Transactions demand, in economic theory, specifically Keynesian economics, is one of the determinants of demand for money (and credit), the others being speculative demand and precautionary demand. Transactions demand is illustrated as a vertical line on the money demand graph. The demand of money is arisen form the absence of perfect snchronization of payments and receipts. The holding of money is to bridge the gap between payments and receipts. Transaction demand for money is due to the household motive to hold money for daily transaction and the business motive to facilitate the daily operation. The transactions demand for money is positively related with the amount of real income.It also depends on the timing of expenditures and the length of the pay period.
The Baumol-Tobin model focuses on the optimum number of transactions for a household.
