Abstract

There always exists a monetary equilibrium when search is directed, money is indivisible and production is on demand (Julien Kennes King 2007). We demonstrate that when production takes place before exchange, forcing sellers to incur a sunk cost, there must be a minimum buyer-seller ratio for the monetary equilibrium to survive.
