Appendix A: Data Sources
We used several sources of data. Financial data for liquid government liabilities
(H), government bonds (B), and loans (L) were taken from the Federal Reserve
Board’s Flow of Funds Accounts for the United States.9 We first constructed a
series of seasonally adjusted from the unadjusted levels (Tables L in the Accounts)
and the adjusted increments (Tables A in the Accounts). Then, we defined these
three variables as follows:10
H = Liquid government liabilities equal Depository institution reserves (Table
108, code 713113000) plus Vault cash of commercial banks (108, 723025000), and
Currency outside banks (108, 713125005).
B = Illiquid government liabilities equal U.S. government securities of financial
institutions (109, 763061005; 114, 443061005; 115, 473061005; 116, 603061005; 117,
