The ECB so far has refused to sufficiently increase the money base to meet the increase in the demand of money and as a result euro zone money-velocity has contracted. We are basically in a monetary disequilibrium. Normally we would say an excess demand for money can be reduced in two ways. Either you can […]

Project African Monetary Reform (PAMR)
Project African Monetary Reform (PAMR) – post 1 The blogoshere is full of debates about US monetary policy and the mistakes of the ECB are also hotly debated.

Don’t forget the ”Market” in Market Monetarism
As traditional monetarists Market Monetarists see money as being at the centre of macroeconomic discussion. To us both inflation and recessions are monetary phenomena. If central banks print too much money we get inflation and if they print to little money we get recession or even depression. This is often at the centre of the […]

Bernanke, Obama and the political business cycle – and some research ideas
This week I attended a presentation by my good friend and professor of political science at the University Copenhagen Peter Kurrild-Klitgaard about the upcoming US presidential elections.

Schuler on money demand – and a bit of Lithuanian memories…
Here is Kurt Schuler over at freebanking.org: “During the financial crisis of 2008-09, many central banks expanded the monetary base. In some countries, the base remains high; in the United States, for instance it is roughly triple its pre-crisis level.
