This paper discusses the important issue of price level determinacy from a theoretical and empirical perspective. The theoretical section relies basically on a dynamic aggregate demand aggregate supply (AD-AS) model. In the empirical section, we try to assess the relative importance of money...

This paper investigates the relationship among monetary aggregates, prices, and aggregate output using Thailand’ quarterly data from 1993:Q1 to 2006:Q4. The estimates of money demand function based on the quantity theory indicate a stable long-run relationship between real money demand and...

This paper examines the spatial interaction of neighboring cities over their employment cycles. The cycles of neighboring cities tend to be more similar to one another than are those of non-neighboring cities, although this is due primarily to neighbors' tendency to be in the same state. In...

A model is presented to characterise the (optimal) demand for cash balances in deregulated markets. After the model of James Tobin, 1958, net balances are determined in order to maximise the expected return of a certain portfolio combining risk and capital. Unlike the model of Tobin, the prices...

This paper addresses the perspective of Hayek’s doctrine on monetary arrangements in the economy and his favorable argument for an international central bank over national central bank. I also discussed Hayek’s view on free banking (i.e. for the free issue of bank notes) that would enable...

This paper re-examines the causal relationship between money and income and between money and prices in Pakistan. Using an annual data set for Fiscal Years 1959/60 to 2003/04 and employing Co-integration and Error Correction Models as well as the standard Granger Causality analysis we...

This paper proposes a closed-economy new keynesian model to evaluate the role of high growth rate of monetary aggregates on the inflation determination in Chile the last years. We estimate a rational expectations equations system derived by the model through Generalized Method of Moments (GMM)....

In this paper, we aim to test the empirical validity of the QTM relationship for the Turkish economy. Using some contemporaneous time series estimation techniques, our estimation results reveal that stationarity characteristics of the velocities of currency in circulation and the broad money...

In this paper we study the optimal monetary and fiscal policies of a general equilibrium model of unemployment and money with search frictions both in labor and goods markets as in Berentsen, Menzio and Wright (2010). We abstract from revenue-raising motives to focus on the welfare-enhancing...

This paper employing bounds test to cointegration analysis (Pesaran et al, 2001) revisited the linkages between real output, price and money and studied the impact of government deficit on money in India for the period 1951-52 to 2006-07. It finds that money and real output cause price both in...
