00:00 Intro
00:30 Walter Bagehot
03:20 Bagehot's theory on the lender of last resort
04:56 Great depression (with Bank reserves)
08:14 Fed funds effective rate
10:59 Discount rate is 'penalty' in 50s & 60s
12:35 Discount rate since late 60s not 'penalty'
Here we look at the Federal Reserve's weekly balance sheet versus its base policy interest rate in the 1910s and 1920s, which is called the 'Discount rate.' In the early days, this was the rate of interest that banks could get for borrowing directly from the Federal Reserve (and not just in emergency situations, as is the case today), called the 'Discount window.'
Walter Bagehot in Lombard Street is quoted very often by central banks, as having defined the original theory of the 'Lender of last resort.' As we see, for most of the Federal Reserve's history, they do not follow his advice.
