Document Summary

To study the economics of financial institutions and markets we distinguish between: finance and money, physical capital and financial capital. The study of finance looks at how households and firms obtain and use financial resources and how they cope with the risks that arise in this activity. The study of money looks at how households and firms use it, how much of it they hold, how banks create and manage it, and how its quantity influences the economy. Physical capital is the tools, instruments, machines, buildings, and other items that have been produced in the past and that are used today to produce goods and services. The funds that firms use to buy physical capital are called financial capital. Gross investment is the total amount spent on purchases of new capital and on replacing depreciated capital. Depreciation is the decrease in the quantity of capital that results from wear and tear and obsolescence.
