Abstract
Regarding the differences among firms on financial position and access to various financial resources, the selection of a proper variable, which represents actual cost of capital of a firm, is of great importance in explaining the firms demand for money. In order to improve the estimation of interest rate elasticity of demand for money by manufacturing firms, this paper computes the cost of capital for each firm. Using firm level panel data for 161 manufacturing companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange, the demand for money is estimated over the period 2000 to 2010. It is found that (a) the firms in which the cost of capital is higher, have low real balances; (b) the average cost of capital and its variations implies that the weight of cost of capital should be reexamined by monetary authority; and (c) the sensitivity of demand for money to fluctuations in wage is more than to interest rate.

Abstract
High and unpredictable inflation rates reduce the demand for domestic money and increase the demand for alternative assets such as foreign currency. Currency substitution is a situation in which foreign currency is replaced for domestic money in doing monetary functions. The purpose of this article is to investigate the factors affecting currency substitution in Iran, with emphasis on inflation uncertainty. For this purpose, based on the data of 1978-2018, the degree of currency substitution is obtained using the Kamin-Ericsson (2003) method and the EGARCH model is used to calculate inflation uncertainty. The estimation of an autoregressive distributed lag model show that in the short- and long-run, rising inflation leads to increased currency substitution. Inflation uncertainty in the short run increases currency substitution after three lags. In the long run, inflation uncertainty has a positive relationship and economic growth has a significant inverse relationship with currency substitution. Given the impact of inflation and its uncertainty on currency substitution, inflation control policies should be considered by policymakers.
