| Keywords: | Money Demand Money Velocity Cash-in-Advance |
| Description: | This paper presents a general equilibrium model of money demand where the velocity of money changes in response to endogenous fluctuations in the interest rate. The parameter space can be divided into two subsets: one where velocity is constant as in standard cash-in-advance models, and another one where velocity fluctuates as in Baumol (1952). The model provides an explanation of why, for a sample of 79 countries, the correlation between the velocity of money and the inflation rate appears to be low, unlike common wisdom would suggest. The reason is the diverse transaction technologies available in different economies. Financial support from the Bank of Spain, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and the Spanish Ministry of Science and Technology through grant SEC2000-0684 is gratefully acknowledged. |
