This paper is an attempt to demonstrate the effects of cash-in-advancc constraints on competitive outcomes. We study a simple dynamic cconomy with labor being the only factor of production and assume that the labor market opens before the goods market. We characterize the stationary monetary competitive equilibria (SMCE) of the financially constrained cconomy and show that none of the equilibria coincides with the Arrow-Debreu equilibrium sincc the real wages turn out to be always below the marginal product of labor in SMCE. We also study the neutrality of money and establish the conditions under which an unexpected jump in the money supply may be non-neutral.
