Abstract

Before the financial crisis there was a significant, negative relationship between the money multiplier and the risk free rate; post-crisis it was significant and positive. We develop a model where banksíreserves mitigate not only liquidity risk, but also default/credit risk. When default risk dominates, the model predicts a positive relationship between the risk free rate and the money multiplier. When liquidity risk dominates, that relationship is negative. We suggest reduced liquidity risk, from QE and remunerated reserves, helps explain the multiplier data. The model's implications linking the stock market and the money multiplier are also deduced and verified.
