I think you meant to say "A dollar tomorrow can be worth more than a dollar today".

  That would be positive time value.

    I believe it would be negative time value? It is generally assumed that in an inflationary economy, a dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow The post above seems to talk about deflation. It's possible we're just using a different sign convention (or perhaps I've missed something more fundamental)

      Yeah, I do think we're just using different sign conventions here, because of inflation and opportunity cost a dollar today should be worth more than a dollar tomorrow.

        A dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow, thats why I have to give you $1.1 tomorrow in exchange for you giving me $1.0 today.
