Incomplete record-keeping and optimal payment arrangements
Article Abstract:
Monetary trade is limited by the assumption that money is indivisible and that there is a unit upper bound on the individual holdings of money. Also, outside money and a record of the actions of the others updated with an average lag are the two imperfect ways used to keep track of past actions of others in an environment where trading is hard due to the absence-of-double coincidence, absence of committment and incomplete knowledge of past actions of others. Moreover, it is also found that the limiting effect is relative to possibilities arising from more general individual holdings of money.
