The difference between money and a zero real console or tip-C
If the console pays out an inflation adjustment
Obvious Conjecture
If theres zero conversion cost
At any time
between tip-c and money
This system is stable discounting money
at the market weighted expected instantaneous inflation rate
CB buys all new debt then sells it .....
In our zero real safe rate regime
Can safe rates on secondary markets go where ever they want ?
Consider our fed console the tip-C
Hold to maturity you get inflation protection
If fed zero real manages
Nominal secondary market safe rates
If not then
Treasury must issue
Various term length
Notes and bonds
That insure inflation protection
At maturity by periodic payouts of inflation compensation
Zero real tips
