Abstract
We analyze the ability of recent methods proposed for the specification and estimation of relationships among nonstationary variables, to overcome the traditional instability of empirical money demand functions. We use a 1964-1982 sample for the UK which has been widely used in the literature. The forecasting ability of the resulting model is then compared with that of alternative, reduced form specifications.
