The post-Keynesian ‘demand for credit’ model is a well-cited piece of empirical evidence to support the contention that the money supply is endogenously rather than exogenously determined. In this paper, the model is critically examined and found to be problematic in several ways. Cointegration techniques are used to estimate a similar model using Australian data.
