CONCLUSION
This chapter covered different aspects and parts of modelling, analyzing and predicting money supply. It encompasses modelling money supply in India by both official and independent economists.
In the theoretical discourses backing the models it distinguished traditional literature of monetary economics and policy from the emerging approaches towards accommodating structuralism. From statistical side it distinguished between classical and time series models and also betweenthe works on bi-directional and uni-directional causalities. Finally it pointed out certain issues around inapplicability of the pre-crisis period approaches in the post-crisis period and made some recommendations along with further research directions.

KEY TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
Co-Integration: If an exogenous variable is regressed on an endogenous variable both having the same order of integration, and the error terms turn up to be perfectly stationary, these two variables are called to be cointegrated.
Error Correction: When two variables are cointegrated, there may be short term deviation from their long run equilibrium values. Then the short term value of one variable changes depending on the short term value of the other variable as well as the error term, and gradually move towards its own long equilibrium value. This process is known as error correction.
Granger Causality: When an exogenous variable depends in statistically significant manner on an endogenous variable and the lagged values of both, the latter variable is said to Granger-cause the former variable.
Inflation: Rise in prices measured by wholesale prices (WPI).
Money: There are four definitions of money out of which is used mostly for econometric exercises is the broad money or M3 = currency with public + demand deposits with the banking system + other deposits with RBI + time deposits with the banking system.
Money Supply: Synonymous with ‘money’.
Output: Production in the country measured as Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Sometimes it indicates industrial output measured by IIP also.
Price: Here wholesale price index (WPI).
Stationarity: The property of a time series variable to have constant mean and variance at different points of time. Violation of this property makes the variable non-stationary. In order to make it stationary differences are taken, e.g. difference between the values of current period and previous period or second previous period. Accordingly the variable is called to be integrated of first order or second order.
Vector Auto Regression (VAR): Regression of one endogenous variable upon another and their lagged values - both having the same order of integration and the equations are without any identification problem, i.e. there are unique equilibrium values of each variable - is called VAR.
ENDNOTES
1 Standard international economics literature like Krugman and Obstfeld (2003) described four following reasons behind Central Bank intervention in exchange rate movement: (a) Current Practice: The present monetary system of the world is a mix of fixed and flexible exchange rate systems. A country following an unmixed fixed/flexible exchange rate system is a rare instance. (b) Regional Agreements: There are pacts/agree- ments among different countries, whereby they try to maintain a mutually agreed level of exchange rates amongst themselves, but allow exchange rates to fluctuate against outsider countries. (c) Countries in Transition: Nearly half of the countries of the world are going through economic transition towards a more capitalist system from a less capitalist system. (5) Experts Opinion: There is a debate among economists and policy makers regarding which of the fixed and the flexible exchange rate systems is better. So the governments cannot decide which system is more beneficial.
2 Reserve currency system is a fixed exchange rate system. In this system, the Central Bank of each country singles out one foreign currency as reserve currency and holds the reserve currency in its international reserves. The Central Banks in this case are ready to sell/buy the reserve currency in exchange for the domestic currency in the foreign currency market, whenever required, with a view to maintaining the fixed exchange rate between reserve and home currencies. US dollar has been the reserve currency between 1939 and 1973 and by and large all countries of the world peg their currencies to US dollar. The reserve currency system gives an advantage to that country (henceforth c alled the reserve currency’s country RCC) whose currency is considered reserve currency. The RCC need not intervene in the foreign currency, because other countries maintain the exchange rate between RCC and their countries. Secondly the reserve currency system puts the RCC in a privileged position because it can control other countries’ monetary policies through it’s own monetary policy by means of influencing the exchange rate between the reserve currency and other countries’ currencies. If USA increases it’s own money supply then ceteris paribus value of Indian rupee appreciates. This may cause a balance of payment problem for India, because imports become cheaper and exports become costlier. So India has to increase her money supply in order to devalue Indian rupee vis-a-vis US dollar.
