      Non-technical summary
      The quantity theory of money (QTM) is a central tenet of monetary economics.

    • Second, panel regressions confirm the presence of long and variable lags in the monetary policy
      transmission, as predicted by Milton Friedman.
    • Introduction
      The quantity theory of money (QTM) is a central tenet of monetary economics and became the
      workhorse model of the Monetarist school in the 20th century.
    • 1 It postulates a stable long-run link
      between the quantity of money and prices and implies that money growth is a key driver of inflation
      over longer horizons.
    • Lucas (2006) emphasized that the monetary pillar of central bank policy decisively
      contributed to reducing inflation when it was too high.
    • In the 1970s and 1980s, central bankers and
      researchers paid much attention to the quantity equation, and many countries pursued monetary targeting
      as their monetary policy strategy (see Table 1).
    • Towards the end of the 20th century, severe velocity
      shocks occurred, thus violating the constant money velocity assumption of the quantity theory.
    • *** insert Table 1 here ***
      This study provides a reassessment of QTM based on panel approaches and using the dataset from
      Jord? et al.
    • (2017) for 18 industrial countries that allow to conduct tests for the very long sample from
      1870 to 2020.
    • The results show that an I(2) modeling strategy is not
      indicated (Juselius, 2021; Assenmacher and Beyer, 2020; Jung and Carcel Villanova, 2020).
    • Within this
      approach, I examine time variation by estimating the regressions for different subsamples and providing
      rolling window regressions of the CCEPMG estimator.
    • Second, panel regressions confirm the presence of long and variable lags in the monetary policy
      transmission, as predicted by Milton Friedman.
    • Notable exceptions are studies based on
      country approaches for the United States and the United Kingdom (e.g., Benati, 2005; Sargent and
      Surico, 2008).
    • Section 4 provides empirical results on the long-run link between excess
      money growth and inflation and section 5 concludes.
    • A well-known implication of the quantity theory is that in the long run (i.e., if V and Yr are fixed),
      the price level is proportional to the money stock, and there is no link between money growth and real
      variables.
    • The empirical literature has focused on the point that ?a given change in the quantity of money
      induces ? an equal change in the rate of price inflation? (Lucas, 1980).
    • The literature suggests that excess money growth, i.e., nominal money in excess of real GDP, is
      more closely related to inflation.
    • Lucas (1980 and 1996) suggested that the link between money growth and inflation may not be
      found in the data owing to statistical noise.
    • Chart 2 illustrates the long-run comovement between money growth and
      inflation for 18 industrial countries between 1900 and 2000.
    • whether a given change in the quantity of money induces
      an equal change in nominal rates of interest.
    • McCandless and Weber (1995) also examined the link between money
      growth and real GDP growth and found no correlation.
    • Testing the validity of the quantity theory may also face some limitations concerning the correct
      measurement of money growth or inflation.
    • Famous researchers have argued that the Divisia approach to calculating monetary aggregates
      would be best suited to test the quantity theory (Barnett, 1980; Lucas, 2000).
