Understanding Bank Debits and Clearings in Early 20th Century Data
The article explains that bank debits measure business activity by recording charges to individual accounts when checks are drawn. It contrasts bank debits with bank clearings, noting that debits capture payments across banks and include guest movements, while clearings only reflect interbank settlements. It cites a study showing 62 of 100 drafts pass through a clearing house, while 88 of 100 are charged directly to banks. It argues debits better reflect overall economic activity, though they exclude transfers and government funds and are affected by branch banking growth, making clearings a less reliable indicator for economic change.
