The Money Multiplier

With just a little mathematical manipulation, we can express the real-world money multiplier (m) as a function of the required reserve ratio (RRR), the excess-reserves ratio (ER/D), and the currency-deposit ratio (C/D). To find m, all we need are the values of the C/D and ER/D ratios. (We already know that RRR = .10, or 10%.) Alternatively, we could compute m with values for C, D, and ER.

Studying the multiplier effect is crucial because, unlike what basic economics states, the money supply is not fully controlled by the Fed. Instead, the Fed does have access to the monetary base, but the multiplier effect will depend on the monetary decisions of financial institutions and the general public.

What is Net Worth and Why is it Important for Businesses?

Dual Income Tax System

This system levies a proportional tax rate on all net income (capital, wage, and pension income less deductions) combined with progressive tax rates on gross labor and pension income.

Key features:

• Capital incomes are taxed at a lower rate.
• Acts as a hybrid model between income and consumption concepts (interest-adjusted income tax).
• All income and profit are divided into capital income (proportional/flat rate) and labor income (progressive rate).
• Features the lowest personal income tax (PIT) percentage on labor income.

Economics

Definition

Derived from the Greek word ‘oikonomos,’ meaning “one who manages a household,” economics studies how societies allocate scarce resources to satisfy unlimited wants and needs.

2. Opportunity Cost: The cost of something is the value of the next best alternative forgone.
3. Marginal Thinking: Rational individuals make decisions by comparing the additional benefits and costs of an action.
4. Incentives: People's behavior is influenced by incentives, such as price changes (e.g., lower prices may increase consumption).
5. Benefits of Trade: Specialization and trade allow individuals and nations to achieve higher levels
