Open full text 19 citations

Abstract

Demand functions for broad money and foreign currency deposits are estimated using quarterly Mexican data for the period 1978:1 to 2000:4. Significant evidence is found for currency substitution in the broad money equation. While the demand function for foreign currency deposits is harder to interpret, significant evidence of substitution between domestic money balances and US$ deposits is found.
