The remarkable stability of monetary base velocity in the United States, 1919-1999


Abstract: This analysis examines the long-run demand for the adjusted monetary base in the United States, 1919-1999. When the \"price\"of the base is measured by the inverse of the yield on long-term, high-quality corporate bonds and an appropriate functional form is selected, the quantity of base money demanded is found to be a stable function \"...of a small number of variables.\"
