Abstract

We analyze in this paper the ability of recent methodologial developments for nonstationary variables, to overcome the traditional instability of money demand functions. We use a popular UK sample for 1964-82 to specify and estimate an error correction model, whose forecasting ability is then compared with that of alternative, reduced form specifications.
