Modeling Money and Credit: The New Monetarist View

Manchester School, 2019, vol. 87, issue S1, 29-44

Abstract: In this paper, we survey recent theoretical work on money and credit following the New Monetarist approach. We argue that a coherent macroeconomic model should show that both these institutions are essential, in the sense that they help achieve allocations that could not be attained without them. As recent literature shows, however, this is difficult to establish and requires being very explicit about the frictions that money and credit help overcome. The paper highlights the importance of microfoundations and provides a word of caution against using reduced form models in macroeconomics.
