In this paper we consider and illustrate a solution to the inter-related problems of monetary aggregation and estimation of money demand. The problem with the definition of money is that the relative prices of the monetary components fluctuate over time, rendering simple-sum aggregates...

Money is one of the main elements ("pillars") on which the policy strategy of the European Central Bank is based, and such a role requires that money has a stable relationship with the Euro area price level. Typically, the stability of this relation is tested in the context of the so called...

This study strengthens the frontiers of research on the drivers of dollarization in emerging economies by exploring the case of Ghana using the autoregressive distributed lag modelling framework. The data for the study spanned from January 2002 to March 2016. The evidence suggests that...

This study develops an error correction model for money demand in Latvia. The core of the model is a single cointegrating vector containing information about the long-run equilibrium between the real money balances, gross domestic product, and long-term interest rate. The model exhibits...

This study computes Divisia monetary aggregates DM1, DM2, and DM3 for Nige- ria using the Tornqvist-Theil quantity index for the period 2007M12 to 2020M12 and evaluates the performance of the higher-order aggregate (DM3) with a corre- sponding higher aggregate of the simple sum broad money...

The stability of the demand for real M1 in Indonesia is empirically examined using quarterly data between 1981 and 2002. A cointegrated VAR methodology that isolates the period of structural breaks in the data generating process of the variables, caused by the Asian crisis, is used. The results...

To facilitate a more detailed study of the volume of euro banknotes in circulation issued by the Deutsche Bundesbank, it is broken down into the components of foreign demand, domestic hoarding and domestic transaction balances. These banknote demand components are estimated using the direct...

This paper investigates how the identification assumptions of monetary policy shocks modify the inference in a standard DSGE model. Considering SVAR models in which either the interest rate is predetermined for money or these two monetary variables are simultaneously determined, two DSGE models...
