The theoretical frameworks (overlapping generation models and liquidity and market failure models) are used as the basis for the study of topics such as quantity theory of money, inefficiency of inflation, credit markets and credit risk, Tobin Effect, liquidity of assets, etc. A special focus is on the relationship between money growth and inflation, monetary stabilization policy, the interaction between monetary and fiscal policy, and government programs.
