In this paper we argue that inventory models are probably not usefulmodels of household money demand because the majority of households does nothold any interest bearing assets. The relevant decision for most people is notthe fraction of assets to be held in interest bearing form, but whether to holdany of such assets at all. The implications of this realization are interesting and important. We find that(a) the elasticity of money demand is very small when the interest rate is small,(b) the probability that a household holds any amount of interest bearing assetsis positively related to the level of financial assets, and (c) the cost ofadopting financial technologies is positively related to age and negatively relatedto the level of education. Unlike the traditional methods of money demand estimation, our methodology allowsfor the estimation of the interest--elasticity at low values of the nominalinterest rate. The finding that the elasticity is very small for interest ratesbelow 5 percent suggests that the welfare costs of inflation are small. At interest rates of 6 percent, the elasticity is close to 0.5. We find thatroughly one half of this elasticity can be attributed to the Baumol--Tobin orintensive margin and half of it can be attributed to the new adopters or extensivemargin. The intensive margin is less important at lower interest rates and moreimportant at higher interest rates.

Le Cap-Vert se présente comme une Petite Economie Insulaire, très ouverte à l’extérieur. En effet, parmi les principales spécificités géographiques, économiques et commerciales on pourrait mettre en exergue d’une part l’insularité et l’éloignement ainsi que la petitesse de la population et d’autre part la primauté du secteur des services, le déficit de la balance commerciale ainsi que l’importance des transferts des émigrants, les investissements étrangers, l’aide internationale. L’insertion commerciale internationale de cette PEI est contrainte par de nombreux obstacles. Il s’agit, notamment, de l’impossibilité de réaliser des économies d’échelle, les surcoûts des transports dus à l’insularité et l’éloignement, de la faible diversification de l’offre exportable ainsi que certains obstacles commerciaux internationaux dont les mesures SPS, les OTC et les règles d’origine. Cherchant à remédier à ces obstacles et à améliorer les conditions de son insertion commerciale internationale, le Cap-Vert a fait recours à un ensemble de stratégies. Ainsi, cette insertion est fondée sur des partenariats stratégiques et l’exportation des services.
