The paper sets the neoclassical monetary business cycle model within endogenous growth, adds exchange credit shocks, and finds that money and credit shocks explain much of the velocity variation. The role of the shocks varies across sub-periods in an intuitive fashion. Endogenous growth is key...

The explanation of velocity in neoclassical monetary business cycle models relies on a goods productivity shocks to mimic the dataís procyclic velocity feature; money shocks are not important; and the Önancial sector plays no role. This paper sets the model within endogenous growth, adds...

The paper shows that US GDP velocity of M1 money has exhibited long cycles around a 1.25% per year upward trend, during the 1919-2004 period. It explains the velocity cycles through shocks constructed from a DSGE model and annual time series data (Ingram et al., 1994). Model velocity is stable...
