Abstract

Differences in Divisia and simple-sum money arise from appropriate weighing mechanisms in Divisia, which rely on information on the user cost of monetary assets. We show convergence in the growth rate of Divisia M4 and its simple-sum counterpart beginning in early 2009, shortly after the collapse in the Federal Funds rate. This phenomenon results from compression in user costs.
