We document that, across households, the money consumption ratio increases with age and decreases with consumption, and that there has been a large increase in the money consumption ratio during the recent era of very low interest rates. We construct an overlapping generations (OLG) model of money holdings for transaction purposes subject to age (older households use more money), cohort (younger generations are exposed to better transaction technology), and time effects (nominal interest rates affect money holdings).2018-08-23T10:51:42+00:00enThe Welfare Cost of Inflation Revisited: The Role of Financial Innovation and Household Heterogeneity2018-08-23Inflation: costs and benefitsStaff Working Paper 2018-40https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/swp2018-40.pdfThe Welfare Cost of Inflation Revisited: The Role of Financial Innovation and Household HeterogeneityShutao CaoCésaire MehJosé-Víctor Ríos-RullYaz TerajimaAugust 2018EE2E21E4E41
