CollegeExplain it at college levelState the model precisely
This calculator evaluates a macroeconomics relationship while holding unmodelled conditions constant. The implemented relation is Currency-deposit ratio = currency held by public ÷ deposits, evaluated from Currency held by the public, Bank deposits, Previous currency stock, Population to produce Currency-deposit ratio. The ratio reflects payment habits, trust, informality and interest-rate incentives and can vary seasonally. The result depends on comparable definitions, units, populations and time periods. It estimates a relationship; it does not establish causation or replace current primary data.
The economic question
Compare currency held by the public with deposits in the banking system.
Why this relationship is useful
The ratio reflects payment habits, trust, informality and interest-rate incentives and can vary seasonally.
Inputs that must be comparable
- Currency held by the public.
- Bank deposits.
- Previous currency stock.
- Population.

The model
Currency-deposit ratio = currency held by public ÷ deposits
From inputs to output
The calculator combines Currency held by the public, Bank deposits, Previous currency stock, Population and reportsCurrency-deposit ratio together with Currency stock growth, Currency per resident. Change one assumption at a time to identify what actually drives the estimate.
