Abstract: Abstract The role of monetary balances in economic growth has long been a topic of macroeconomic research; see, among others, Levhari and Patinkin (1968). Following the work of Sinai and Stokes (1972), a number of studies have given this perspective empirical content. By demonstrating the significance of the role of monetary balances in an aggregate production function, this work has shown that money and financial policy need to be carefully considered in studies of growth. More recently this type of empirical analysis has been extended to the production function of a developing country. Pakistan, by Khan and Ahmad (1985). Their results are consistent with the findings for the US and Japan—that is, real money balances are an important factor of production.
