	Economic Issues No. 5--Transformations to Open Market Operations
		Open market operations are the major instrument of monetary control in industrial countries and are becoming important to developing countries and economies in transition.
		Open market operations allow central banks great flexibility in the timing and volume of monetary operations at their own initiative, encourage an impersonal, businesslike relationship with participants in the marketplace, and provide a means of avoiding the inefficiencies of direct controls.
		Open market operations in which special securities are issued for purposes of monetary policy are of most practical use when excess liquidity is flooding the banking system.

	Open Market Operation - Fedpoints - Federal Reserve Bank of New York
		Open market operations are one of three basic tools used by the Federal Reserve to reach its monetary policy objectives.
		Open market operations allow the Federal Reserve to adjust directly the supply of nonborrowed reserves in the banking system.
		Banks borrow reserves in the federal funds market in order to meet reserve requirements set by the Federal Reserve, and to ensure adequate balances in their accounts at the Fed to cover checks and electronic payments that the Fed processes on their behalf.

	Eco 340, chapter 17 lecture notes
		In OMO, the Fed buys or sells bonds, usually from the banks, in order to affect the level of bank reserves and the federal funds rate (the interest rate at which commercial banks loan each other reserves, on an overnight basis).
		OMO directly influences the FEDERAL FUNDS MARKET (the market where banks loan their excess reserves to each other, usually on an overnight basis), by affecting the supply of bank reserves.
		The federal funds rate, which is the interest rate that banks charge each other on loans of reserves, is the equilibrium interest rate in the federal funds market, so it is determined by the intersection of the supply and demand curves for reserves.

	Operation Market Garden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The operation was initially successful with the capture of the Waal bridge at Nijmegen on 20 September, but was a failure overall as the final Rhine bridge at Arnhem was never taken, and the British 1st Airborne Division was destroyed in the ensuing combat.
		Market would be the largest airborne operation in history, delivering over 34,876 men of the 101st, 82nd, 1st and the Polish Brigade.
		It is also possible that repeated operational stand-tos and cancellations (over a dozen drops were planned and then cancelled in the weeks prior to the operation) had led to sloppy battery charging procedures and lax supervision of this task.

		Because open-air drug markets vary in terms of size, drug type and clientele, it is important to understand the conditions of each particular market to best focus your response strategies.
		Displacement takes place when action against a drug market causes market participants to alter their patterns of behavior, whether by moving from one place to another, changing their times of operation, changing their mode of operation or replacing drug dealing with other forms of criminal activity.
		The effects of displacement are difficult to measure—especially in cases where the market is dispersed over a large area.

	Open market operation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Both the US Federal Reserve and the ECB use variations of interest rate targets to guide open market operations.
		The US Federal Reserve's policy setting committee, the FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) and its members, regularly publicly state a desired target range for inflation (usually around 1.5-2%), but do not have an explicit inflation target.
		However, an inflation target would be too stubborn and inflexible for an economy during a national shock (9/11, Hurricane Katrina), thus the Fed continues with its inflation controlling goals, without the strict rules of an explicit target.

	Economist's View: Will the Fed Abandon Open Market Operations?
		Controlling the federal funds rate does not require the use of open market operations or any reference at all to a monetary aggregate.
		Each morning, the desired change in the federal funds rate is determined by the Fed and then the open market operation needed to move as close as possible to the target is implemented.
		In fact, recent changes in the Fed’s operating procedure where the discount rate caps the federal fund rate have already put part of this procedure into place (currently the discount rate is equal to the target federal funds rate plus 1%.

		Thus, the private, “independent” nature of the FRS has a vitally important policy consequence: the inability or unwillingness of the national government’s constitutional Branches to supervise the System’s operations, whatever the effect of those operations on the nation’s economy.
		The appalling aspect of this situation is how not one of those three Branches—neither the Judiciary, nor Congress, nor the President—has ever shown the least inclination to face up to the constitutional and practical political and economic issues arising out of the Federal Reserve System’s “independence”, let alone to do anything about it.

	The Relevance of Open Market Operations as a Monetary Policy Tool
		The role of open market operations - exchanges of different classes of government liabilities between the government and private sector - are considered in an oft-studied dynamic equilibrium model with money.
		Open market operation-financed changes in the money supply may have different consequences than lump-sum-transfer-financed money supply changes.
		This study confirms and extends Wallace's (1989) finding that open market operations need not be neutral even when lump-sum monetary transfers would be neutral when other model features are held constant.
