2. answer points

(1) The rights and obligations of both parties to an option transaction are not equal. The buyer of an option contract has the option to decide whether to exercise its call or sell option, while the seller of an option contract only has the obligation to perform the contract at the buyer's request, and has no right to choose. The rights and obligations of both parties to the futures contract are equal; (2) The risks and benefits of both parties to the option transaction are asymmetric. The risk borne by the option buyer is limited to the loss of the option premium, while the profit may be unlimited (such as buying a call option) or limited (such as buying a put option). An option seller may have a limited profit, the premium he receives, and a risk of loss that may be unlimited (such as selling an uncovered call option) or limited (such as selling a put option or a covered call option options). The profit and loss risks of both parties in futures trading are the same, and one party's profit is the other's loss; (3) option contracts can not only be traded on exchanges, but also have a considerable scale of off-exchange markets. Options contracts traded over the counter are non-standardized. All futures contracts are traded on exchanges and are standardized; (4) When option contracts are traded on an exchange, the seller must pay a deposit in accordance with the regulations of the exchange (except for the sale of covered call options). The buyer's loss is only limited by the option premium, so there is no need to pay a margin. In futures trading, both parties must pay margin.

(1) In the 1930s and 1940s, the Pool Funds Approach was a management method commonly used in fund allocation. Its basic content is: take deposits and funds from other sources as a conceptual fund collection library, and then prioritize and allocate funds in the fund collection library. The order of priority is: liquid assets; loans; income investment; (2) In the 1950s, The Funds Allocation Approach (The Funds Allocation Approach) was widely recognized as an improvement of the fund pooling method. The main content of the fund allocation method is: when allocating existing funds to various assets, the circulation velocity or turnover rate (turnover) of these sources of funds should be adapted to the corresponding asset period, that is, the repayment period of bank assets and liabilities The repayment period should maintain a high degree of symmetry. Those deposits with a low turnover rate should be allocated to relatively long-term, high-yield assets; conversely, deposits with a high turnover rate should be allocated to short-term, high-liquidity asset items. Therefore, this method is also called the term symmetric method; (3) The basic idea of ​​Liability Management is that, according to the established target asset growth and development strategy, the bank adjusts the liability-side items of the balance sheet, or , to meet the bank's goals and policies by "purchasing" funds in the money market; (4) After the 1970s, the method of commercial bank fund management turned to asset-liability management (Asset-Liability Management), and some expressed it as "camera Discretionary Fund Management. The basic idea of ​​this method is to strategically use funds that are sensitive to interest rate changes during the financing planning period and decision-making, and to coordinate the relationship between funding sources and fund utilization, regardless of whether these projects are on the liability side or on the asset side.

5. answer points

(1) In 1956, Friedman published a paper entitled "The Quantity Theory of Money—A Restatement". This marks the revival of the quantity theory of money. Friedman believes that the quantity theory of money is not a theory about output, money income or price level, but a theory of money demand, that is, a theory of what factors determine money demand, and regards money as a kind of asset Therefore, when people decide to keep their wealth, they decide to use currency or other asset choices. In this way, the consumer demand and choice theory can be used to analyze people's demand for money; (2) According to the above analysis, the final wealth holder's personal money demand function can be obtained. Since the actual income of various assets depends on the price level, the money demand function can be divided into nominal and real money demand functions. The real money demand is the physical quantity that can be controlled by the actual money held. The real money demand function is:

(3) On the one hand, Friedman's money demand theory is based on the traditional quantity theory of money (MV=PT ⇒ , =KY), but Friedman does not regard K and V as a fixed constant, but As a variable, in addition, Y is not current income, but permanent income; on the other hand, Friedman is a further development on the basis of Keynes' money demand function Md=L(Y, r). Therefore, Friedman's money demand function is a mixture of the traditional quantity theory of money and Keynes' liquidity preference theory.

3. answer points

(1) Keynes believes that money has complete liquidity, and people hold non-interest-bearing money because of their psychological preference for liquidity. And people's psychological "liquidity preference" or people's currency demand is determined by three motivations: transaction motivation-people hold currency to meet the needs of daily transactions; precautionary motivation-people cope with unexpected, Currency held for temporary or urgently needed expenditures; speculative motives - due to the uncertainty of future interest rates, people will speculate on buying securities at favorable times based on expectations of changes in interest rates; ( 2) The money demand of transaction motivation and precautionary motivation mainly depends on income, which is an increasing function of income, and has no direct relationship with interest rate. If L1 represents the transaction demand and prevention demand of money, and Y represents income, then its functional formula is: L1=L1(Y), the money demand of speculative motivation mainly depends on the interest rate, which is a decreasing function of interest rate, if expressed by L2 The money demand of speculative motives, r represents the interest rate, then its functional formula is: L2=L2(r), so, the total demand for money of these three motives is: L= L1(Y)+L2(r); (3) A major breakthrough in Keynes' monetary theory is the speculative motive for money demand. Keynes believed that the key to speculative motivation lies in the uncertainty of future interest rates. When the interest rate is high, people expect that the interest rate will fall in the future. Since the bond price is inversely proportional to the change of the interest rate, that is, people expect the bond price to rise, so buying bonds at a low price now will make a profit in the future. Therefore, people will sell money and buy bonds, that is, people's money demand will decrease, and the speed of money circulation will be accelerated; (4) Due to the existence of "liquidity trap", monetary policy cannot be an effective tool to achieve full employment, and The only effective way is to directly increase fiscal expenditure and expand investment to directly stimulate the growth of effective demand. Therefore, only fiscal policy can bring about full employment. It is on this basis that Keynes proposed that the state must directly regulate and intervene in the economy.

4. answer points

5. answer points

(1) The adjustment of the statutory deposit reserve ratio has a strong notice effect. The adjustment of the reserve ratio by the central bank is a public and well-known action, and immediately affects the reserve positions of all commercial banks. The adjustment of the statutory deposit reserve ratio has a mandatory impact, and the adjustment of the statutory deposit reserve ratio is mandatory by law. , once adjusted, any depository financial institution must implement it. The adjustment of the statutory deposit reserve ratio has a significant impact on the money supply. Due to the effect of the money multiplier, a small change in the reserve requirement ratio will lead to a huge change in the money supply. The policy effect is violent, and the impact on financial institutions and even the social economy is dramatic. The adjustment of the statutory deposit reserve ratio lacks due flexibility. It is precisely because this policy tool has a strong notification effect and influence effect. Therefore, it cannot be used frequently by the central bank as a daily adjustment tool; (2) The role of the rediscount policy tool: As a means of adjusting money supply, it acts as a "gearbox". Rediscount indirectly adjusts the money supply by affecting the borrowing costs of financial institutions and the increase or decrease of their deposit reserve positions. Its action process is gradual and not as violent as the statutory deposit reserve policy; it has a "notice effect" on market interest rates . It heralds the trend of the central bank's monetary policy, thereby affecting the expectations of financial institutions and the public; it acts as a "safety valve" for financial institutions with financial difficulties; it sets the flow of funds by reviewing some restrictive measures when applying for rediscounting , support or restrict the development of some industries, and achieve the purpose of adjusting the national industrial structure. Limitations of the rediscount policy: In the process of implementing the rediscount policy, the central bank is in a passive waiting position. Whether commercial banks or other financial institutions are willing to apply for rediscount or borrowing from the central bank is completely up to the financial institution itself; the adjustment of the rediscount rate by the central bank usually only affects the level of interest rates and cannot change the structure of interest rates. The rediscount tool is less elastic. Frequent adjustments to the rediscount rate will cause regular fluctuations in market interest rates, making the public and commercial banks at a loss, and it is not suitable for the central bank to flexibly adjust the market money supply. In western countries, there are different estimates and views on the role of rediscount policy. Some advocate that the rediscount policy should be strengthened, and some advocate that the rediscount policy should be completely abandoned and replaced by an open market policy. Nevertheless, the adjustment of the rediscount rate still has a wider effect on the currency market; (3) the advantages of open market operations: the use of this tool by the central bank is to "actively attack" the financial market instead of "passively waiting", which is One point is clearly superior to a rediscount policy; the central bank can, based on its daily analysis of financial market information, Decide on the type and scale of buying and selling securities at any time, and constantly adjust its business, so as to control the business effect and reduce the fluctuations brought by the implementation of monetary policy to the economy. This is much superior to the "one size fits all" statutory deposit reserve ratio; the "notification effect" is not obvious, and it has high operational flexibility. Since the central bank conducts a large number of securities transactions in the open market every day, it is impossible for the market to understand the central bank's operational intentions, which is conducive to the central bank's tentative operations and rapid reverse operations.
