Several theoretical models of money demand imply nonlinear functional forms for the aggregate demand for money, characterized by smooth adjustment toward long-run equilibrium. In this paper, we propose a nonlinear equilibrium correction model of U.S. money demand that is shown to be stable over the sample period from 1869 to 1997.
