Endogeneity of money: The case of Сzech Republic

Abstract

The goal of this paper is to specify the trends of money supply in Czech Republic. This will allow us evaluate the current approach taken by the Czech National Bank in its monetary policy. To determine money's endogeneity, we have analyzed time series for the M3 monetary aggregate, the monetary base, GDP, and loans. As part of the analysis, we have worked with quarterly data from the 1 st quarter of 1996 to the 2 nd quarter of 2017. We determined the optimal lag time for the time series using the Hannan-Quinn information criterion. Next, we have analyzed the stationarity of the time series using the Dickey-Fuller test. We have further tested the stationary time series with the Engle-Granger test. Testing long-term relationships using the Engle-Granger cointegration test between the money supply (expressed by the M3 monetary aggregate) and both GDP and loans, and then between the money base and loans did not confirm long-term relationships between the values examined. Therefore, we can consider the money supply in Czech Republic to be endogenous. Two-way causal relationships between M3 and both GDP and loans as well as between the monetary base and loans was confirmed using the results of Granger causality testing as a basis.

What drives economic growth sustainability? Evidence from Indonesia

“…Previous studies confirm the important role of the monetary sector on economic growth in various countries (Černohorská, 2018;Sirag et al, 2018;Tule et al, 2018). The monetarist view states that money supply and economic activity has a positive relationship.…”

“…Some papers mention that expansive fiscal policy has positive effects on economic growth (Auerbach, Gale, & Harris, 2010;Nguyen, 2015;Raji, Juzhar, & Jantan, 2014). Likewise, the expansive monetary policy is also the main factor in supporting economic growth in various countries (Černohorská, 2018;Sirag, SidAhmed, & Ali, 2018;Tule, Ogundele, & Apinran, 2018). Therefore, we may infer that the expansive fiscal and monetary policies will encourage economic growth sustainability.…”

Dynamic Effects of Energy Consumption on Economic Growth in an Emerging Economy

“…However, this study only involves one variable as a determinant of economic growth that is final energy consumption. Some previous research that focuses on economic growth determinants generally mentions several variables such as capital, labor, natural resources and government policies (Bošnjak, 2018;Černohorská, 2018;Hodula and Pfeifer, 2018). Based on these studies, we may highlight that economic growth is affected by various variables such as energy consumption, fiscal and monetary policies.…”

Does the Money Multiplier Hold in Pacific Island Countries? The Case of Papua New Guinea

“…For example, Oguzhan and Ethem (2017) found that for Turkey, the causality runs from bank loans to money supply, which supports the endogenous view that the central bank fully meets the total demand for money. Similarly, Cernohorská (2018) showed the monetary base to be endogenous for the Czech Republic. In contrast, Thenuwara and Morgan (2015) in the test of the endogenous money theory found the broad money multiplier to be unstable, casting doubt on the effectiveness of money targeting in Sri Lanka.…”
