In search of a stable, short-run M1 demand function

Author

  • Yash P. Mehra

Abstract

Conventional M1 demand functions reformulated using error-correction and cointegration techniques neither depict parameter stability nor satisfactorily explain short-run changes in M1. Thus, M1 remains unreliable as an indicator variable for monetary policy.
