Money and velocity during financial crises: from the Great Depression to the Great Recession
Bordo, Michael D.; Duca, John V.; Anderson, Richard G. (2015-05-01)
This study models the velocity (V2) of broad money (M2) since 1929, covering swings in money [liquidity] demand from changes in uncertainty and risk premia spanning the two major financial crises of the last century: the Great Depression and Great Recession. V2 is notably affected by risk premia, financial innovation, and major banking regulations.

These underlying series closely represent the economic growth of Switzerland; but, they also seem unreasonably volatile as proxy measures of total production, and hence, are filtered by moving averages. ...

Does uncertainty about oil prices slow down the economy?
Meisch, Michelle T.; Anderson, Richard G. (2003-10)
It's not the latest jump in oil prices that takes a toll on the economy but the uncertainty over what will happen in the future. But getting a handle on such uncertainty is a difficult task.
