Using example bulk viscosity, we Bemfica-Disconzi-Noronha-Kovtun (BDNK) Israel-Stewart type, a well-defined transformation gauge...

Thus there is no general consensus to decide which exchange rate regime may bring about less time-inconsistency. The main purpose of this study is to investigate policy time-inconsistency in exchange ...
