Inertia of the US Dollar as a Key Currency Through the Two Crises

ABSTRACT This article investigates effects of the global financial crisis (GFC) as well as the euro zone crisis on the position of US dollar as a key currency. We base on a money-in-the-utility model to analyze empirically whether the two crises changed a coefficient on real balance of US dollar in the utility function or its contribution to utility. An empirical result is that the contribution of US dollar to utility decreased during a period when financial institutions faced the US dollar liquidity shortages. The liquidity shortage decreased the contribution of US dollar to utility during the global financial crisis.
