We construct a model where agents hold money for transactions purposes, and trade on a sequence of spot markets during a period. Agents choose spending strategies and cash holdings taking into account expected cash flows. Because buying and selling opportunities are idiosyncratic, intra-period heterogeneity in money holdings emerges. Due to this distribution, money transfers may increase output and welfare, in the short-run.
