摘要:This paper argues that for economies that have structural rigidities and irregularities, the received knowledge of equilibrium in the demand and supply of money should be interrogated. The paper proposes a third variable – equilibrium bias – to test its significance. Using quarterly time series data for Nigeria from 2008Q1-2016Q2, a money demand function was estimated with the aid of Ordinary Least Square Method in a coefficients and standard errors bootstrap approach. The result found that due to structural rigidities and irregularities in the economy, the variable income though significant posted result against a priori expectation and the equilibrium bias variable was significant which justifies its use.
