[unpleasant] Editorial Suggestions

[HumphreyYang]

Suggestions by @SylviaZhaooo.

Code

• Give a more efficient plot function @SylviaZhaooo.

Content

• Money Supplies and Price Levels is not found. Would this links to lecture 26?
• Should we specify that $\gamma_1$ and $\gamma_2$ are positive?
• polcy -> policy
• In "our lecture on the dynamic Laffer curve for the inflation tax", which lecture should we link to?
• In "For reasons described at the end of this lecture", should this be a link to another lecture?
• In the formula below, we have the sum $\sum_{j=0}^\infty \lambda^j m_{1+j}$. However, we cannot get $m_{0}$ in the second line with $j=0$ and $m_{1+j}$

$$
\begin{aligned}
p_0  &= \gamma_1^{-1} \left[ \sum_{j=0}^\infty \lambda^j m_{1+j} \right] \cr
 &= \gamma_1^{-1} \left[ \sum_{j=0}^{T-1} \lambda^j m_{0} + \sum_{j=T}^\infty \lambda^j m_{1+j} \right]
\end{aligned}
$$

• "We define a mapping from $p_0$ to $p_0$ as follows." -> "We define a mapping from $p_0$ to $\hat p_0$ as follows."
• Add a period for the sentence "Given parameters include...".
• Reiterate that the algorithm is trying to find a fixed point.
• "... initially the same as in our lecture on “Money and Inflation”." Which lecture should we link to?
• Bold face is reserved for definitions, and italics are reserved for emphases.
• Suggest a motivation for $R_u$ (@SylviaZhaooo).
• Use the title "Some Unpleasant Monetarist Arithmetic".
• Link Wikipedia for Latter curve.
• Readers guide and algorithm should be put into admonitions.

@thomassargent30 , are you able to help with the following questions listed above?

• In "our lecture on the dynamic Laffer curve for the inflation tax", which lecture should we link to?
• In "For reasons described at the end of this lecture", should this be a link to another lecture?
• "... initially the same as in our lecture on “Money and Inflation”." Which lecture should we link to?

Also, I'm suggesting that we change the title to the original "Some Unpleasant Monetarist Arithmetic", which I like.

• In "our lecture on the dynamic Laffer curve for the inflation tax", which lecture should we link to?

Inflation rate Laffer Curves i.e. https://intro.quantecon.org/money_inflation_nonlinear.html

• In "For reasons described at the end of this lecture", should this be a link to another lecture?

https://intro.quantecon.org/money_inflation.html

• "... initially the same as in our lecture on “Money and Inflation”." Which lecture should we link to?

https://intro.quantecon.org/money_inflation.html

Also, I'm suggesting that we change the title to the original "Some Unpleasant Monetarist Arithmetic", which I like.

Yes, please.

thanks to everyone who made these suggestions

Thanks so much @thomassargent30. I will implement them.

Update: implemented via #447
