Money, Measurement and Computation. Questo articolo non è disponibile.Money, Measurement and Computation

In this book leading researchers from universities around the world bring together new ideas on measurement and computation of indices for the financial sector. The book is divided into three parts. The first part contains two chapters which present particularly new ideas and applications on models of the supply and demand for monetary assets in the UK. The first paper by William Barnett, Barry Jones, Milka Kirova, Travis Nesmith and Meenakshi Pasupathy explores some of the more popular cases in which cointegration is used as a basis for the construction of linear models, and, and runs tests for nonlinearity of the linear combination of the cointegrated variables. The second, by John Conion, Robert Dorsey and Norman Womer estimates the money aggregator function, using a new functional form that has a number of properties which make it useful for representing money aggregator functions. The second part contains five chapters on new approaches to hypothesis testing and data analysis. This includes a new approach to the smoothing problem by Erwin Diewert and Tim Wales and developing tests for a global maximum by Robert Dorsey and Walter Mayer. The final section considers problems of money measurement and debates issue central to the performance of Divisia monetary aggregates. The conclusions are that Divisia monetary aggregates outperform their simple sum counterparts in a range of applications.
