Does and Should a Commodity Medium of Exchange Have Relatively Low Storage Costs?
Author InfoRenero, Juan-Manuel Abstract I provide new existence and welfare results for a version of the Kiyotaki-Wright model. I construct an equilibrium where all agents use mixed strategies. Consequently, an object with a higher storage cost must have a higher acceptability. Therefore, the endogenous transaction pattern corresponds to the observation that money is dominated in rate of return by other assets (e.g., bonds), something that is a central issue in monetary economics. Furthermore, at least in a neighborhood of equal storage costs, the equilibrium that I construct Pareto dominates alternative equilibria in which better objects are widely accepted.
