Liquidity preference in a world of endogenous money: A short-note

Abstract

We argue that even in the case that banks are able to maintain the interest rate at a level that they want (the most “radical” version of the theory of endogenous money), liquidity preference continues to constitute a key element when determining the real equilibrium of the economy. In a framework of endogenous money, the Keynesian theory of liquidity preference still constitutes a theory that determines level of income. Financial markets matter, and the Kaldorian idea that liquidity preference “ceases to be of any importance” can only be defended under a set of very restrictive assumptions.******En este artículo argumentamos que incluso en el caso de que los bancos puedan mantener la tasa de interés al nivel que deseen (la versión más “radical” de la teoría de dinero endógeno), la preferencia por liquidez sigue constituyendo un elemento clave en la determinación del equilibrio real de la economía. En un marco de dinero endógeno, la teoría keynesiana de preferencia por la liquidez es aún una teoría para la determinación del nivel de ingreso. Los mercados financieros importan, y la idea kaldoriana sobre la relevancia de la preferencia por la liquidez solo puede defenderse con un conjunto de supuestos muy restrictivos.
