Abstract

This paper explores (he theoretical and empirical effect of automated teller machines (ATMs) technology on the share of demand deposits in the money supply. Our hypothesis is that the introduction of ATMs increases deposits at the expense of currency holdings. This hypothesis is theoretically established within a framework of a simple model describing the individual's cost functions of holding demand deposits and currency and is empirically confirmed on the basis of the Israeli experience.
