In this paper, we propose a new numerical scheme based on a variation of the standard formulation of the Runge?Kutta method using Taylor series expansion for solving initial value problems (IVPs) in ordinary differential equations. Analytically, the accu...

This article provides a macro-foundation for why the specific value of 2% is a valid inflation target. The approach postulates that innovations generate transactional cost savings by comparison to barter. The optimal velocity of money is derived as a fun...
