Measuring money
Differentiating for what is money from what isn't a money is difficult
For example, the MMMFs (Money Market Mutual Funds) allows the writing of check, but provides a high return than the checking accounts of bank : Is this money?
There is no single measure for the money stock.
– The M1 monetary aggregate Includes the traveler's checks, currency which is held by
the public, the demand deposits (without interest) and the other deposits (with interest).
All the elements of M1 are utilized in making the payments, thus M1 is the closest measure of money to the theoretical money description.
