Abstract

We set up an agent-based model where the parameters of firms’ pricing heuristics are determined through evolutionary learning. We argue that there are several key ingredients that result in the emergence of the lead–lag pattern in the money growth–inflation relationship. First, a realistic representation of money creation through a lending mechanism is essential. Second, there must be considerable heterogeneity in the distribution of newly created deposits and in the associated changes in demand at the individual firm level.
