MONEY MULTIPLIER: The magnified change in money, both checkable deposits and currency, resulting from a change in bank reserves. Compared to the simple deposit multiplier, the money multiplier builds on the inverse of the required-reserves ratio, but also takes into consideration that banks keep excess reserves, and the public transfers some checkable deposits into cash and savings.

     See also | money | checkable deposits | currency | bank reserves | excess reserves | deposit multiplier |

Imperfections in the exchange process between buyers and sellers that prevent markets from efficiently allocating scarce resources. Market failures come in four varieties -- public goods, market control, externalities, and imperfect information. Market efficiency is achieved if the value of goods produced is equal to the value of foregone production. Markets fail when this efficiency condition is not achieved. Such failures can only be corrected by government intervention.
