Abstract

Michelle R. Garfinkel and Daniel L. Thornton show that the money multiplier is not independent of monetary policy actions as is commonly assumed. They note that, for the multiplier to be independent of policy actions, movements in the ratio of currency to checkable deposits (the most important determinant of the multiplier) must be due to individuals simply adjusting their holdings of currency and checkable deposits.
