This is the most comprehensive textbook available on the money demand function and its role in modern macroeconomics. The book takes a microeconomic- and aggregation-theoretic approach to the topic and presents empirical evidence using state-of-the-art econometric methodology, while recognizing the existence of unsolved problems and the need for further developments. The new edition is fully revised and includes new chapters.
Apostolos Serletis is University Professor and Professor of Economics and Finance at the University of Calgary. Since receiving his Ph.D. from McMaster University in 1984, he has held visiting appointments at the University of Texas at Austin, the Athens University of Economics and Business, and the Research Department of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.
Professor Serletis' teaching and research focus on monetary and financial economics, macroeconometrics, and nonlinear and complex dynamics. He is the author of eight books, including The Theory of Monetary Aggregation, co-edited with William A. Barnett (Elsevier 2000), Financial Markets and Institutions: First Canadian Edition, with Frederic S. Mishkin and Stanley G. Eakins (Addison Wesley 2004), Money and the Economy (World Scientific 2006), The Economics of Money, Banking, and Financial Markets: Third Canadian Edition, with Frederic S. Mishkin (Addison Wesley 2007), Functional Structure Inference, co-edited with William A. Barnett (Elsevier 2007), and Quantitative and Empirical Analysis of Energy Markets (World Scientific 2007).
In addition, he has published close to 150 articles in such journals as the Journal of Economic Literature, the Journal of Monetary Economics, the Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, the Journal of Econometrics, the Canadian Journal of Economics, the Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control, the Journal of Business and Economic Statistics, the Journal of Banking and Finance, the Journal of Applied Econometrics, and Macroeconomic Dynamics.
Professor Serletis is an Associate Editor of Macroeconomic Dynamics and a member of the editorial board at two academic journals, the Journal of Economic Asymmetries and the Journal of Economic Studies. He lives in Calgary, with his wife Aglaia.
Almost half a century has elapsed since the demand for money began to attract widespread attention from economists and econometricians, and it has been a topic of ongoing controversy and research ever since. Interest in the topic stemmed from three principal sources. Firstofall,therewasthematter oftheinternaldynamicsofmacr- conomics, to which Harry Johnson drew attention in his 1971 Ely Lecture on "e;The Keynesian Revolution and the Monetarist Counter- Revolution,"e; American Economic Review 61 (May 1971). The main lesson about money that had been drawn from the so-called "e;Key- sian Revolution"e; was - rightly or wrongly - that it didn't matter all that much. The inherited wisdom that undergraduates absorbed in the 1950s was that macroeconomics was above all about the determination of income and employment, that the critical factors here were saving and investment decisions, and that monetary factors, to the extent that they mattered at all, only had an in?uence on these all important variables through a rather narrow range of market interest rates. C- ventional wisdom never goes unchallenged in economics, except where its creators manage to control access to graduate schools and the jo- nals,anditiswithnocynicalintentthatIcon?rmJohnson'ssuggestion that those of us who embarked on academic careers in the '60s found in this wisdom a ready-made target.
