T. Choudhry, REAL STOCK-PRICES AND THE LONG-RAN MONEY DEMAND FUNCTION - EVIDENCE FROM CANADA AND THE USA, Journal of international money and finance, 15(1), 1996, pp. 1-17
This paper investigates the relationship between stock prices and the
long-run money demand function in Canada and the USA during the post W
WII period (1955-1989). The empirical. investigation is conducted by m
eans of the Johansen method of cointegration and the error correction
modelling strategy. Results show that stock prices play a significant
role in the determination of stationary long-run real M1 and real M2 d
emand functions in both countries. The direction and magnitude of the
role of stock prices depends upon the definition of the money and the
country. Error correction results provide evidence of causality betwee
n the real money stock and the determinants of the money demand (inclu
ding real stock prices).
