48 results for Time Value of Money

Depreciation methods ignore the Time Value of Money, leading to suboptimal asset valuation.

result A new depreciation method improves asset valuation, aiding better purchase and sale decisions.
The Dynamics of Moneycond-mat.stat-mech

We present a dynamical many-body theory of money in which the value of money is a time dependent ``strategic variable'' that is chosen by the individual agents. The value of money in equilibrium is not fixed by the equations, and thus represents a continuous symmetry. The dynamics breaks this continuous symmetry by fix…

The determinants of the velocity of money have been examined based on life-cycle hypothesis. The velocity of money can be expressed by reciprocal of the average value of holding time which is defined as interval between participating exchanges for one unit of money. This expression indicates that the velocity is govern…

A new currency DCM reduces logistics costs and preserves wealth.

problem High logistics costs associated with commodity money.
method Introducing Decayed Commodity Money (DCM) with an attenuation coefficient based on logistics costs.
result DCM offers a cost-effective and wealth-preserving alternative to traditional currency.

The stability of money value is an important requisite for a functioning economy, yet it critically depends on the actions of participants in the market themselves. Here we model the value of money as a dynamical variable that results from trading between agents. The basic trading scenario can be recast into an Ising t…

Refundable income annuities offer a money-back guarantee, now the majority of sales.

problem The complexity and market neglect of refundable income annuities.
method Explained the pricing, duration, and money's-worth-ratio of refundable IAs, proving a counterintuitive price behavior.
result The market price of cash-refund IAs is not a declining function of age, and older buyers might pay more than younger ones.
Money and Goldstone modescond-mat.stat-mech

Why is ``worthless'' fiat money generally accepted as payment for goods and services? In equilibrium theory, the value of money is generally not determined: the number of equations is one less than the number of unknowns, so only relative prices are determined. In the language of mathematics, the equations are ``homoge…

The paper reveals the hidden costs of digitizing commodity money and proposes a new stable-coin system.

problem Depreciation of banknotes due to high logistics costs after digitization.
method Analyzing the functions of money from a logistics perspective and comparing commodity money to digital currency.
result There is no honest money that is both a store of value and has negligible logistics costs.

This review is about the convenience, the benefits, as well as the destructive capacities of money. It deals with various aspects of money creation, with its value, and its appropriation. All sorts of money tend to get corrupted by eventually creating too much of them. In the long run, this renders money worthless and …

We have studied the statistical mechanics of money circulation in a closed economic system. An explicit statistical formulation of the circulation velocity of money is presented for the first time by introducing the concept of holding time of money. The result indicates that the velocity is governed by behavior pattern…

We propose a class of discrete-time stochastic models for the pricing of inflation-linked assets. The paper begins with an axiomatic scheme for asset pricing and interest rate theory in a discrete-time setting. The first axiom introduces a "risk-free" asset, and the second axiom determines the intertemporal pricing rel…

An agent-based computational economical toy model for the emergence of money from the initial barter trading, inspired by Menger's postulate that money can spontaneously emerge in a commodity exchange economy, is extensively studied. The model considered, while manageable, is significantly complex, however. It is alrea…

Transformer learns representations from time series data for money laundering detection.

problem Detecting money laundering using structured time series data.
method Contrastive learning for representation learning, followed by scoring and thresholding.
result Transformer outperforms rule-based and LSTM methods in detecting money laundering with controlled false positives.

We consider the ideal-gas models of trading markets, where each agent is identified with a gas molecule and each trading as an elastic or money-conserving (two-body) collision. Unlike in the ideal gas, we introduce saving propensity λλ of agents, such that each agent saves a fraction λλ of its money and trades with t…

Our study proposes a new currency system to protect wealth from over-issued fiat and stablecoins.

problem The over-issuance of fiat and stablecoins undermines the stability of currency purchasing power.
method We introduce a parallel monetary system based on redeemable self-decaying money (RSDM) to provide a stable currency alternative.
result A parallel monetary system including RSDM, domestic fiat, and major reserve currencies can safeguard wealth and prevent the reverse Gresham law.

Recently, in order to explore the mechanism behind wealth or income distribution, several models have been proposed by applying principles of statistical mechanics. These models share some characteristics, such as consisting of a group of individual agents, a pile of money and a specific trading rule. Whatever the trad…

In this paper the dependence of wealth distribution and the velocity of money on the required reserve ratio is examined based on a random transfer model of money and computer simulations. A fractional reserve banking system is introduced to the model where money creation can be achieved by bank loans and the monetary a…

problem Determining the relationship between US money supply and asset indices growth.
method Information entropy methodology applied to US asset indices (Property, Russell 2000, S&P 500, NASDAQ) over 2001-2019.
result Growth in US broad money supply is the main determinant of US asset indices growth, especially the NASDAQ and Russell 2000.

The paper analyzes risk assessment for cash flows in continuous time using the notion of convex risk measures for processes. By combining a decomposition result for optional measures, and a dual representation of a convex risk measure for bounded \cd processes, we show that this framework provides a systematic approach…

Research predicts money market volume based on capital market and bank rates ratio.

method Correlation matrix and time series model to predict money market volume.
result Predictive model for money market instrument volume based on historical data.

In a closed economic system, money is conserved. Thus, by analogy with energy, the equilibrium probability distribution of money must follow the exponential Gibbs law characterized by an effective temperature equal to the average amount of money per economic agent. We demonstrate how the Gibbs distribution emerges in c…

This paper presents an axiomatic scheme for interest rate models in discrete time. We take a pricing kernel approach, which builds in the arbitrage-free property and provides a link to equilibrium economics. We require that the pricing kernel be consistent with a pair of axioms, one giving the inter-temporal relations …
