Abstract: This study examines the empirical contents of precautionary demand for transactions money balances. Panel data are utilized to construct estimates of income variance. Regression results indicate that income uncertainty has a positive effect on precautionary money demand, but the magnitude of the elasticity of income variance falls far short of those suggested by economic theories.
