This paper explores the stability of the relation between money demand for M3 and inflation in the euro area by including the recent period of the financial crisis. Evidence is based on a cointegration analysis, where inflation and asset prices are allowed to enter the long run relationship. By...

Monetary growth in the euro area has exceeded its target since several years. At the same time, the money demand function seems to be increasingly unstable if more recent data are used. If the link between money balances and the macroeconomy is fragile, the rationale of monetary aggregates in...

Money growth in the euro area has exceeded its target since 2001. Likewise, recent empirical studies did not find evidence in favour of a stable long run money demand function. The equation appears to be increasingly unstable if more recent data are used. If the link between money balances and...

This paper investigates the usefulness of the money demand relationship in times of unconventional monetary policies by cointegration methods. In contrast to the bulk of the literature, evidence in favour of a stable long run money demand function is presented both for the US and the euro area....

Ökonometrische Studien weisen zunehmend auf Instabilitäten in der Geldnachfrage hin. Ein solcher Befund stellt die monetäre Strategie der EZB in Frage, die wesentlich auf einer stabilen Beziehung zwischen den Geldbeständen und ökonomischen Fundamentalvariablen beruht. In diesem Artikel wird...

Die Transmission monetärer Impulse auf zunehmend integrierten Finanzmärkten ist von herausragender Bedeutung für die Zentralbanken. Falls die starke Ausweitung der Liquidität in den letzten Jahren zu den Preisübertreibungen an den Finanzmärkten beigetragen hat, könnte die Einbeziehung von...

Eine stabile Geldnachfrage ist eine Grundvoraussetzung für eine erfolgreiche Geldpolitik der Europäischen Zentralbank (EZB). In diesem Beitrag wird untersucht, ob die Geldnachfrage im Euroraum auch im Laufe der Finanzkrise die Bedingung der Stabilität erfüllt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die...

The appropriate design of monetary policy in integrated financial markets is one of the most challenging areas for central banks. One hot topic is whether the rise in liquidity in recent years has contributed to the formation of price bubbles in asset markets. If strong linkages exist, the...

Monetary growth in the euro area has exceeded its target level especially since 2001. Likewise, recent empirical studies did not find evidence in favour of a stable long run relationship between the variables entering the money demand function. Instead the equation appears to be increasingly...
