Kahn's Theory of Liquidity Preference and Monetary Policy

Marco Dardi

Cambridge Journal of Economics, 1994, vol. 18, issue 1, 91-106

Abstract: The gist of Richard Kahn's theory of liquidity preference lies in a study of how the assortment of expectations and types of uncertainty present at any given moment in the financial markets affects the relationship between the quantity of money and interest rates. While ruling out the idea of the demand for money as a stable function of the rate of interest, this approach shifts the emphasis from a mechanical view of monetary policy to the more unconventional notion of a 'policy of opinion.'
