Banking 101 is a series of 6 short videos that ask the following questions: How do banks work and how is money created? Is reveals common misunderstandings of money creation and the role of banks. Furthermore, the videos show how models taught in many introductory classes to economics (Econ 101) do not reflect those processes: Part 1) “Misconceptions around Banking” questions common comprehensions of how banks work (savings = investments). Part 2) “What's wrong with the money multiplier” states that the model of the money multiplies is inaccurate. Part 3) “How is money really made by banks” explains the process of money creation, loans and inter-bank settlement. Part 4) “How much money banks create?” asks what limits the money creation by banks and presents the difference between reserve ratio, liquidity ration, equity and refers to the inter-bank market. Part 5) Explores the question if banks create money or just credit and especially refers to credit risks. Part 6) Explains how money gets destroyed when loans are paid back. Note: The videos refer to the UK monetary and banking system, some explanations don't apply to other banking systems, e.g. the reserve ratio. 2012 Level: beginner How is money really made by banks? - Banking 101 (Part 3 of 6)   Positive Money Comment verdir la politique monétaire ? Jézabel Couppey-Soubeyran nous propose tour d’horizon des options possibles pour verdir la politique monétaire, en faisant de la soutenabilité environnementale un objectif à part entière de la Banque centrale européenne. 2020 Level: advanced Le rôle de la politique monétaire dans la transition écologique Jézabel Couppey-Soubeyran Institut Veblen The Great Recession 2.0 is unfolding before our very eyes. It is still in its early phase. But dynamics have been set in motion that are not easily stopped, or even slowed. If the virus effect were resolved by early summer—as some politicians wishfully believe—the economic dynamics set in motion would still continue. The US and global economies have been seriously ‘wounded’ and will not recover easily or soon. Those who believe it will be a ‘V-shape’ recovery are deluding themselves. Economists among them should know better but are among the most confused. They only need to look at historical parallels to convince themselves otherwise. 2020 Level: beginner Origins & Emergence of the 2020 Great Recession in the US Economy Dr. Jack Rasmus Exploring Economics Artikel aus dem Monatsbericht April 2017. 2017 Level: advanced Die Rolle von Banken, Nichtbanken und Zentralbank im Geldschöpfungsprozess Ökonomen der Deutschen Bundesbank Deutsche Bundesbank
