Abstract: Utilizing bivariate techniques developed by Pierce and Haugh, the causal relationship between the Australian money supply (defined as either M1 or M3) and various monetary base measures is examined. The evidence generally suggests a two‐way causal or feedback relationship with a strong positive contemporaneity, a positive relationship between money and lagged base measures and a negative feedback (or policy reaction) between the monetary base and lagged money. It suggests the possibility of bias in ordinary least squares estimates of money/reserve base ‘reduced form’ relationships in the Australian context.
