UK Companies' Demand for Money: An Empirical Study, 1974–1983
Abstract
The article is concerned with company demand for broad money in the post‐Competition and Credit Control period. Equations are estimated for (a) all industrial and commercial companies and (b) a sample of large manufacturing and non‐manufacturing companies. The main findings are (1) that economies of scale in money holdings are only evident for large companies, (2) that only the large manufacturing companies respond significantly to changes in long‐term interest rates and (3) that adjustment of money holdings to changes in income and interest rates is completed within six months.
