A Strategic Market Game with Seigniorage Costs of Fiat Money

No 1043, Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers from Cowles Foundation for Research in Economics, Yale University

Abstract: A model that includes the cost of producing money is presented and the nature of the inefficient equilibria in the model are examined. It is suggested that if one acknowledges that transactions are a form of production, which requires the consumption resources, then the concept of Pareto optimality is inappropriate for assessing efficiency. Instead it becomes necessary to provide an appropriate comparative analysis of alternative transactions mechanisms in the appropriate context.
