• Endogenously Segmented Asset Market in an Inventory Theoretic Model of Money Demand

  Staff Working Paper 2007-46 Jonathan Chiu

  This paper studies the effects of monetary policy in an inventory theoretic model of money demand. In this model, agents keep inventories of money, despite the fact that money is dominated in rate of return by interest bearing assets, because they must pay a fixed cost to transfer funds between the asset market and the goods market.

• Modelling Payments Systems: A Review of the Literature

  Staff Working Paper 2007-28 Jonathan Chiu, Alexandra Lai

  Payments systems play a fundamental role in an economy by providing the mechanisms through which payments arising from transactions can be settled. The existing literature on the economics of payments systems is large but loosely organized, in that each model uses a distinct set-up and sometimes a distinct equilibrium concept.
