Abstract

Sectoral money demand functions are estimated using flow of funds data. Cointegrating relationships are found for household and (nonfinancial) busniness sectors. Estimated error-correction models for both sectors, however, exhibit parameter nonconstancy for time periods which roughly correspond with important financial innovations and deregulations. Thus, sectoral estimates of money demand relationships are consistent with the view that innovations and deregulation contribute to the nonstationarity M1 velocity.
