We extend the monetary-asset user-cost risk adjustment of Barnett, Liu, and Jensen (1997) and their risk … generate potentially larger and more accurate CCAPM user-cost risk adjustments than those found in Barnett, Liu, and Jensen … (1997).

We investigate the theory and empirics of currency substitution and currency complementarity. Analytical tractability … Australian dollar’s substitution for the mark and complementarity with the yen, consistent with our theory that international … variables will in general affect the demand for domestic money. Our theory also predicts third-currency effects, and the data …
