The quantity theory of money: An empirical analysis for 1870 - 2020
This study revisits the Quantity Theory of Money (QTM) by examining the relationship between excess money growth and inflation over 150 years (1870–2020) in 18 industrialized countries. Utilizing the Jordà-Schularick-Taylor Macrohistory Database and advanced econometric techniques, the research uncovers that the strength of this long-run relationship has varied across time and different monetary regimes: it was weak during the classical gold standard and the recent age of inflation targeting, whereas it was strong after World War I and before the Great Moderation. The money-inflation link has been very reliable in high-inflation regimes but was unreliable in low-inflation environments. The empirical analysis also confirms long and variable lags in the transmission of monetary impulses to inflation, with excess money growth impacting inflation after 2 to 2½ years.
期刊介绍:
Since its inception in 1979, the Journal of Macroeconomics has published theoretical and empirical articles that span the entire range of macroeconomics and monetary economics.
