Abstract: : In this paper we present a model in which the government
can only finance itself with the income from money creation
(seignorage), it is uncertain about the parameters of the money demand
function, and can learn about them in a Bayesian fashion. We present
the conditions under which learning is valuable, and under which the
optimal response to uncertainty is a monetary expansion. We find that if
there are no large liquidity or Tobin effects, and if the government is
very uncertain about... (Update)
