Money and Quantity Theories

1.1 Functions of Money (Mudram Ke Karya)

Money barter system ki sabse badi samasya "Double Coincidence of Wants" ko khatam karta hai. Money ke functions ko 3 categories me divide kiya jata hai: Primary, Secondary, aur Contingent functions.

Money ke Functions ka Classification:
  • Primary Functions (Prathmik Karya): Medium of Exchange (khareed-bech ko aasan banana) aur Unit of Account (cheezon ka price tay karna).
  • Secondary Functions (Gyaun Karya): Standard of Deferred Payments (future/debt payment ki suvidha) aur Store of Value (sampatti ko surakshit rakhna).
  • Contingent Functions: National Income ka distribution, marginal utility barabar karna, aur credit system ka aadhar banana.
1.2 Irving Fisher's Quantity Theory of Money (MV = PT)
Fisher's Equation of Exchange:
$$MV = PT \quad \text{or with credit money} \quad MV + M'V' = PT$$

Where: $M = \text{Primary Currency}$, $V = \text{Velocity of Currency}$, $M' = \text{Bank Credit Money}$, $V' = \text{Velocity of Credit}$, $P = \text{Price Level}$, $T = \text{Volume of Transactions}$.

Solved Numerical Example:

Problem: Given currency supply $M = \$1,000$, velocity $V = 5$, credit money $M' = \$500$, velocity $V' = 4$, and transaction volume $T = 1,400$ units. Calculate price level ($P$).

Solution:
$MV + M'V' = PT \implies (1000 \times 5) + (500 \times 4) = P \times 1400$
$5000 + 2000 = 1400P \implies 7000 = 1400P \implies P = 7000 / 1400 = 5$.
Answer: The General Price Level ($P$) is 5.

1.3 Cambridge Cash Balance Approach ($M = kPY$)

Cambridge economists (Alfred Marshall, A.C. Pigou, D.H. Robertson, J.M. Keynes) focused on the demand for money to hold as liquid cash balances:

Marshall's Cambridge Equation:
$$M = kPY$$

Where: $M = \text{Money Supply}$, $k = \text{Fraction of real national income held in liquid cash}$, $P = \text{Price Level}$, $Y = \text{Real National Income}$.

Unit II

Credit Creation and Central Banking

2.1 Commercial Bank Credit Creation Process

Commercial banks expand credit through derivative deposits. Given an initial primary deposit ($D$) and Cash Reserve Ratio ($\text{CRR}$), total credit created ($K$) is:

Credit Multiplier Formula:
$$\text{Total Credit Created} = \text{Primary Deposit} \times \left(\frac{1}{\text{CRR}}\right)$$

Step-by-Step Credit Expansion Round Table (Initial Deposit = $1,000, CRR = 10%):

Banking Round Primary Deposit ($) Required Reserve (10%) ($) Derivative Loan ($)
Bank A (Round 1) 1,000.00 100.00 900.00
Bank B (Round 2) 900.00 90.00 810.00
Bank C (Round 3) 810.00 81.00 729.00
Total System Output $10,000.00 $1,000.00 $9,000.00
2.2 Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Monetary Policy Tools
Tool Category Policy Instrument Operational Mechanism
Quantitative (General) Repo Rate Short-term rate at which RBI lends money to commercial banks against government securities.
Quantitative (General) Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) Percentage of Net Demand and Time Liabilities (NDTL) banks must park as cash with RBI.
Quantitative (General) Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR) Percentage of NDTL banks must maintain in liquid assets (gold, government bonds).
Quantitative (General) Open Market Operations (OMO) Sale/Purchase of government securities in open market to regulate systemic liquidity.
Qualitative (Selective) Margin Requirements & Credit Rationing Directing credit flow to specific priority sectors and setting loan-to-value caps.
