Abstract

One of the factors negatively affecting economic growth and employment in the advanced economies is cash hoarding. The paper argues that an effective way to reduce cash hoarding is a wealth tax. It is argued that a wealth tax will encourage individuals to invest in high-yield assets, such as equities rather than to hold deposits in banks; and an increase in equity demand will cause equity issuance by companies to increase that will contribute to investment and economic growth.

Keywords: cash hoarding, deposits, economic growth, loans, wealth tax
