TI - On the Sluggish Response of Prices to Money in an Inventory-Theoretic Model of Money Demand T2 - NBER working paper series PY - 2003/// CY - Cambridge, Mass. PB - National Bureau of Economic Research N1 - October 2003; Hardcopy version available to institutional subscribers N2 - We exposit the link between money, velocity and prices in an inventory-theoretic model of the demand for money and explore the extent to which such a model can account for the short-run volatility of velocity, the negative correlation of velocity and the ratio of money to consumption, and the resulting stickiness' of the aggregate price level relative to a benchmark model with constant velocity. We find that an inventory-theoretic model of the demand for money is a natural framework for understanding these aspects of the dynamics of money, velocity and prices in the short run UR - https://www.nber.org/papers/w10016 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.3386/w10016 ER -
