摘要

米尔顿-弗里德曼（Milton Friedman）和戴维-梅塞尔曼（David Meiselman）1963 年发表的文章《1897-1958 年美国货币速度与投资乘数的相对稳定性》是 20 世纪 60 年代和 70 年代凯恩斯主义与货币主义争论中最具影响力的研究之一。然而，这篇文章的酝酿过程却存在相当多的不准确和模糊之处。我利用档案资料，按时间顺序对文章的酝酿过程进行了更为准确的梳理。我表明，该文章的酝酿经历了相当长的时间。我提供的理由解释了为什么长期承诺的后续论文从未完成，以及为什么弗里德曼1956年《货币数量理论研究》的续集一书在弗里德曼和梅塞尔曼1963年的文章发表后不久就计划作为合编作品出版，但直到1970年才由梅塞尔曼单独编辑出版。

THE LONG AND UNFINISHED ROAD TO FRIEDMAN AND MEISELMAN’S “THE RELATIVE STABILITY OF MONETARY VELOCITY AND THE INVESTMENT MULTIPLIER”

Milton Friedman and David Meiselman’s 1963 article, “The Relative Stability of Monetary Velocity and the Investment Multiplier in the United States, 1897–1958,” was one of the most influential studies to come out of the Keynesian-monetarist debates of the 1960s and 1970s. The gestation of the article, however, is shrouded with considerable inaccuracy and ambiguity. I use archival materials to provide a more accurate chronological ordering of the gestation of the article than has hitherto been available. I show that the gestation was subject to considerable delays. I provide reasons that explain why a long-promised follow-up paper was never completed and why a book sequel to Friedman’s 1956 Studies in the Quantity Theory of Money, planned as a co-edited work shortly after the appearance of the Friedman and Meiselman 1963 article, was not published until 1970 and was edited by Meiselman alone.
