Abstract

Dinero y liquidez no son sinónimos; ambos conceptos están relacionados pero en ciertas circunstancias resulta importante distinguirlos. Un breve repaso de las teorías de la demanda de dinero, como el que se hace en este documento, sirve para identificar esas circunstancias. El repaso culmina con la teoría de Keynes. El aporte de Keynes a la teoría monetaria es significativo. Sobresale, en particular, su tesis del dominio de una preferencia por liquidez en la determinación de la demanda de dinero si prevalecen las expectativas bajistas sobre el precio de los títulos de deuda. Tales expectativas “inflan” (y distorsionan la función de) la demanda de dinero. ****** Money and liquidity are not synonymous. They have reciprocal relations but, on several occasions, it is important to distinguish between the two concepts. A brief review of the theories of the demand for money, as is done in this document, serves to identify those circumstances. The review ends with Keynes's theory. Keynes's contribution to monetary theory is significant. Stands out, in particular, his thesis concerning a dominance of the preference for liquidity in the demand for money if bearish expectations are prevailing with respect to the debt securities prices. Such expectations “inflate” (and distort the function of) the demand for money.
