This study approaches the Quantity Theory of Money at a conceptual level, asking how it can be most reasonably interpreted and quantitatively assessed. The resulting approach is straightforward. Unlike studies relying on other methods we find evidence of its linchpin prediction that is not...

We test the quantity theory of money (QTM) using a novel approach and a large new sample. We do not follow the usual approach of first differentiating the logarithm of the Cambridge equation to obtain an equation relating the growth rate of real GDP, the growth rate of money and inflation. These...

Efficient business transactions requires both liquid cash and electronic transfers. In developing nations, due to technological challenges and level of awareness of the citizens hard currency is most preferred. The demand for currency, however should not be misinterpreted to mean acceptability...
