A numerical analysis of the monetary aspects of the Japanese economy: the cash-in-advance approach
This paper analyses the monetary aspects of the Japanese economy based on the cash-in-advance (CIA) model. The Svensson (1985) model and the Lucas and Stokey (1987) model are examined by calibration. The Euler equations obtained from the representative agent's optimization behaviour stand for a non-linear relationship including some random variables. We approximate a generating process of exogenous variables using the quadrature-based method developed by Tauchen and Hussey (1991) and apply the numerical method proposed in Hodrick et al. (1991) to the results. Several moments of monetary variables are calculated to satisfy the theoretical consistency of the CIA model. Comparing the theoretical values with actual sample statistics, we examine the validity of the CIA model in Japan. The numerical results show that theoretical moments generated by the Lucas and Stokey model are consistent with sample moments in the 1980s.
