This paper studies the relation between money supply and the long-run econo
mic growth in the context of an endogenous growth model with overlapping ge
nerations. We present detailed analyses of growth and welfare effects of mo
netary expansion under alternative money supply rules. It is shown that, al
though monetary expansion has a growth-enhancing effect in the long run, in
general it is not a Pareto-improving policy. We also pay much attention to
the presence of multiple equilbria in endogenous money supply regimes. JEL
