Abstract
We propose a model in which an unanticipated reduction in the money supply leads to a contemporaneous increase in inventories followed by periods with lower output. This persistent real effect does not require price rigidities or real shocks and confusion. It is obtained in a model of uncertain and sequential trade, in which markets are cleared and agents are price takers.
