Exchange rate changes in Nigeria impact money demand asymmetrically, study finds.
The study looked at how changes in exchange rates affect the demand for money in Nigeria. They used a model that considers the costs of holding money and tested it with different measures of money supply. The results showed that positive and negative changes in exchange rates have different effects on the demand for money, suggesting that the relationship is not symmetrical. This study is the first to look at the new broad money measure (M3).
