I highlight the importance of the distributional aspects of money's divisibility by comparing a search-theoretic model … with random transfers of indivisible money balances, to one with deterministic transfers of partially divisible balances …. Randomization allows price flexibility, as if money were fully divisible. Partial divisibility does not, but allows money …

With certain condition, non durable good can be money as a medium of exchange. But equilibrium … non durable good as money by reinforcement learning which does use no information of the distribution of goods. It is …

This paper adopts mechanism design to tackle the central issue in monetary theory, namely, the coexistence of money and … higher-return assets. I describe an economy with pairwise meetings, where fiat money and risk-free capital compete as means … of payment.
