Vitesse de circulation de la monnaie et tableau économique chez les pré-classiques

摘要

In Petty, Boisguilbert and Cantillon 's works we find explanatories variables, basis of the income velocity of money and of payments frequency within monetary circuit. These concepts will be used as starting point of the elaboration of Fisher relation. Velocity of money is studied in view of adjusting quantities where the production activity, the ways and customs manage the payments practices. From the outset, money velocity explanation is social. Agents are taken into account in so far as they are the starting or coming points of monetary flows. The nature of their connections governs economic circuit. Cantillon compares monetary and real flows, he doesn't find out but explains money velocity. He studies how an extension of circuit or a modification in the synchronized agents' paiements can influence money velocity. He computes how many weeks money takes to travel through the circuit, and so does the holding agents' money. His analysis leads to an anticipation of the liquidities approach of monetary theory.
