Diamond & Dybvig (1983) created a model to study the economics of banking and associated policy disputes.

And as per him, this does not require anyone to hold risk-free or fixed-value assets. (Cochrane, 2013). However, Krugman (2014) made a controversial comment on Cochrane proposal saying “the manager of your index fund sells a tiny piece of your stock portfolio every time you use a debit card at 7-11. Is this
