Credit Cards

Saturday, January 29th, 2011


A relatively new form of interbank cooperation is the bank credit card. Visa and Master Card are the most commonly used credit cards in Canada and each is run by a group of chartered banks. The card permits the holder to charge purchases of goods and services. The participating banks promptly pay the merchants and bill the credit card holder, who has the option of paying at once or paying later at the cost of a prespecified  rate of interest. Banks find this highly profitable, because it provides “instant” loans with a small amount of paperwork and a high rate of interest – typically 18-20 percent per year.

Summary

Friday, January 21st, 2011


  1. Traditionally in economics, money has referred to any generally accepted medium of exchange. A number of functions of money may, however, be distinguished – the major ones are a medium of exchange, a store of value, and a unit of account.
  2. Money arose because of the inconvenience of barter and developed in stages from precious metal, to metal coinage, to paper money fractionally backed by precious metals, to fiat money, and to deposit money. Societies have shown great sophistication in developing monetary instruments to meet their needs.
  3. Today there is debate about what constitutes money. Concentrating on the medium-of-exchange functions, money is restricted to notes, coins, and deposits subject to transfer by cheque. It is difficult, however, to separate the medium-of-change function from the function of providing a temporary store of purchasing power between the selling and the buying of goods. Any readily salable asset that has a secure capital value can be a satisfactory store.

The Stock of Money in Canada

Wednesday, January 5th, 2011


Untitled 300x142 The Stock of Money in Canada

The money supply can be defined in a variety of ways; M1 and M2 and M3 are published regularly by the Bank of Canada. M1 is the narrowly defined money supply that includes items that serve directly as a medium of exchange. M2 includes additional categories of bank deposits that serve the store of value function and can be readily converted into demand deposits or currency. To get M3 we add in bank term deposits that cannot be converted so easily since the funds must remain on deposit for a fixed term. Also included in M3 are foreign currency deposits. These can readily be converted but their value in terms of Canadian dollars is not fixed.

Effects of changes in the money supply: unemployment

Monday, December 13th, 2010


When originally developed, the quantity theory was part of the classical model in which the equilibrium level of national income was always at full employment. But times change, and with them the assumptions that it seems interesting to use in one’s theory. Just as Keynesian theory, originally developed to handle situations of deflationary gaps, can be adapted to analyze inflationary gaps, so the quantity theory can be adapted to handle situations of persistent unemployment.

This is easily done by considering situations in which the price level is fixed and there is unemployment in the economy. Now changes in aggregate demand brought about by changes in the supply of money will cause real income and employment to change in just the way that they change when aggregate demand changes for any reason. In these circumstances the quantity theory becomes a theory of variations in real national income in response to monetary changes in the economy.

Two Approaches

Thursday, September 30th, 2010


There are two related but different approaches to the exercise of monopoly power. One approach is to state the price of the product, then produce only as much as can be sold at that price. This approach is most suited to a manufacturing operation, in which a list price is often established for an entire year, and production levels are adjusted during the year to ensure that there is no overproduction of the product. This approach can be summarized as raising the price, then restricting the output.

However, not all producers can schedule their output quite so precisely. In the case of agricultural products, crop sizes vary with the weather and other circumstances, and cannot be tailored to suit a predetermined price – in such cases, there is a risk of overproduction driving prices downwards. To deal with this, producers sometimes hold part of their output off the market, so as to prevent prices from falling. In some cases, such as Brazilian coffee, part of a large crop is actually destroyed, while in other cases, such as Canadian wheat and industrial skim milk powder, it is put into storage, usually with the assistance of government agencies. This approach can be summarized as one of restricting the supply so that the price moves to a higher level on its own, in the marketplace.

Product Differentiation

Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010


The demand curve indicates that, while the firm could raise its price, the demand for its product is so elastic that it would be unprofitable to do so…too many sales would be lost. However, the firm in monopolistic competition is not always in such a helpless condition. To the extent that a firm can make its product or service different from those of its competitors its operations and its costs. Where can people with such knowledge and experience be found? One likely source is the industry itself, in the person of retired senior officials, such as executives and board members, of the company being regulated. Even if the regulators come from outside the natural monopoly being regulated, they must depend heavily for their information on the management of the company. Thus, the process of regulation is far from the clear cut, objective procedure it is often believed to be, since the people who impose the regulations are not (cannot be) uninfluenced by the corporation they are intended to regulate. This raises the question of whether regulatory boards can always be counted upon to act in the best interests of the consumer, or whether the interests of the producer might not take precedence, as has been suggested in the case of the regulation of the airlines. It is neither possible nor fair to generalize concerning the effectiveness of regulatory boards, since some seem to be much more effective protectors of the consumer’s interests than others.
