| Research Abstract |
The reserch has achieved substantial contributions to monetary theory. The basic concept of the developed theory is that money can circulate (the equilibrium price is bounded) because its rationally expected future value is stable (i.e., people are confident on the value of money). This assertion is formulated by a first order difference equation of the equilibrium price sequence, which is independent of the nominal money supply. This equation implies that money is intrisically non-neutral. Based on this equation, we have established a microeconomic foundation of Keynesian economics, which is compatible with neoclassical microeconomics in the sense that the theory excludes entirely ad-hoc money in the utility assumption and menu costs. The Fruits of the research are disseminated via three books (in Japanese) and twenty papers in refereed academic Journals in English.
