FYI Are We Headed for a Cashless Society?
• Predictions of a cashless society have been around for decades
• E-money might be more convenient and efficient than a payments system based on paper
• Several factors work against the disappearance of the paper system
• The use of e-money will likely still increase in the future

Measuring Money
• How do we measure money? Which particular assets can be called “money”?
• Construct monetary aggregates using the concept of liquidity
• M1+– the narrowest definition is called M1+ – includes: currency in circulation + chequable deposits at
chartered banks, TMLs, and CUCPs – these assets are all extremely liquid

Growth Rates of Monetary Aggregates
• Does it matter which measure of money is considered?• Aggregates can move in different directions in the short
run (see figure 3-2)• Conclusion: the choice of monetary aggregate is
important for policymakers

Money as a Weighted Aggregate
• The Bank of Canada’s money supply measures are ‘simple-sum’ indices, the index
M = x1 + x2 + … + xn ,
where xj is one of the n monetary components of the monetary aggregate M
• Weighted monetary aggregates seem to predict inflation and the business cycle somewhat better than the conventional measures

How Reliable are the Money Data?
• Revisions are issued because:– small depository institutions report infrequently– adjustments must be made for seasonal variation
• We probably should not pay much attention to short-run movements in the money supply numbers but should be concerned only with longer-run movements
