Long-run money demand redux: Most economists and central bankers no longer consider money supply measures to be useful for conducting monetary policy.

This column uses data from 32 countries and spanning up to 100 years to argue that the long-run demand for money is alive and well. Results show a remarkable stability in long run money demand, both within and across countries. Nonetheless, short-run departures can be large and persistent, and further research is needed.
