Authenticating electronic cash transactions

Within the past decade, the nature of the Internet has changed from an academic and research-orientated communication medium to a booming business infrastructure. Along with the flourish of commercial World Wide Web sites has come an intensified interest in a new form of money which can be electronically exchanged over the Internet. Given the history of money, with its evolution from barter to proxies to paper notes, cheques and automated transfers, the innovation of electronic money was perhaps inevitable, although its widespread acceptance is uncertain.

A history of money: from ancient times to the present day

This is a straight-forward accout of the central importance of money in the ordinary business life of different peoples throughout the ages from ancient times to the present day. In the first half of the book, money consists mainly of physical commodities, especially coins. In the second half, abstract forms of credit, mainly paper, predominate, culminating in the prospect of universally acceptable, electronically transferable forms of money. The author demonstrates that the supply of money tends to alternate in every age between too little and too much, with the pendulum swinging from excessive concern with the quality of money to the opposite extreme of an inflationary, excessive quantity of money.

Monetary Announcements and Interest Rate Responses

There is much evidence available showing that interest rates rise in response to unexpectedly large money stock (M1) announcements [3;6; 12; 14; 15; 16]. Some studies that have examined the interest rate response to monetary base announcements, however, have failed to isolate any systematic response to these surprises [4;5]. Such a finding warrants further consideration. Many believe that the monetary base is a good summary measure of monetary policy. Others argue that the monetary base is an accurate indicator of future inflation [7]. Since both a policy anticipation effect and an inflationary expectation effect have been offered to explain why money stock announcements affect interest rates, it would appear that monetary base announcements should also matter. The nonexistence of a monetary base announcement effect is especially difficult to understand since the monetary base, for a given statement week, is announced one week prior to the money stock number for that same week. This suggests the financial markets may be inefficient in processing information. An important aim of the present paper is to consider the information content of monetary base announcements. The first section of this paper argues that the monetary base may not be the pure monetary policy indicator some suggest. In particular, under a lagged reserve accounting system, many of the subsequent innovations in the base can be foretold by earlier money stock announcements. Contrary to suggestions of earlier analysis, the money stock announcements are likely to lead monetary base announcements. Also, of importance is the recognition that the monetary base includes currency and discount window borrowings. Since the Fed does not try to exercise short-term control over either of these elements of the base, their movements will not reflect policy actions. The analysis of monetary base announcements suggests that Federal Reserve announcements of discount window borrowing, however, may carry important information to financial markets, over and above the money supply announcement. While discount window borrowings are included in the monetary base, it is felt that this element alone carries important information to the financial community. The third section of this paper investigates whether or not the unexpected element of these borrowing announcements has an

From Gold To Money

J. К. Galbraith begins his book on the history and current problems of money with the following statement: “There is much that is diverting in the history of money, but even more that provides a rich reflection of human behavior and human folly.”

The history of money is several thousand years old., since, it is said, the Chinese first put coins into circulation in about 1100 B.C.

The Beginnings of the Economic History Society

T THE Economic History Society was founded in July I926 and the first issue of the Economic History Review, which the Society was created to sustain, appeared six months later. This jubilee provides a suitable opportunity to look back, and perhaps reflect, upon the Society's growth and especially upon its beginnings and earlier history, of which very few members now have personal knowledge. It will be seen at a glance from the individual membership statistics in Table i that the Society made no headway at all during its first twenty years. It was kept alive-and then only with outside help-by the growing reputation of the Review and the willingness of more and more libraries to buy it. In the later I940's, however, the great expansion began and all was very different for the next twenty years. But since the later i960's history has to some extent repeated itself as individual membership has ceased to grow while library subscriptions have continued to increase. Yet comparison goes no further than that, for the Society, now well established financially, has so far experienced none of its earlier money problems, nor has there been any reduction in support for its conferences or group activities. Quite the reverse, in fact. The upward movement of individual membership after I 947 was, of course, based upon the increase in posts in economic history in universities and other fields of higher education which led to the training of more specialists in the subject. The increase in interest was reflected in a greater flow first of articles and then of books, which is discussed elsewhere in this issue by Mr Harte. The initial impulse, however, came from economics in the shape of members from the Royal Economic Society. (Its issues of Economic History, the origins of which

Coins and Coinage in Viking-Age Norway

Abstract Although numismatics is one of our oldest disciplines in the humanities, dating back to renaissance Italy, a doctoral thesis on coins and currency history is still unusual, largely because in many countries no systematic university teaching on the subject exists. Oslo University is the only one in Scandinavia where it is possible to take a basic examination in numismatics, and, significantly, it was from here that Skaare, former head of the university's coin cabinet, delivered his doctoral thesis, Coins and Coinage in Viking-Age Norway.
