Abstract

Empirical literature on money demand is mainly based on the estimation of a long run relation by means of time-invariant cointergration approach. Taiwan has experienced the economic and financial regime change since 1979. The purpose of this paper is to test structural breaks in Taiwan long run money demand equation. We examine six of the most influential specifications proposed in the literature. The classical set of explanatory variables (e.g. income and interest rates) is extended on the base of a number underlying economic reasons related to financial, labor and international portfolio characteristics. The results suggest that international financial market variables and the classical specifications are the key determinants of structural instability observed in Taiwan broad money.
