INDUCED NET EXPORTS: Net exports by the foreign sector that depend on income or production (especially national income and gross domestic product). That is, changes in income induce changes in net exports. Induced net exports reflect the induced relation between imports and income, which means net exports decline as income increases. They are measured by the negative of the marginal propensity to import (MPM) and are reflected by the negative slope of net exports line. The alternative to induced net exports is autonomous net exports, which do not depend on income.

Early tasks of the Fed: - To keep banks in business and to avoid serious reductions in bank reserves that would shrink financial wealth and money supply.
What the Fed does now: - Manipulate the money supply by manipulating reserves.

EXCESS RESERVES The reserves (vault cash and Federal Reserve deposits) that banks have over and above what they are required by government to keep to back up deposits.

Because reserves do not generate interest, revenue, or profit, banks are inclined to keep as few excess reserves as possible.
