Financial Innovations, Money Demand, and the Welfare Cost of Inflation

Abstract: In the 1990s, the empirical relationship between money demand and interest rates began to fall apart. We analyze to what extent financial innovations can explain this breakdown. For this purpose, we construct a microfounded monetary model with a money market that provides insurance against liquidity shocks by offering short‐term loans and by paying interest on money market deposits. We calibrate the model to U.S. data and find that the introduction of the sweep technology at the beginning of the 1990s, which i… Show more

“…Berentsen, Menzio, and Wright (2011) also show that introducing credit leads to a downward shift in money demand. Berentsen, Hube, and Marchesiani (2015) argue that credit expansion lowers money demand and suggest that financial innovations can influence household money holding because consumers hold less money by using credit services.…”

“…There is a growing body of information derived from scholarly inquiries that indicates uncertainty has extensive implications for enterprises. It encompasses both political and economic policy uncertainty, as discussed by Berentsen et al (2015), Eidgenössische Steuerverwaltung ESTV (2015), Jordà et al (2015), Kuzin and Schobert (2015), Leamer (2015), and Nyakabawo et al (2015). The prevailing consensus among scholars is that uncertainty exerts a detrimental influence on investment activities.…”

“…Besides better monetary policy, money and credit dynamics have changed as a result of deregulation, financial innovations including common access to ATM cards, the increasing role of money substitutes (Berentsen et al 2015), and financial intermediation growing in complexity in a relatively stable macroeconomic environment characterized by low inflation. Before 1970, banks typically funded their loan growth through monetary liabilities (Schularick and Taylor 2012).…”

“…Ultimately, broad money is nowadays determined by many concomitant interactions and factors which made money supply largely endogenous 1 and mainly driven by economic activity and bank lending. In consequence: (a) the link between money and credit is expected to be looser than in the past, (b) the new demand for money may be explained by the improved access to money markets (Berentsen et al 2015).…”
