FED PYRAMID: A simple little diagram that depicts the structure of the Federal Reserve System, which is in the shape of triangle (hence the not totally accurate term "pyramid"), with a large base that comes to a peak. The base of the pyramid contains thousands of commercial banks, which rests on a foundation of the millions of people who make up the nonbank public. The middle of the pyramid includes 37 Federal Reserve Banks, including 12 District Banks and 25 Branch Banks. Resting at the top of the pyramid is the Board of Governors, with the Chairman at the very, very top. The top also has two notable offshoots -- the Federal Open Market Committee and the Federal Advisory Council.

TWO-SECTOR AGGREGATE EXPENDITURES LINE

A graphical depiction of the relation between aggregate expenditures by the two private sectors (household and business) and the level of aggregate income or production. The two-sector aggregate expenditures line combines consumption expenditures and investment expenditures. The slope of this aggregate expenditures line is based on the marginal propensity to consume, adjusted for the marginal propensity to invest if it is assumed to be induced when constructing the line. This is one of three aggregate expenditures lines based on the number of sectors included. The others are the three-sector aggregate expenditures line and the four-sector aggregate expenditures line.
