We propose a standard search and bargaining model with divisible money, in which only the random matching market opens … tractable equilibrium, called a pay‐all equilibrium , and prove its existence. Each buyer pays all the money holding as a corner … power parameter affects the distribution of the money holdings and possibly induces economic inefficiency. We propose a …

Channel systems for conducting monetary policy are becoming increasingly popular. Despite their popularity, the consequences of implementing policy with a channel system are not well understood. We develop a general equilibrium framework of a channel system and investigate the optimal policy. A...

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 …

This note uses monotone methods to derive two sets of comparative statics results for monetary directed search models …, regardless of the choice of matching function. Second, the seller-to-buyer ratio, output level and money demand increase as the … matching function becomes more efficient in a log-supermodular sense. I also consider an extension with endogenous search …
