Forward-Looking, Stochastic Cash Management and the Demand for Money

Gregor Smith

Working Paper from Economics Department, Queen's University

Abstract: This paper aims to connect money demand theory with optimal inventory theory and with time series evidence. An agent's problem of minimizing cash-management costs is of a familiar threshold form. Closed-form expressions are derived in a special case. The theory implies that expected future interest rates may influence money holdings despite the absence of strictly convex adjustment cots. A distributed-lag expression for these holdings is proposed in which the adjustment and expectations dynamics are derived from theory.
