Abstract

This paper deals with the demand for money, including narrow money (M 1) and broad money (M 2) in China. We use the cointegration and error‐correction model to formulate the function of money demand and merge the short‐run and long‐run equations to give forecasts over different horizons. In particular, we combine very simple artificial neural networks (ANNs) with the cointegration and error‐correction model to give a nonlinear model. These models are quarterly models, sampled from the first quarter of 1980 to the fourth quater of 1994, and the multi‐step forecasts are from the first quarter of 1990 to the fourth quarter of1994. Both the fitted values and predictive values for M 1 and M 2 are satisfactory. Finally, we give forecasts for M 2 from the first quarter of 1995 to the second quarter of 1996.
