Estimates of the demand for money provide important foundations for monetary policy setting but if the estimation technique does not explicitly account for structural changes then such estimates will be biased. This paper presents an investigation into the level and stability of money demand (M1) for Australia and New Zealand over the 1960-2009 period and demonstrates that both countries experi...

This paper studies firms’ demand for money by developing a differential-cash-constraint framework with firms’ entire wage bills requiring cash in advance and a fraction of investment purchases being financed by credits. In addition to conventional scale and opportunity-cost factors, firms’ financial status and profitability are crucial determinants for their money demand behavior. Employing a n...

This paper reviews the monetary approach to exchange rate determination and gives a brief historical review on the demand for money used in this approach. The monetary approach to exchange rate determination has come a long way. The basic models developed in the 1970s received initial support but did not hold up under further empirical research. With several advances in econometric analysis and...

We investigate the issue of whether there was a stable money demand function for Japan in 1990's using both aggregate and disaggregate time series data. The aggregate data appears to support the contention that there was no stable money demand function. The disaggregate data shows that there was a stable money demand function. Neither was there any indication of the presence of liquidity trap. ...

The relationship between money demand and specific macroeconomic predictors has been explained by a number of theories. Panel structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) generalized conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) techniques were deployed to analyze the data on with lag adjustment in relation inflation uncertainty, interest rate variations, household consumption, exchange depreciation Africa...
