Clearinghouse banks and banknote over-issue

Article Abstract:

A model of banks that serve as clearinghouses of private debt where money is used as means of payment is presented. It is noted that the private provision of banknotes or a discount window may be needed to avoid the insufficient debt clearing which comes from an inflexible currency stock. An uncontrolled total money stock may also lead to a multiplicity of equilibria which includes an inflationary banknote over-issue.
