This paper investigates why M1 demand rose rapidly in Japan between 1996 and 2002 by applying household analysis. We find that: (1) aging and a widening income gap are responsible for around 10 - 30% of the overall rise in household M1 demand; (2) the growth in M1 demand in households whose head is aged 50 or over and that in poor households account for 70 - 90% of overall growth in M1 demand; and (3) households in which M1 demand rises significantly have relatively high interest elasticities of M1 demand
