Description
Summary:This paper adopts the bounds testing procedure developed by Pesaran and others (2001) to test the stability of the long-run money demand for Ghana.

The empirical evidence points to complex dynamics between money demand and its determinants while suggesting that deviations from the equilibrium are rather short-lived.1.
