Existing search-theoretical model of money have in general abstracted from the existence and accumulation of other … assets, in particular, capital. In this paper we present a model where the optimal portfolio allocation decision of agents is … explicitly modeled.

We construct a search theoretic model of money in which counterfeit money can be produced at a cost, but agents can … screen for fake money also at a cost. Counterfeiting can occur in equilibrium when both costs and the inflation rate are … circulation of counterfeit money differs from the conventional mechanism that holds in the model when counterfeiting does not …
