A Framework for Analyzing Monetary Policy in an Economy with E-Money

Abstract

Dans cette étude, nous analysons une économie où la monnaie fiduciaire émise par la banque centrale est en concurrence avec la monnaie électronique émise par une entité privée. Nous étudions les issues d’un jeu dans lequel la banque centrale et l’émetteur de monnaie électronique établissent leur propre politique et faisons une série de constats. 1) La politique monétaire optimale de la banque centrale dépend de la politique de l’émetteur privé et peut s’écarter de la règle de Friedman. 2) Il pourrait exister des équilibres multiples. 3) Lorsque l’économie fonctionne presque sans numéraire, la politique optimale de la banque centrale accroît le pouvoir de marché de l’émetteur de monnaie électronique et peut entraîner un léger recul du bien-être ainsi qu’une hausse minime de l’inflation. 4) L’optimum de premier rang ne peut être atteint.

This paper considers an economy where central-bank-issued fiat money competes with privately issued e-money. We study a policy-setting game between the central bank and the e-money issuer and find (1) the optimal monetary policy of the central bank depends on the policy of the private issuer and may deviate from the Friedman rule; (2) multiple equilibria may exist; (3) when the economy approaches a cashless state, the central bank’s optimal policy improves the market power of the e-money issuer and can lead to a discrete decrease in welfare and a discrete increase in inflation; and (4) first best cannot be achieved.
