Money, Growth and Indeterminacy
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this article consumers need money to reduce their transaction costs. We highlight the existence of indeterminacy under a constant money growth within an endogenous growth framework. Real indeterminacy is avoided by an alternative monetary policy such as the interest pegging. The residual price indeterminacy is also ruled out if this monetary policy is completed by a non-Ricardian ...scal policy. JEL Classi...cation: E32, E40, O42.

Indeterminacy with constant money growth rules and income-based liquidity constraints
We study the implications of constant money growth rules on the stability properties of the equilibrium, in economies where agents are subject to a partial cash-in-advance constraint applying simultaneously to consumption and investment purchases. By reference to similar models in which the liquidity constraint applies only to consumption, we show that the inclusion of investment has dramatic, ...
متن کاملActive and passive monetary policy in an overlapping generations model
In a standard overlapping generations model, active monetary policy reinforces mechanisms that lead to equilibrium indeterminacy and to countercyclical behavior of young-age consumption. The policy rule which minimizes inflation volatility can be active or passive, depending on the characteristics of shocks and the risk aversion of households. Inflation forecast errors are always greater under ...
متن کاملVelocity of Money, Equilibrium (In)determinacy and Endogenous Growth∗
We show that in a canonical one-sector AK model of endogenous growth with a generalized cash-in-advance constraint, the growth and velocity effects of money are closely related to the local stability properties of the economy’s balanced growth paths. When a positive fraction (excluding 100 percent) of gross investment is subject to the liquidity constraint, the economy displays saddle-path stab...
متن کاملEndogenous Monetary Growth Rules and Determinacy in Cash−in−Advance Models
It is well known that a high degree of relative risk aversion induces equilibrium indeterminacy in cash−in−advance economies. I find that by endogenously adjusting the nominal money supply to output fluctuations, these equilibria can be effectively eliminated. This paper was written while I was a DFG Heisenberg Fellow. I would like to thank the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco for its hosp...
متن کاملOVERLAPPING GENERATIONS MODELS OF GENERAL EQUILIBRIUM By
The OLG model of Allais and Samuelson retains the methodological assumptions of agent optimization and market clearing from the Arrow-Debreu model, yet its equilibrium set has different properties: Pareto inefficiency, indeterminacy, positive valuation of money, and a golden rule equilibrium in which the rate of interest is equal to population growth (independent of impatience). These propertie...
