Answer to Question 1

If banks hold excess reserves, these reserves are not loaned out. The corresponding checking account deposits are not created and neither are the additional checking account deposits from other banks that would have been created through the deposit multiplier process.
If households and firms hold currency, then banks do not get the deposits and the corresponding reserves. If the currency was deposited, the banks would create a multiple expansion of checking account deposits through the multiplier process.

Answer to Question 2

These statistics combine industrialized countries with developing countries. The statistics in this table are not consistent with the predictions of the economic growth model. For example, Belgium, France, Canada and Denmark had much higher levels of real GDP per capita in 1960 than did Bangladesh, Honduras, and Bolivia. The economic growth model predicts that Belgium, France, Canada, and Denmark should have grown more slowly than Bangladesh, Honduras, and Bolivia. But the table shows that they grew much faster.
