What is it about?
Does the representative household's risk aversion level increase money's role in the economy? Risk aversion is an important transmission channel of money's role in the overall economy.

Why is it important?
The paper presents and tests a model of the Eurozone economy to highlight the role of risk aversion and money on economic dynamics. It investigates the impact of money on output and how it depends on the degree of risk aversion in the economy. Overall, it contributes to our understanding of the Eurozone economy and the role of money and risk aversion in it.
Perspectives
Risk aversion influences the effect of monetary aggregates on the economy, and this key finding for policymakers is accepted and used in unconventional monetary policies worldwide.
