Am 27. März hat der Internationale Währungsfonds (IWF) ein Arbeitspapier zum Thema De-Cashing herausgebracht. Aufgezeigt werden die Auswirkungen – oder vielleicht besser Möglichkeiten – der Abschaffung des Bargelds.
Title: The Macroeconomics of De-Cashing
Author: Alexei P Kireyev
Series: Working Paper No. 17/71
Date: March 27, 2017
Summary:
The paper presents a simple framework for the analysis of the macroeconomic implications of de-cashing. Defined as replacing paper currency with convertible deposits, de-cashing would affect all key macroeconomic sectors. The overall macreconomic impact of de-cashing would depend on the balance of growth-enhancing and growth-constraining factors. Starting from a traditional saving-investment balance, the paper develops a four-sector macroeconomic framework. It is purely illustrative and is designed to provide a roadmap for a systematic evaluation of de-cashing. The framework is disaggregated into the real, fiscal, monetary, and external sectors and potential implications of de-cashing are then identified in each sector. Finally, the paper draws a balance on possible positive and negative macroeconomic implications of de-cashing, and proposes policies capable of augmenting its economic and social benefits, while reducing potential costs.
