Abstract
A prominent test of long‐run monetary neutrality (LRMN) involves regressing long‐horizon output growth on long‐horizon money growth. We obtain limited support for LRMN with this test in long‐annual Australian, Canadian, UK and US samples. Although empirical confidence intervals yield evidence in favour of LRMN, Monte Carlo experiments reveal the power of this test is near its size. Thus, this test is unlikely to detect important deviations from LRMN. These problems arise because the long‐horizon regression test of LRMN relies on estimates of the covariance of long‐horizon output growth and long‐horizon money growth.

We develop a two-sector monetary economy with human capital accumulation and a cash constraint applied to both consumption and investment to examine the ways in which social status affects the impact of monetary policy on the long-run economic growth rate. Our findings suggest that the formation of
