Why can't the Fed control the money supply perfectly? What are reserve requirements? What happens when the Fed raises reserve requirements?
The Fed cannot control the money supply perfectly because of two reasons - 1) the Fed cannot control how much money household would like to hold. and 2) the Fed cannot control how much money banks may choose to lend.
