Current money matching models employ either random matching or endogenous matching processes, both of which … consumption preferences. We offer an endogenous matching model of money with random consumption preferences. Our model preserves … nonmonetary equilibria to other endogenous matching and random matching models. We then consider the effects of government …

Evidence on the interdependency between monetary policy and the state of thebanking system is scarce. We suggest an integrated micro-macro approach with twocore virtues. First, we measure the probability of bank distress directly at the banklevel. Second, we integrate a microeconomic hazard...
