Price dynamics when there are alternatives to cash payment

Abstract

HEADNOTE

Empirical evidence from the 1980s and 1990s indicates that cash use in the U.S. remains high even though there has been

a proliferation of alternatives to cash. This paper examines the dynamics of inflation and asset prices in response to innovations in the efficiency of processing noncash transactions. The quantitative results suggest that inflation is more sensitive than nominal interest rates or real equity prices to innovations in the efficiency of non-cash payments processing. Thus, as alternatives to cash payment become more prominent, the volatility of real interest rates may increase. (JEL E31, E41, G12)
