A Microeconomic Approach Charles W. Calomiris, Joseph R. Mason, and David C. Wheelock January 2011 Abstract In 1936-37, the Federal Reserve doubled the reserve requirements imposed on member banks. Ever since, the question of whether the doubling of reserve requirements increased reserve demand and produced a contraction of money and credit, and thereby helped to cause the recession of 1937-1938, has been a matter of controversy. Using microeconomic data to gauge the fundamental reserve demands of Fed member banks, we find that despite being doubled, reserve requirements were not binding on bank reserve demand in 1936 and 1937, and therefore could not have produced a significant contraction in the money multiplier.

  • Herrick, Lott R 1933-1937
    Lott R. Herrick 1933-37 © Illinois Supreme Court Historic Preservation Commission Image courtesy of the Illinois Supreme Court Lott Russell Herrick was born December 8, 1871, in Farmer City in central Illinois to George W. and Dora O. Herrick. As a child, he attended the public schools in his home town, ending his local education in 1888 when he graduated from Moore Township High School at age sixteen. The following semester, he enrolled at the University of Illinois, graduating there in 1892 with a bachelor of arts degree and memberships in the Sigma Chi fraternity and the Phi Beta Kappa honor society.1 His father had a law degree from the University of Michigan, and Lott followed his father’s footsteps north and received his own Bachelor of Law degree from that institution in 1894. Returning home, he was admitted to the Illinois bar and joined his father in the law firm of Herrick & Herrick. His career choice surprised no one. Since the age of eleven, he had been helping his father around the office during school vacations and Saturdays and continuing on to full partnership seemed natural. Having settled into his professional life, he married Harriet N. Swigart of Farmer City on April 2, 1896. Together they had two daughters, Helen and Mildred.2 He became a county judge in DeWitt County in 1902. He resigned the position in 1904 after his father died to enable him to devote his full attention to the family law firm, which now included his brother.3 This move marked the beginning of a period of almost thirty years in 2 which his partnership achieved eminence throughout the region, giving him wider experience in the practice of law than almost anyone who rose to the Supreme Court bench.
