The currency ratio: an estimate of the value, and significance for the monetary system, of the public’s holdings of currency relative to the total money supply in Canada, 1867-1961.

This thesis has a threefold purpose: (1) To set forth the value of the currency ratio in Canada from Confederation to the present day, and to examine the historical trend in this ratio (Part Three). (2) To indicate the importance of this ratio as a limit to the expansion of bank credit by presenting a systematic account of the literature on bank credit expansion, (Part Two - A), and to perform actual calculations evaluating bank expansion multipliers tor Canada (Part Five). (3) To examine some of the main causal factors which determine the value of this ratio, and to examine some of this ratio's main effects on the economy (Part Two - B), and to evaluate the relative importance of these various causes and effects in Canada (Part Four).
