Given these new conditions, explain what would happen reserve demand and why. You don't need to derive an expression for reserve demand, just explain what would happen to reserve demand and the market clearing federal funds rate and why (be specific and make sure you convey to me that you know how this 'tool' works!) Depict this development on your reserve market diagram and label as point B. Make sure you show how reserve demand is affected and refer to your diagram within your answer. Let's return to the original conditions before you were granted the authority to pay interest on reserves. Redraw a reserve market diagram locating point A as before.
