Abstract

. In this paper we study the effects of monetary policies on employment, capital accumulation, consumption, and the term structure of interest rates in a cash‐in‐advance economy, where money is required for consumption expenditures. Monetary policy involves targeting the inflation rate. The detailed dynamics of the model are fully worked out. As no numerical analysis is involved, we are able to identify very clearly the different channels through which monetary policy will impinge on the important macroeconomic variables. The model is also used to discuss the ‘Great Canadian Slump.’ JEL Classification: E52 and E43 Politique monétaire dans une économie où l’argent comptant est requis pour les dépenses de consommation : emploi, accumulation de capital et structure temporelle des taux d’intérêt. Ce mémoire étudie les effets des politiques monétaires sur l’emploi, l’accumulation du capital, la consommation et la structure temporelle des taux d’intérêt dans une économie où l’argent comptant est requis pour les dépenses de consommation. La politique monétaire est définie par des cibles pour le taux d’inflation. On développe la dynamique du modèle en détails. Comme il ne s’agit pas d’une analyse numérique, on est en mesure d’identifier clairement les différents canaux à travers lesquels la politique monétaire peut avoir un impact sur les variables macroéconomiques importantes. Le modèle est aussi utilisé pour discuter la «grande dépression économique canadienne».
