Money‐Hoarding as a Behaviour Towards Uninsured Idiosyncratic Risk

Abstract

This paper explores the implications of the presence of uninsured idiosyncratic risks for the hoarding of intrinsically useless fiat money in an overlapping‐generations model. It is shown that: (a) monetary equilibria exist in almost all cases; (b) the valuation of money is not necessarily Pareto‐improving since the non‐monetary steady state may Pareto‐dominate the monetary one; and (c) the accelerating inflation may, moreover, reduce the long‐run capital stock. JEL Classification Number: E41.
