7 Barter 7

8 Barter 8

9 Barter In a world of barter, prices are denominated in other goods. So if Crusoe gives up one loaf of bread in exchange for 1.2 liters of wine, The price of a loaf of bread is 1.2L of wine The price of a liter of wine is 1/1.2 = loaves of bread Like currency markets now

10 So why have money? Now imagine three people: Crusoe Friday Swift Swift harvests shells How many transactions may be required involving how many different goods to attain equilibrium? How many exchange rates will we have?

22 Drawbacks to Commodity Money May lack characteristics of liquidity May be heavy and cumbersome May be difficult to measure or evaluate on the spot Costly to produce!

23 Limitations on Money Problem with paying with cash Carrying cash around can be dangerous or difficult Why not just pay with an IOU? Let the seller come pick up the cash later. If the seller trusts you to have the money later, you need not have it now. Credit

24 Limitations on Money Problem with paying with cash You don t have it. Instead you have cash coming in the future, or You have a positive NPV project, or You have some other valuable asset that could be sold

45 45

46 46

47 Origins of Banking If commodity is fungible, warehouse receipt represents a claim. i.e. it becomes a financial asset Warehouse B/S Tobacco or Gold Receipts

48 Origins of Banking Why would anyone ever ask for their stuff back? If their stuff is gold, they may need the gold for cash transactions.

49 Origins of Banking What is the likelihood of all customers asking for their stuff back on the same day? Depends on the covariance of withdrawal behavior among depositors How else can the warehouse make money?

56 Origins of Banking How does the warehouse make money now? Income Statement Interest Income - Loan Losses -Op. Exp.

57 Key questions: Origins of Banking How to structure liabilities? Demand deposits or timed deposits How to structure assets? Callable loans or timed loans? How many loans should be made? i.o.w. How big should the balance sheet be? What percentage of liabilities should be held in ready cash?

58 Credit as Money Warehouse receipt is a financial asset to the holder It s a liability to the issuer The holder is a creditor The issuer is a debtor Value of transaction media is a function of the creditworthiness of the issuer Why does the holder not charge interest?
