Central Banking 101 by Joseph Wang has the following example on page 26:
So an investor purchases $100 of treasury securities from the treasury. I'd like to focus on that part of the example.
I've highlighted the relevant parts of the balance sheets here:
Here are the balance sheet changes in text form:
investor:assets:deposits:bank -100
investor:assets:treasuries 100
bank:assets:reserves -100
bank:liabilities:deposits -100
treasury:liabilities:treasury_debt 100
treasury:assets:reserves 100
With the above changes, what is the effect on the H.4.1?
It seems it might be as follows (note the two last lines):
investor:assets:deposits:bank -100
investor:assets:treasuries 100
bank:assets:reserves -100
bank:liabilities:deposits -100
treasury:liabilities:treasury_debt 100
treasury:assets:reserves 100
fed:liabilities:deposits:odhbdi -100 ; other deposits held by depository institutions
fed:liabilities:deposits:tga 100 ; treasury general account
So here, the treasury and the fed both have their own balance sheets.
Is this correct? Or is that redundant?
