Money Demand and the Potential of Seigniorage in China
Geneviève Boyreau Debray
Abstract. Since 1978 China has been experiencing a strong monetary growth. However annual inflation has not exceeded 20%. One of the outcomes has been a high level of seigniorage. This paper looks for the factors that have enabled to collect this quasi-inflation-free revenue and asks the question of whether or not China can still rely on this kind of financing. For this purpose, an augmented Cagan's money demand is specified which takes into account the transitional characteristics of this economy. A Laffer type model is derived from it and provides an analysis of the dynamics of the potential of seigniorage.
Résumé. La Chine connaît, depuis le lancement de ses réformes en 1978, un taux de croissance monétaire de grande ampleur qui n’a pas entraîné d’inflation excessive. Une des conséquences a été un niveau de seigneuriage important, de l’ordre de 7% du PIB par an. Nous recherchons les facteurs de ce revenu par la création monétaire, au travers de la spécification d’une demande de monnaie adaptée aux caractéristiques chinoises. Ces facteurs sont principalement la monétisation de l’économie et le développement financier. De cette demande de monnaie est dérivé un modèle d’inflation/seigneuriage de type “Laffer”, qui permet d’analyser l’évolution du potentiel de ce revenu.
