We investigate whether money constitutes a perfect substitute for the missing record-keeping technology in a quasi … the available memory technologies. The result is that when money is divisible, concealable and in variable supply, a … single money may or may not be su¢ cient to replace the record-keeping technology. We further show that two monies serve as a …

Numerous economic models employ a continuum of negligible agents with a sequence of idiosyncratic shocks and random matchings. Several attempts have been made to build a rigorous mathematical justification for such models, but these attempts have left many questions unanswered. In this paper, we...

The current study takes place in the Phillips curve framework in which first, we look at determining econometrics models leading to characterize the dynamics of the main variables underlying the trade-off in uni-variate contexts. As a result, it appears that an adequate way to characterize the...
