Abstract

To the Stability of the Demand for Money. An Empirical Consideration

In this paper eleven alternative specifications of a demand for money function have been investigated for the period 1965.Ito 1982.IV. The main purpose of the paper was testing of stability under the assumption of constant parameters over time, applying Cusums and Cusums squared test procedures. Additionally to these tests a standard Chow-test for structural break in 1973 and a test of homoscedasticity, based on moving regression, have been applied. The results of these tests do not allow clear-cut conclusions about the stability of the West German demand for money. This may partly be due to the violation of the statistical assumptions underlying these test procedures, so that it is difficult to decide which of the results are the least unreliable ones. Therefore, all conclusions drawn in the paper should be interpreted with caution. Nevertheless, it seems possible to single out the following result: In the beginning of the seventies there occurred a structural break in the relationship of the demand for money. Estimating over the whole sample period, therefore, may lead to wrong parameter estimates. This is important for policy purposes, so that estimation of the demand for money should start after 1975. But then there is an additional problem: one has to find a proper specification of the demand for money in terms of M3.
