| Summary |
"The demand for money function is arguably the most estimated equation in empirical macroeconomics, and a major theme of this book is to review this literature and assess the current state of our knowledge on the relation. Issues such as buffer stock money are analysed in detail, while consideration is also given to the use of new econometric techniques, such as cointegration and error-correction modelling. Throughout, the demand for money is treated as one element of a much wider portfolio choice problem, which also involves other financial and real assets." "The book begins with an analysis of the various theoretical approaches to the asset-allocation decision, before moving on to discuss the empirical literature in detail. As well as looking at single-equation studies of the demand for money and other assets, the results obtained from the more complete multi-asset portfolio models are also described." "The book is designed to be of use to students following courses in macroeconomics and applied econometrics, as well as to specialists in monetary economics."--BOOK JACKET. |
