<< review queue entry 60823 - submitted by 'conorstuart88' >> http://wiki.mbalib.com/zh-tw/%E8%B4%A7%E5%B8%81%E4%BE%9B%E7%BB%99 -------------------------------- Editor: I'm not sure about some of what I write below (not least because I don't know much about economics), but we do have an entry for a Chinese term that corresponds to "money supply", namely 货币供应量. That is the term that the Wikipedia article on the subject uses. Definitions of "money supply" say that it is a *quantity*. (Hence the 货币供应量 on the end of 货币供应量.) For example, Merriam-Webster says it's "the total amount of money available in an economy for spending". But the following article defines 货币供给 as a behavior (行为), not a quantity: 货币供给主体即现代经济中的银行向经济主体供给货币以满足其货币需求的行为。 http://www.kui.cc/jingjishi/fudao/2241.html And the definition in the link provided by you, Conor, similarly defines 貨幣供給 as a process (過程) rather than a quantity: 貨幣供給是指某一國或貨幣區的銀行系統向經濟體中投入、創造、擴張（或收縮）貨幣的金融過程。 Possibly, 货币供给 is used *loosely* to refer to the quantity known as "money supply", perhaps as an abbreviation of 货币供给量, but even then, would it really require its own entry, given that we have cc-cedict entries that say 货币 means "money" and 供给 means "supply (as in supply and demand)"? (As an aside, most dictionaries don't list "supply (as in supply and demand)" as a meaning of 供给, but Grand Ricci has "(Écon.) Offre." as one of its glosses for 供给, and "offre" apparently does mean precisely "supply (as in supply and demand)".) I'm open to more informed views, but so far I'm not convinced that we need an entry for 货币供给. |
