THE TIMING OF MARKETS AND MONETARY TRANSFERS IN CASH-IN-ADVANCE ECONOMIES

In cash‐in‐advance models, do the timing of markets and the timing of the monetary transfer affect equilibrium money demand? The timing of markets generates different individual money demands; however, under the common assumption that agents are identical, these differences do not affect the behavior of equilibrium real balances. In contrast, the timing of the monetary transfer has important implications for agent's information sets; these implications can influence the equilibrium characteristics of real balances.
