Lucas meets Baumol and Tobin
نویسنده
چکیده
Many issues that were traditionally analyzed using the Baumol-Tobin model can also be analyzed, perhaps more easily, using the Lucas (1980) cash-in-advance model where money serves both as a medium of exchange and as a store of value. This is illustrated by three examples (implications) of the Lucas model: (i) the velocity of money is time varying, volatile, and ination-dependent; (ii) transitory money injections have expansionary real e¤ects on output and employment; and (iii) the welfare cost of anticipated ination is a couple of orders larger than the conventional estimates.

متن کاملMonetary Equilibria in a Baumol-Tobin Economy
This paper provides a non-steady state general equilibrium foundation for the transactions demand for money going back to Baumol (1952) and Tobin (1956). In our economy, money competes against real capital as a store of value. We prove existence of a monetary general equilibrium in which both real capital and at money are voluntarily held over time. The demand for money is generated by xed tran...

A connected household is on the receiving end of central bank actions, while an unconnected household is not. ...
متن کاملThe Demand for Money, Financial Innovation, and the Welfare Cost of Inflation: An Analysis with Household Data
We use microeconomic data on households to estimate the parameters of the demand for currency derived from a generalized Baumol-Tobin model. Our data set contains information on average currency, deposits, and other interest-bearing assets; the number of trips to the bank; the size of withdrawals; and ownership and use of ATM cards. We model the demand for currency accounting for adoption of ne...
متن کاملA Longitudinal Analysis of the Stability of Household Money Demand
Past aggregate time-series studies, conducted under the assumption of a representative economic agent, frequently show that the demand for narrowly defined M1, especially non-interest-yielding demand deposit, is unstable during periods of financial innovations. Whether this is longitudinally the case among life-cycle savers is unclear. This study utilizes longitudinal data to take another look ...
