The paper employs an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model using a two equation technique that includes cointegration and an error-correction model (ECM). The cointegration model estimates the long-run relation that might exists between the dependent variable and the explanatory variables, and the ECM determines the short-run relationship between money demand and its determinants. Recent studies (Nell, 1999; Moll, 1999; Jonsson, 2001; and Nell, 2003) found inconclusive results with regard to the stability of M3, as a monetary policy tool. While some researchers (Jonsson, 2001 and Nell, 1999) found significant relationship between M3 and its determinants, others (Moll 2000; Nell, 2003) concluded that there was no stable relationship between M3 and its determinants, with the level of inflation used as one of the determinants. Nevertheless, the test for stability conducted in this paper shows that the money demand function employed in the model is stable. The paper also found a strong and stable positive relationship between money demand and inflation, which shows that M3 as a policy tool is stable and can be used to target the level of inflation in South Africa. While previous studies did not employ statistical techniques that establish a long- and a short-run relationship between M3 and its determinants, this paper's contribution to literature is to establish a stable long- and short-run relationship between money demand and its determinants in the context of structural breaks. The paper found that structural breaks arising from changes in monetary and exchange policies had significant impacts on money demand, as expected,while changes in the political regime did not have a significant impact on money demand. In general, the results suggest that the demand for money function employed in this paper is stableItem Financial development and economic growth in Namibia(2008) Mushendami, Postrick L.Abstract provided by authorItem Analysis of the revenue implications of trade liberalization on Namibia in the context of Southern African Customs Union(2008) Sikanda, Oscar S.Abstract provided by authorItem Item An analysis of the effects of exchange rate volatility on exports in Namibia(2009) Shipanga, Eden T.Abstract provided by authorItem The effect of policy reforms on the performance of the telecommunication industry in SADC(2009) Jakobs, Benjamin;Item An analysis of electricity demand in Namibia(2009) Kavezeri, Kasnath J.This study analyze the demand for electric ity in Namibia as a function of income and the price of electricity, using quarterly data from 1993 :QI to 2006 :Q4. The tudy employs various econometric techniques such a unit root tests and the Engle-Granger approach to testing cointegration so as to establish the long-run relationship between the variables. lt also applies an Error Correction Model (ECM) to cater for the short-run dynamics and to verify the long-run, or equilibrium relationship suggested by the cointegration test. The results show a significant impact of changes in income on the demand for electricity in both the long- and the short-run. Income elasticity is above unity ( 1.02) in the long-run and i 0.33 in the short run.
