Testing the long-run neutrality and superneutrality of money in a developing country: Evidence from Iran.

ABSTRACT: This paper investigates the long-run money neutrality (LMN) and long-run money superneutrality (LMSN) hypothesis for both the industry sector and the entire Iranian economy by using the data of 1979-2018 and applying Fisher and Seater's (1993) ARIMA framework. Conventional unit root tests, including PP, ADF, and KPSS, are applied to determine the order of integration of variables; however, since the structural break in variables is not considered in these methods, Lee-Strazicich and Zivot-Andrews methods are also applied to take it into account. The findings of money neutrality investigation in the Iranian industry sector show that when the monetary base is the criterion, money neutrality is confirmed, but when liquidity and money volume are the criteria, money neutrality is rejected.
