That would be the 2nd (derivative) right?

That would be the 2nd (derivative) right?
- eyegor 4y agoI believe they're counting inflation itself as a derivative
- lilyball 4y agoInflation is the first derivative. The rate of increase of inflation is the 2nd derivative. The idea that the rate of increase of deflation is itself decreasing would then be the 3rd derivative (think "the rate of the rate of increase of inflation is negative")

- jlrubin 4y agomoney = money(t) inflation = d money / dt rate of increase of inflation = d^2 money / dt^2 rate of change in rate of increase of inflation = d^3 money / dt^3 rate of increase of inflation was decreasing = sign(d^3 money / dt^3)
- moralestapia 4y agoHuh? I parse it as, money = money(t) inflation = d money / dt rate of change (increase or decrease) on inflation = d^2 money / dt^2 ^^^^ and this is the one w/ a low value
- osrec 4y agoIt doesn't have a low value, but it itself is decreasing, thereby referring to money's third derivative.
- moralestapia 4y agoAaaaaah, OK, I see it now.
