Long-Run Demand for Money in Hong Kong: An Application of the ARDL Model

Abstract

We examine the long-run demand for money of Hong Kong using the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) cointegration procedure on quarterly data over the period 1985Q1-1999Q4. Estimation results suggest that HK$M2 is cointegrated with its determinants. In addition, the CUSUM and CUSUMSQ tests confirm the stability of the money demand function.
