This is because, in this model the equilibrium fed funds rate fluctuates between the discount rate and the interest on reserves. This gives the Fed a tool to control the fluctuations in the equilibrium fed funds rate. Let's see how. Assume that the supply of federal funds equals $70 billion. Suppose that currently the discount rate is 4.5 percent and the interest on reserves equals 1.5 percent. In this case, if demand for reserves increases by $40 billion dollars, the equilibrium fed funds rate will increase to percent, and if it decreases by $40 billion, the equilibrium fed funds rate will decrease to percent. Now suppose the Fed wants to reduce the fluctuations in the equilibrium fed funds rate. So it…

The discount rate is 4.5 percent and the Fed pays an interest of 1.50 percent on excess reserves. Currently banks as a whole are holding an excess reserve of $70 billion. This means that the equilibrium fed funds rate is 0.03 percent. Suppose that demand for excess reserves by the banking system increases by $20 billion (banks collectively want to hold $20 billion more excess reserves). In that case, the equilibrium fed funds rate will increase to 0.02 percent. Suppose that demand for excess reserves by the banking system increases by another $20 billion (now demand has increased by a total of $40 billion). In that case, the equilibrium fed funds rate will increase to 0.01 percent. Federal Funds Rate
