B: The common notation for the "slope" term of an equation specified as Y = a + bX. Mathematically, the b-slope term indicates the change in the value of the Y variable resulting from a unit change in the value of the X variable. Theoretically, the b-slope is frequently used to indicate endogenous or dependent relation between the Y and X variables. For example, if Y represents consumption and X represents national income, b measures induced consumption expenditures.

Lesson 20: Federal Reserve System | Unit 3: The Fed Pyramid Page: 10 of 20

Topic: Base <=PAGE BACK | PAGE NEXT=>

Commercial banks form the base of the Federal Reserve pyramid.

Prior to the 1980's:

  • The Fed automatically included only national banks.
  • State and local banks could chose to become members of the Fed.
  • S&Ls, credit unions, and mutual savings banks didn't offer checking accounts and were not part of the system.

Legislation passed in the 1980's brought all checkable-deposit-issuing institutions into the Federal Reserve System.

  • The Federal Reserve pyramid rests on the non-bank public: households, businesses, and government agencies.
