The value of inside and outside money
Article Abstract:
The fact that spatial separation and limited communication in an economy implied that trade would take place among agents in a variety of distinct markets, was examined. The result revealed that spatial separation and limited communication could permit outside money to circulate in an economy whose centralized analog does not admit outside money and the reverse can also happen which implies that improvement in communication need not imply a declining role for outside money.

Intermediation and the equilibrium allocation of investment capital
Article Abstract:
An analysis of intermediation and its impact on the equilibrium allocation of investment capital is presented. The analysis considers a model of adverse selection and costly state verification where debt contracts and credit rationing are given. It is shown that information acquisition offers intermediaries a comparative advantage in such markets. In addition, intermediaries also minimize credit rationing and interest rate differentials.
