KEYNESIAN RANGE: The horizontal segment of the Keynesian aggregate supply curve that reflects rigid prices and wages. Shifts of the aggregate demand curve in this range lead to changes in the aggregate output, but not changes in price level. Such results are consistent with Keynesian economics, which is why this is termed the "classical" range. The other ranges of the Keynesian aggregate supply curve are the classical range and the intermediate range.

                           TIME DEPOSITS: Interest-paying bank accounts maintained by traditional commercial banks, credit unions, savings and loan associations, and mutual savings banks with a minimum time (at least seven days) before deposited funds can be withdrawn. Time deposits come in one of two varieties: (1) savings deposits and (2) certificates of deposit. The minimum time period prevents these accounts from functioning as demand deposits and being widely used as money. Time deposits, along with money market mutual funds, are added to M1 to derive M2. Time deposits are bank savings accounts with a minimum time requirement before the funds can be withdrawn. In some cases (standard savings accounts), the time requirement is not rigidly enforced. In other cases (certificates of deposit), it is. When enforced, withdrawal of funds before the designated time period results in an interest penalty--a reduction in the interest rate.The two common types of time deposits are savings deposits and certificates of deposit. Saving deposits include standard savings accounts, passbook accounts, share drafts, and money market deposits. Certificates of deposit pay higher interest rates that normal savings accounts, but require the funds not be withdrawn for a specified time period. Time Deposits in M2M2

The table to the right presents recent values for M2 and its two key components, M1 and near monies. Contained with the near monies category are time deposits. Savings deposits (including share deposits, passbook accounts, and money market deposits) are the largest category totalling $3.4 trillion dollars. Certificates of deposit, labeled as "Small Denomination Time Deposits" in the table are almost $800 billion.Savings DepositsSavings deposits are standard savings accounts or passbook accounts offered by traditional commercial banks, savings and loan associations, and mutual savings banks. Share drafts at credit unions and money market deposits at all types of banks are also included in this category. Savings deposits have a legal time requirement of at least seven days, which is seldom enforced. Unlike certificates of deposit, there is no explicit maturity date on savings deposits. These deposits also have limits on the number of withdrawals per month, often with a minimum amount per withdrawal. Certificates of DepositCertificates of deposit are accounts with an explicit maturity date after the date deposit and which typically pay a higher interest rate than that found with standard savings accounts. Maturity dates can range from one week to several years. Longer maturity dates invariably correspond with higher interest rates. If the deposits are withdrawn prior to the maturity date, then an interest penalty is imposed, that is, the interest rate paid on the deposit is reduced.Certificates of deposit are so name because in the days before computerized record-keeping, depositors received an actual certificate, a document, stipulating the terms of the deposit--maturity date and interest rate. Liquidity PlusTime deposits fill an important niche in the world of banking services. First, they provide customers with a significant degree of liquidity. Time deposits are NOT money and are NOT widely used as a medium of exchange. But they can be easily and quickly converted to currency or checkable deposits. Second, time deposits store wealth for customers and provide banks with a pool of funds that can be used for loans. The minimum time requirements gives banks some degree of assurance that the funds will be available for lending.

Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time at a dollar discount store hoping to buy either a rechargeable flashlight or storage boxes for your computer software CDs. Be on the lookout for bottles of barbeque sauce that act TOO innocent.

"One day at a time - this is enough. Do not look back and grieve over the past, for it is gone: and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering." -- Ida Scott Taylor, Author
