%X Framing
the analysis of Technology influences in an extended scenario of macroeconomic
topics of the kind of Money Supply, attention is given to changes in economic
paradigms that technology is constantly creating globally, focusing the
research interest in the nature of the relation between cross border E-Commerce online money flows and Money Supply. As
this context requires
to find an explanation that cannot be provided by pre-existing theory, the abduction or abductive approach is considered to be suitable to investigate how far available
data on the matter fits with the stated research subject identified at a
crossroad of Technology Theory, Business Theories and Monetary Theory. The findings disclose that the nature of this relation is rooted in the
Directionality, Dynamism, Intensity and Structural Properties, connected in a
relational net that favors the configuration of a Theoretical body of
knowledge. From the propositions¡¯ relational models shape, a key finding come
into sight as is supported the notion that cross border E-Commerce online money transfer, is a process by
which cash money in circulation (Money Aggregate M1) is transformed into highly
liquid assets other than cash, referred to as Quasi-Money, leading to dynamic
changes for Money Supply net value and in the velocity of money. This view is
consistent with the appreciation that being online money flows one new
additional component of M2, they are absorbed by Money Supply being for that
reason a priority issue for monetary policy interest. The emergent relational
net, outlines a
theory in which recognizing online money flows as a technology derived
component¡ªa technology creature¡ªTechnology influences reach the Economy at
macro level by means of its effects over Money Supply M2 Aggregate. The
