Hyperinflation in Brazil, Israel, and Nicaragua revisited
The aim of this work is to address the description of hyperinflation regimes in economy. The spirals of hyperinflation developed in Brazil, Israel, and Nicaragua are revisited. This new analysis of data indicates that the episodes occurred in Brazil and Nicaragua can be understood within the frame of the model available in the literature, which is based on a nonlinear feedback (NLF) characterized by an exponent $\beta>0$. In the NLF model the accumulated consumer price index carries a finite time singularity of the type $1/(t_c-t)^{(1- \beta)/\beta}$ determining a critical time $t_c$ at which the economy would crash. It is shown that in the case of Brazil the entire episode cannot be described with a unique set of parameters because the time series was strongly affected by a change of policy. This fact gives support to the "so called" Lucas critique, who stated that model's parameters usually change once policy changes. On the other hand, such a model is not able to provide any $t_c$ in the case of the weaker hyperinflation occurred in Israel. It is shown that in this case the fit of data yields $\beta \to 0$. This limit leads to the linear feedback formulation which does not predict any $t_c$. An extension for the NLF model is suggested.

On the nature of monetary and price inflation and hyperinflation
Monetary inflation is a sustained increase in the money supply than can result in price inflation, which is a rise in the general level of prices of goods and services. The objectives of this paper were to develop econom…
3 Lessons from Hyperinflationary Periods
Inflation is painful, for firms, customers, employees, and society. But careful study of periods of hyperinflation point to ways that firms can adapt. In particular, companies need to think about how to change prices reg…
Causal inference for climate change events from satellite image time series using computer vision and deep learning
We propose a method for causal inference using satellite image time series, in order to determine the treatment effects of interventions which impact climate change, such as deforestation. Simply put, the aim is to quant…

There is a random variable (X) with a determined outcome (i.e., X = x0), p(x0) = 1. Consider x0 to have a discrete uniform distribution over the integer interval [1, s], where the size of the sample space (s) = 1, in the…
