Implementing the Friedman Rule

In cash-in-advance models, necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an equilibrium with zero nominal interest rates and Pareto optimal allocations place restrictions only on the very long-run, or asymptotic, behavior of the money supply. When these asymptotic conditions are satisfied, they leave the central bank with a great deal of flexibility to manage the money supply over an...

The Friedman Embedding Theorem

In this paper, we will present an explicit construction of Harvey Friedman which to every finitely generated group G associates a 2-generator subgroup KG 6 Sym(N) such that G embeds into KG and such that if G ∼= H, then KG = KH .

Oscillating Friedman Cosmology

The non-singular, oscillating Friedman cosmology within the framework of General Relativity is considered. The general oscillatory solution given in terms of elliptic functions and the conditions for its existence are discussed. It is shown that the wall-like-matter and the small, but negative cosmological constant are required for oscillations. The oscillations can , in principle, be deep enou...
