摘要:The introduction of banks that issue money and supply balances and pay
out their profits as dividends is the natural modification of the model of general
competitive equilibrium that encompasses monetary economies with an operat-
ive transactions technology.
Monetary policy sets nominal rates of interest and accommodates the de-
mand for balances; alternatively, it sets the supply of balances and rates of
interest adjust for money markets to clear.
Competitive equilibria exist.
Under uncertainty, monetary policy fails to determine the distribution of
the rate of inflation or the allocation of resources at equilibrium. If, in addition
to rates of interest, monetary policy sets the prices of contingent loans subject
to no-arbitrage constraints, or targets the distribution of the terminal level of
prices, it lifts the multiplicity.
