The demand curve for these entities becomes nearly horizontal near the equilibrium of the floor model, unlike in the corridor model. The demand curve for these entities is a downward-sloping logistic curve with bounds of i-sub-r and i-sub-b, which intersects their vertical supply curve. A simple expression for the money multiplier is the reciprocal of a ratio named for these (15[1])entities, (-5[1])whose excess sometimes (-5[1])has a negative interest rate to encourage (15[1])lending. (-5[1])(*) Open market operations traditionally (-5[1])change the quantity of these (-5[1])entities, (-5[1])which is often graphed against the interest rate. (-5[1])A minimum (-5[1])requirement for the size of these entities, often expressed as a percentage of liabilities, forms a (-5[1])system named for their “fractional” variety. For 10 points, name these deposits (10[1])made by banks to the central bank. ■END■ (10[6]0[2])
