Abstract

This article finds that the demand for real M1 in Argentina has a positive relationship with real income and peso depreciation and a negative relationship with the domestic deposit rate, the foreign interest rate, and the expected inflation rate. Real stock prices do not affect the demand for real M1. The nonlinearity test shows that the double-log form cannot be rejected at the 1% level while the linear form can be rejected at the 1% level. The CUSUMSQ test shows that the money demand function is relatively stable.
