Description:
Money has historically played a fundamental role in macroeconomics. The quantity of money had a central position in several pioneering analyses aimed at understanding price level determination, inflation, and monetary policy. Different notions of money, spanning from narrow to broad ones, have been used for decades to inform monetary policy, the payment system, and banking in the macroeconomy.
Relatedly, liquidity plays a central role in finance through the determination of convenience yields. Finally, the quantity of money – or reserves – supplied to the banking system informs the main policy debate of the last decade, where most central banks implemented various forms of Quantitative Easing policies that revolved around massive increases in the size of their balance sheet. Yet money, liquidity and reserves are largely absent from the macroeconomic models that are commonly used by central banks and in monetary policy analyses.
This special issue aims to collect papers on this frontier of models in macroeconomics and finance where money, liquidity, and reserves play an explicit and central role in the analysis.
