General Motors borrows $1,000,000 from an insurancecompany?Answers:a. new excess reserves: $1,000,000maximum possible expansion in the money supply:$1,000,000/.1 = $10,000,000b. new excess reserves: $1,000,000 - 100,000 = $900,000maximum possible expansion in the money supply:$900,000/.1 = $9,000,000c. new excess reserves: $0maximum possible expansion in the money supply:$0/.1 = $0(Borrowing from the non-bank public does not affect thebanking system's ability to create new money.)2. What is the effect on (1) demand deposits, (2) requiredreserves, and (3) excess reserves of banks given thefollowing transactions?a. The general public builds up its holdings of cash bywithdrawing funds in checking accounts.b. After Christmas the general public deposits cash in checkingaccounts in commercial banks. (How may seasonal changes in the public's need for cash alter banks' ability to lend?)c. Corporations borrow from commercial banks.d. State and local governments issue debt securities that arepurchased by commercial banks.e. Homeowners borrow from commercial banks to finance homeimprovements. (Are there any differences on the expansion ofthe money supply in questions (c), (d), and (e)?)f. A bank in California with excess reserves lends these fundsthrough the federal funds market to a bank in Maine that hasinsufficient reserves.g. Corporations issue short-term securities that are purchased bythe general public.h. Corporations retire (i.e., pay off) loans from commercial banks.i. The Federal Reserve buys Treasury bills that are sold by thegeneral public.j. The Federal Reserve raises the discount rate, and banks retire debt owed the Federal Reserve.k. The Federal Reserve raises the reserve requirement on demand deposits.l. The Treasury borrows from the banks to finance payments.m. The federal government runs a deficit and borrows the funds from the general public.n. The federal government runs a deficit and borrows the funds from the Federal Reserve.Answers:a. Demand deposits - lowerRequired reserves - lowerExcess reserves - lowerb. Demand deposits - higherRequired reserves - higherExcess reserves - higherThese two questions illustrate that a seasonal flow of deposits into or out of the banking system will affect the reserves of the banking system. Unless the banks are able to find liquidity elsewhere (e.g., the Federal Reserve), such seasonal changes in reserves may produce fluctuations in the supply of credit.c. Demand deposits - higherRequired reserves - higherExcess reserves - lowerd. Demand deposits - higherRequired reserves - higherExcess reserves - lowere. Demand deposits - higherRequired reserves - higherExcess reserves - lowerThese three questions illustrate that from the viewpoint of the banking system, it does not matter if the banks acquire debt issued by firms, governments, or households. To acquire the debt, the banks must have excess reserves. After they have used their excess reserves, the money supply is expanded, and the excess reserves become required reserves.f. Demand deposits - no changeRequired reserves - no changeExcess reserves - no changeUnlike in the previous questions, the lending of excess reserves from one bank to another does not in the aggregate increase or decrease the reserves of the banking system.g. Demand deposits - no changeRequired reserves - no changeExcess reserves - no changeLoans between members of the non-bank general public do not affect banks' reserves and thus do not affect their capacity to lend.h. Demand deposits - lowerRequired reserves - lowerExcess reserves - higherWhile the creation of new loans uses the banks' excess reserves and creates new money, the retiring of loans from commercial banks reduces demand deposits and restores excess reserves (i.e., increases excess reserves).i. Demand deposits - higherRequired reserves - higherExcess reserves - higherj. Demand deposits - no changeRequired reserves - no changeExcess reserves - lowerk. Demand deposits - no changeRequired reserves - higherExcess reserves - lowerQuestions j and k illustrate two major monetary tools, the reserve requirement and the discount rate. Notice that changing the discount rate and the reserve requirements do not in themselves change demand deposits. Their impact is on reserves, and theeffect of this impact may lead to a change in the supply of money. l. Demand deposits - higherRequired reserves - higherExcess reserves - lowerm. Demand deposits - no changeRequired reserves - no changeExcess reserves - no changen. Demand deposits - increaseRequired reserves - increaseExcess reserves - increaseDuring a period of inflation, a policy that contracts the money supply and the capacity of banks to lend is desirable. Theopposite situation would apply during a recession. If there were a deficit during a period of recession, it is desirable to increase the money supply and the capacity of the banks to lend. Hence n is better than m.。

国际金融复习资料英文版International Finance Revision Material - English VersionInternational finance is a field of study that deals with money management and economic activities that take place between nations. It is a crucial component of global trade, as it enables businesses and individuals to conduct transactions across borders and make decisions that impact the world economy. This revision material aims to provide an overview of the fundamental concepts and principles of international finance.1. Exchange RatesExchange rates refer to the value of one currency expressed in terms of another currency. Exchange rates play a significant role in international finance because they affect the competitiveness of a country's exports and also the cost of imports. There are different types of exchange rates, including the fixed exchange rate system, the floating exchange rate system, and the managed floating exchange rate system.2. Balance of PaymentsThe balance of payments is a record of all financial transactions between a country and the rest of the world. It comprises the current account, the capital account, and the financial account. The current account records transactionsrelated to trade in goods and services, while the capital account records transactions related to capital flows, such as foreign investment. The financial account records transactions related to the purchase and sale of financial assets.3. International Capital MarketsInternational capital markets are financial markets where individuals, institutions, and governments can buy and sell financial assets across national borders. Examples of international capital markets include the foreign exchange market, the bond market, and the stock market. These markets facilitate the flow of capital across borders, allowing investors to diversify their portfolios and businesses to access funding from global sources.4. International Monetary SystemThe international monetary system is the framework within which countries conduct transactions and manage their currencies. There are different international monetary systems in history, including the gold standard, the Bretton Woods system, and the floating exchange rate system. The current international monetary system is a managed floating exchange rate system, where exchange rates are determined by market forces but may be influenced by government intervention.5. International TradeInternational trade refers to the exchange of goods and services across borders. International trade is essential foreconomic growth and development because it allows countries to access resources and markets that they do not have domestically. However, international trade can also create imbalances in trade flows, leading to trade deficits or surpluses.6. International Negotiations and AgreementsInternational negotiations and agreements are crucial for maintaining stability and promoting cooperation in international finance. Examples of international negotiations and agreements include the World Trade Organization (WTO), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the European Union (EU). These organizations facilitate international trade, promote stable exchange rates, and provide financial assistance to countries in need.In conclusion, understanding the fundamental concepts and principles of international finance is crucial for anyone interested in global trade and economics. This revision material provides a broad overview of the topics covered in international finance and is a useful resource for students, researchers, and professionals in the field. By familiarizing themselves with these concepts, individuals can make informed decisions about international finance and contribute to the stability and growth of the global economy.。

It is also a unit of account, which means that we use money to reckon prices and reckon values for comparisons between goods and services or over time.其次它是一种计算单位,就是说我们用钱来测量货物、服务或时间之间的价格和价值的比较。

And thirdly, money is a store of value. It is an asset. Its something that we can use to store value away to be retrievedphysicallyprimitiveledgers4.古时候,比如在古巴比伦,小麦被当作实物货币使用。

人们在交换其它货物和服务之前先要交换一定数量的小麦。

后来巴比伦的祭司们发现,他们可以把小麦保存在一个中心仓库中,然后只需要记录下谁拥有这些小麦就可以了。

这样就用不着把小麦搬来搬去了,于是我们就有了在当时条件下很先进的原始簿记制度,也就是分户账。

Chapter 1经济学关注的3个问题:⏹How scarce resources are allocated in the productionprocess among competing uses.⏹How income generated in the production and sale of goodsand services is distributed among members of society.⏹How people allocate their income through spending, saving,borrowing and lending decisions.Default(违约)- When a borrower fails to repay a financial claim.借方未能偿还金融债务Liquidity(流动性)- The ease with which a financial claim can be converted to cash without loss of value. 金融索取权可以比较容易地且不损失价值地转化成现金的特性。

Depository institutions (储蓄机构)– Financial intermediaries, such as commercial banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, and mutual savings banks, that issue checkable deposits. 发放支票存款的金融中介,如商业银行、存储贷款、信用联盟、互助储蓄银行。

5. Why do financial intermediaries exist? What services do they provide to the public? Are all financial institutions financial intermediaries?Financial intermediaries exist to link up net lenders and net borrowers and to help minimize the transaction costs associated with borrowing and lending. Financial services provided by financialintermediaries include appraising and diversifying risk from individual net lenders. Not all financial intermediaries are institutions, such as stock and bond brokers merely link up net lenders and net borrowers for a fee and do not issue claims on themselves.16. Diane Weil earns wages of $45,000 and interest and dividend income of $5,000. She spends $8,000 as a down payment on a newly constructed mountain cabin and lends $4,000 in financial markets. Assuming that Diane spends the remainder of her income on consumption, what is her saving? Is she a net lender or a net borrower? What is her consumption?Chapter 2Money (货币)- Anything that functions as a means of payment (medium of exchange), unit of account, and store of value. 作为支付手段(即交换媒介)、记账单位和价值储藏手段的物品。

货币三大职能:Functions of money:⏹Means of payment (medium of exchange)支付手段(即交换媒介)- Something generally acceptable for making payments. 支付过程中被普遍接受的物品。

⏹Store of value价值储藏手段- Something that retains itsvalue over time. 可以长久地保持价值的物品。

Unit of account记账单位- A standardized accounting unit such as the dollar that provides a consistent measure of value. 标准的会计单位,例如美元,可以提供一个一致的价值度量。

Money aggregates(货币总量)- The measures of money—including M1, M2, and M3—monitored and tracked by the Fed. 联储监控并随时关注的货币指标数——M1,M2,M3。

M1– Currency in the hands of the public plus checkable deposits.通货加支票存款。

M2–Everything in M1 plus other highly liquid assets.M1加上其他高流动性资产。

M3– Everything in M2 plus some less liquid assets.M2加上一些低流动性资产。

Domestic nonfinancial debt (DNFD)(国内非金融债务)- An aggregate that is a measure of total credit market debt owed by the domestic nonfinancial government and private sectors. 国内非金融部门(政府及私人部门)在信用市场上的债务合计。

Chapter 3Quantity demanded of money(货币需求量)- The specific amount of money that spending units wish to hold at a specific interest rate (price). 在某一特定的利率(价格)水平下,支出单位希望持有的货币数量。

Demand for money(货币需求)- The entire set of interest rate–quantity demanded combinations as represented by a downward-sloping demand curve for money. 是一条向下倾斜的曲线,有一系列表明利率和货币需求数量之间的一一对应关系的点构成。

⏹There is an inverse relationship between the quantity demanded ofmoney and the interest rate. That is, ceteris paribus, when the interest rate goes up, the quantity demanded of money goes down, and when the interest rate falls, the quantity demanded of money increases.⏹Why is the relationship inverse?⏹When the interest rate goes up, the opportunity cost of holdingmoney goes up, and ceteris paribus, the quantity demanded of money goes down.⏹The demand for money is primarily determined by spending plans,income, changes in inflation, changes in computer and telecommunications technologies and changes in the risk and liquidity of other financial instruments.The difference between a change in quantity demanded and a change in demand: EXHIBIT 3-31. When the interest rate changes, we move along a single money demand curve, and there is a change in quantity demanded.2. When the demand for money because of income, spending plan and so forth changes, the entire demand curve shifts.Supply of money (货币供给)- The stock of money (M1), which includes currency in the hands of the public plus checkable deposits. 货币存量M1即公众持有的现金加上支票存款。

Quantity supplied of money(货币供给量)- The specific amount of money that will be supplied at a specific interest rate. 在某一特定利率(价格)水平下可提供的货币数量。

The Fed enters the picture in two places:1、A depository institution must have reserve assets equal to a certain percentage of its deposit liabilities. The Fed sets percentage of deposit liabilities that depository institutions must reserves assets equal to. This percentage is called the required reserve ratio(法定准备金率). For example, if a credit union has checkable deposits in the amount of $1,000 and the Fed as set a 10 percent required reserve ratio, then the credit union must hold $100 in reserve as cash in its vaults or as deposits with the Fed.2、The Fed influences the amount of cash assets outstanding and hence the amount available for reserves.What is the significance of the changes in interest rates caused by changes in the demand for or supply of money?For example:Supply of money↑→ interest rates ↓→ cost of borrowing money ↓→ borrow money ↑→ credit ↑→aggregate demand for goods and services ↑→ general level of prices↑Credit(信用)- The flow of money from net lenders or financial intermediaries to net borrowers in a given time period. 在一定时期内,货币从贷方直接或是间接通过金融中介流向借方。
