Financial Market and Financial Intermediaries Financial Market are the markets where net lenders can lend their funds directly to net borrowers.

Measuring Money How do we measure money? Which particular assets can be called money? Construct monetary aggregates using the concept of liquidity: M1 (most liquid assets) = currency + travelers checks + demand deposits + other checkable deposits. M2 (adds to M1 other assets that are not so liquid) = M1 + small denomination time deposits + savings deposits and money market deposit accounts + money market mutual fund shares.

How Reliable are the Money Data? Revisions are issued because:
Small depository institutions report infrequently Adjustments must be made for seasonal variation
We probably should not pay much attention to short-run movements in the money supply numbers, but should be concerned only with longer-run movements

Coupon Bond Example 1 Find the price of bond if the face value is $1,000, and coupon payment is $100 per year when the interest rate is 10%. yearly coupon payment(C) = $100 face value of the bond(F ) = $1,000 annual interest rate(i) = 0.1
If the maturity of bond is 1 year: P = C F 100 1000 + = + = 1000 (1 + i) (1 + i) (1 + 0.1) (1 + 0.1) (3)

Rate of Return and Interest Rate The return equals the yield to maturity only if the holding period equals the time to maturity A rise in interest rates is associated with a fall in bond prices, resulting in a capital loss if time to maturity is longer than the holding period The more distant a bonds maturity, the greater the size of the percentage price change associated with an interest-rate change The more distant a bonds maturity, the lower the rate of return the occurs as a result of an increase in the interest rate Even if a bond has a substantial initial interest rate, its return can be negative if interest rates rise

Real and Nominal Interest Rates Nominal interest rate makes no allowance for ination Real interest rate is adjusted for changes in price level so it more accurately reects the cost of borrowing Ex ante real interest rate is adjusted for expected changes in the price level Ex post real interest rate is adjusted for actual changes in the price level

Fisher Equation The relationship between the interest rate and the expected ination rate can be expressed by the real interest rate.
i = ir + e ir = i e where, i = nominal interest rate ir = real interest rate e = expected ination rate
(4) (5)
When the real interest rate(ir ), there are greater incentives to borrow and fewer incentives to lend. The real interest rate is a better indicator of the incentives to borrow and lend.

Theory of Asset Demand Holding all other factors constant: The quantity demanded of an asset is positively related to wealth The quantity demanded of an asset is positively related to its expected return relative to alternative assets The quantity demanded of an asset is negatively related to the risk of its returns relative to alternative assets The quantity demanded of an asset is positively related to its liquidity relative to alternative assets

Bond Market Equilibrium Occurs when the amount that people are willing to buy (demand) equals the amount that people are willing to sell (supply) at a given price Bd = Bs denes the equilibrium (or market clearing) price and interest rate. When Bd > Bs , there is excess demand, price will rise and interest rate will fall When Bd < Bs , there is excess supply, price will fall and interest rate will rise

Shifts in the Demand for Bonds Holding all other factors constant: Wealth: in an expansion with growing wealth, the demand curve for bonds shifts to the right Expected Returns: higher expected interest rates in the future lower the expected return for long-term bonds, shifting the demand curve to the left Liquidity: increased liquidity of bonds results in the demand curve shifting right Expected Ination: an increase in the expected rate of ination lowers the expected return for bonds, causing the demand curve to shift to the left Risk: an increase in the riskiness of bonds causes the demand curve to shift to the left

Price-Level Eect and Expected-Ination Eect in Money Supply A one time increase in the money supply will cause prices to rise to a permanently higher level by the end of the year. The interest rate will rise via the increased prices. Price-level eect remains even after prices have stopped rising. A rising price level will raise interest rates because people will expect ination to be higher over the course of the year. When the price level stops rising, expectations of ination will return to zero. Expected-ination eect persists only as long as the price level continues to rise.

Facts Theory of the Term Structure of Interest Rates Must Explain a plot of the yield on bonds with diering terms to maturity but the same risk, liquidity and tax considerations
1
Interest rates on bonds of dierent maturities move together over time When short-term interest rates are low, yield curves are more likely to have an upward slope; when short-term rates are high, yield curves are more likely to slope downward and be inverted Yield curves almost always slope upward

Expectations Theory Explains why the term structure of interest rates changes at dierent times Explains why interest rates on bonds with dierent maturities move together over time (fact 1) Explains why yield curves tend to slope up when short-term rates are low and slope down when short-term rates are high (fact 2) Cannot explain why yield curves usually slope upward (fact 3)

Segmented Markets Theory Bonds of dierent maturities are not substitutes at all The interest rate for each bond with a dierent maturity is determined by the demand for and supply of that bond Investors have preferences for bonds of one maturity over another If investors generally prefer bonds with shorter maturities that have less interest-rate risk, then this explains why yield curves usually slope upward (fact 3)

Theory of Rational Expectations Expectations will be identical to optimal forecasts using all available information Even though a rational expectation equals the optimal forecast using all available information, a prediction based on it may not always be perfectly accurate
It takes too much eort to make the expectation the best guess possible Best guess will not be accurate because predictor is unaware of some relevant information

Futures Contracts
A contract between two parties for one party to buy something from the other at a later date at a price agreed upon today; subject to a daily settlement of gains and losses and guaranteed against the risk that either party might default The long and short party usually do not deal with each other directly or even know each other for that matter. The exchange acts as a clearinghouse. As far as the two sides are concerned they are entering into contracts with the exchange. In fact, the exchange guarantees performance of the contract regardless of whether the other party fails.

Options
Contracts that give the purchaser the option (right) to buy or sell the underlying nancial instrument at a specied price (exercise or strike price) within a specic period of time (term to expiration). The seller is obligated to buy or sell the nancial instrument if the buyer of the option exercises the right to sell or buy. The buyer does not have to exercise the option.
