Money supply endogeneity and bank stock returns

Abstract

This article presents results of tests on two related hypotheses on money supply. The first relates to an unresolved issue of money endogeneity while the second centres on the yet-explored relationship between money supply and bank stock returns if money is found to be endogenous. Our results, using long-horizon data of Group of Seven (G-7) economies, supports causality in money supply as running from bank lending to bank deposits, a result that is predicted by the post-Keynesian money supply endogeneity (bank-credit-driven) theory. Thus, the result is not consistent with exogeneity proposition. A new evidence of positive relationship between endogenous money supply and aggregate bank stock return is statistically significant on this hitherto unexplored topic. These findings are consistent with the post-Keynesian money supply theory and the dividend valuation theory, which predicts money supply changes to induce changes in bank earnings, so bank share prices change.money supply endogeneity, bank stock returns, credit market, liquidity provision, post-Keynesian theory, dividend valuation theory, G-7 countries,

Bank stocks inform higher growth—A System GMM analysis of ten emerging markets in Asia

“…The differing nature of Institutional frameworks in Asia and its continuing growth memes reflect in an urgency to complete our understanding of growth mechanics in this region. Banks significantly contribute to economic growth and we show that this is not limited to the growth of private sector credit or money supply measures (Badaruddin, Ariff and Khalid, 2011) with its concomitant negative effects of overt or excess financialization. Do Bank stocks even lead economic growth?…”

Macroeconomic Effects of Government Debt to Banks in Iran

“…The banking system includes the central bank and the banks. Various studies have been carried out on government borrowing from the central bank and its effects (e.g., Aisen & Veiga, 2008;Kwon et al, 2009;Bassetto & Butters, 2010;Aktas et al, 2010;Badarudin et al, 2011;Bywaters & Thomas, 2011;Aisen & Hauner, 2013;Bajo-Rubio et al, 2014;Kliem et al, 2016;Berentsen & Waller, 2017;Williamson, 2018;Bassetto & Cui, 2018). Yet, government borrowing from banks and its implications are less considered by empirical studies.…”

Does the Bank of Thailand Have the Control Over the Money Supply?

“…Many economists have frequently argued that the money supply is endogenously determined (Howells and Hussein, 1998;Badarudin et al, 2011Badarudin et al, , 2013Thenuwara and Morgan, 2017, among others). The theory of money endogeneity focuses on bank loan as a determinant of changes in the money supply.…”
