The term structure of interest rates and the demand for money

Author

Abstract

This paper investigates the money demand behaviour when the entire term structure of interest rates is taken into account. The results show that the interest elasticity of money demand does not vary with the level of the term structure of interest rates. It is also found that the quantity of money demanded varies directly with the tilt of the term structure. Both these findings have useful implications for macroeconomic policy and analysis.
