like imposing an inflation tax.To expand the money supply:The Federal Reserve buys Treasury Bonds and pays for them with new money.To reduce the money supply:The Federal Reserve sells Treasury Bonds and receives the existing dollars and then destroys them.InflationInflation is an increase in the average level of prices, and a price is the rate at which money is exchanged for a good or service.Here is a great illustration of the power of inflation:In 1970, the New York Times cost 15 cents, the median price of a single-family home was $23,400, and the average wage in manufacturing was $3.36 per hour. In 2008, the Times cost $1.50,the price of a home was $183,300, and the average wage was $19.85 per hour.Hyperinflation is defined as inflation that exceeds 50 percent per month, which is just over 1 percent a day.Questions1. Money is not unique as a store of value; any asset, be it money, stocks, bonds, land, houses, art, or jewelry, can be used to store wealth.Many such assets have advantages over money as a store of value: They often pay the owner a higher interest rate than money, experience price appreciation, and deliver services such as providing a roof over one's head. If these assets are a more desirable store of value than money, why do people hold money at all?The answer to this question relates to the important economic concept of liquidity.2. Rank the following assets from most liquid to least liquid:a.Checking account depositsb. Housesc. Currencyd. Washing machinese. Savings depositsf. Common stock3. Why have some economists described money during a hy perinflation as a “hot potato” that is quickly passed from one person to another?4. Was money a better store of value in the United States in the 1950s than it was in the 1970s? Why or why not? In which period would you have been more willing to hold money?5. In Brazil, a country that was undergoing a rapid inflationbefore 1994, many transactions were conducted in dollars rather than in Reals, the domestic currency. Why?Quiz1.
