Money and the gain from enduring relationships in the turnpike model

Peter Ireland

No 94-07, Working Paper from Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond

Abstract: This paper presents a stochastic version of Townsend's turnpike model in which the aggregate endowment is distributed randomly between two sets of agents and in which agents of each type are allowed to remain at a trading post for multiple periods. Agents use money as a means of exchange when they meet as strangers but use private securities when they remain paired at the same trading post. Both welfare and the income velocity of money increase monotonically with the length of the trading session.
