According to the Accounting View of Money (AVM), the money issued by
commercial banks in the form of demand deposits features a hybrid nature, since
deposits can be shown to consist of a share of deposits bearing the
characteristics of debt (debt-deposits) and a share of deposits bearing the
characteristics of equity (equity-deposits), in a mix that depends on factors
that relate to the issuing banks and the environment where they operate and
interact, which may change over time. Following this important finding of the
AVM, it is only consequential to associate the hybrid nature of bank deposits
with the dual nature of the objects which is typical in quantum physics, and to
investigate whether and how the application of quantum analytical methods and
ideas to a form of money showing dualistic features could be used to extract
valuable economic information.Comment: In press in Quantum Economics and Financ
