Abstract

ABSTRACTThis article investigates effects of the global financial crisis (GFC) as well as the euro zone crisis on the position of US dollar as a key currency. We base on a money-in-the-utility model to analyze empirically whether the two crises changed a coefficient on real balance of US dollar in the utility function or its contribution to utility. An empirical result is that the contribution of US dollar to utility decreased during a period when financial institutions faced the US dollar liquidity shortages. The liquidity shortage decreased the contribution of US dollar to utility during the global financial crisis.
