Hey gang! This video was somewhat more outside my wheelhouse and required LOTS more research than my videos typically do, as Econ was never my strongest subject. Economics is (somewhat intentionally) a very touchy, difficult-to-grasp subject. I hope I've done it some justice! If you have any thoughts/feedback on the material, or if you're an economist and have some corrections or more cool info to add, please comment! I'd love to read it.
Not an econ correction, but you stopped giving half away when you lose in Gen 3
Sorry, I dont support team rocket.
Hi. Math nerd here. Your explanation isn't quite right for why you're using e. The equation from earlier is missing the very important n, which is the number of times the rate is increasing/the interest is being compounded/whatever the situation is. So it's P(1+r/n)^(nt). And when you take the limit as n approaches infinity, you get the literal definition of e. Because e = lim(n->inf) (1+1/n)^n. So it's not that the equations produce similar results. It's that when you take the limit as n approaches infinity, you get *the exact same result.* But taking the limit as n approaches infinity is a lot more work than just using e. The former requires calculus, the latter just requires a calculator with an e button.
Depending on the situation, you might actually not want to use e. For example, if you're looking at a bank account that compounds interest quarterly, then you don't want the equation with e in it. You want the equation with n and you want to set n = 4. (quarterly = 4 times) If you use the continuous growth formula (the one with e), your answer would be wrong. But inflation is a case where you do want the continuous growth equation. n, the number of times per year it is growing, is actually approaching infinity. (because it's always growing) That's why the equation with e is more appropriate to use here.
Edit: also I love your videos and keep doing what you're doing!
Edit 2: and if you wanted to show this in a video, I think a table is a good way to see it. Show n and (1+1/n)^n in two columns and plug in increasing values of n. (start with 1, then 2, then maybe 10, 100, 1000) You'll starting getting numbers that are closer and closer to the exact value of e.

Fun fact: In many Pokemon games, the major trainers will give you an amount of money equal to their highest level Pokemon with 2 zeros added. Sydney gives $4,900, Lorelei gives $5,400, etc. This means that Tate&Liza give one of the highest payouts in the franchise because both of their aces are on 42 and they combine their totals to give out $8,400.
Which Sydney reached in Oras because he’s benefiting from inflation
rich babies alert. hoenn always winning
this also applies to every other trainer in those games, just with a different factor based on their trainer class. for example, the rich boys of emerald all give out a whopping 200円 for each level of their strongest pokemon, whereas the bug catchers and campers give out only 16円
@hi-i-am-atan That's actually really interesting and I did not know that. The amount of money the gym leaders and E4 is readily available on Bulbapedia and I visit those pages often, but I never even considered it being a trainer class thing. I wish they had kept doing something similar in more recent games (assuming they aren't, though they might be and I just haven't found the pattern yet).

Something interesting to think about is the Pokemon multiverse -- according to the games, Emerald and ORAS are not the same world split across 10 years, but instead two seperate universes differenciated by the existence of Mega Stones. So then why the economic differences between Hoenns?
While you could argue something about the butterfly effect, I propose that the Mega Stones themselves are the cause of this economic discrepency. The power and exclusivity of Mega Stones gives those with more fortunate backgrounds a major edge in battle; an edge that less fortunate trainers simply can't compete against. While this can already be seen with battle items (our man Winston has a Full Restore ready to use on his lv. 8 Zigzagoon before you even know it is an item that exists), Mega Stones would only drive a further wedge between classes and therefore account for the differences in economies.
Wasn't that also Team Flare's kinda whole thing? That they were this giant tech monopoly very much focused on "exclusivity"?

Here's a new video idea: explaining sound and pressure waves using the whismur line.
Loudred's pokedex entries say that it can destroy a wooden house with its cry while exploud can trigger earthquakes. Exploud in particular can supposedly be heard from 6 miles away and was used to communicate between distant cities in the old times.
-how loud are loudred and exploud?
-what is the relationship between sound and pressure waves (i think sound is a longitudinal pressure wave, right)?
-how would an exploud be used to communicate without causing earthquakes or damage to its own city?
-would morse code be the most practical way to use exploud to communicate since it can't talk?
-what takes more energy: causing an earthquake or destroying a wooden house?
Sound can travel through solids, liquids, and gases as longitudinal waves but shear (transverse) waves, as well as a couple of other types, can travel only through solids. I'm not very knowledgeable on the topic yet but that much I'm certain. Not sure about the rest of your questions though (and to be frank now I'm curious)
Yeah any videos talking about crazy pokedex entries in general sound good to me for this channel.
The problem with that is the science of acoustics is one of the most complicated physics problems that you can do
Big fan of the desert sinkhole background when talking about the US economy.
Sure why not. I gotta get up in 6 hours for work. Why not learn how the Hoenn Region is in a recession.
The main reason for the decrease in prize money is that the multiplier for the trainer class changed from 200x level in gen 3 to 120x level in gen 6, which actually shows that Hoenn is moving away from a gambling based society which could be argued is a good thing :)
but have you considered that gambling is fun and cool
How does that explain later game trainers giving more money than they used to if the overall multiplier is lower though?

Math/finance nerd here. I'm not sure continuous compounding interest is the right choice of formula here, since inflation is inherently measured at discrete intervals.
There are different ways to measure inflation, but the most common is the consumer price index (CPI). At regular intervals, usually monthly, you put together a 'representative basket of goods' - this is a basically a basket of all the goods an average household would spend money in a month, including food, fuel, clothes, health care and so on. Housing costs like rent or mortgage payments are often excluded since they're so expensive they can dominate the whole metric, but when they are included it's called CPIH (CPI including representative housing costs, converting mortgages and homeownership to equivalent rent).
Anyway, getting back to the math. The overall inflation between two points in time is, by definition, one basket price divided by a previous basket price, minus 1. This works great for historical data. You can say things like, in the year 1970, a loaf of bread cost 10p, and in today's money it costs £1.40, so we could say that a loaf of bread has gone up in price by 1300%. Or we could say that 10p in 1970 is now worth £1.40 in today's money, as long as the value of a loaf of bread to humans hasn't fundamentally changed (which is why we need a representative basket of a bunch of things so human values even out. What if everyone's keto suddenly?)
However, overall inflation numbers like these aren't great when comparing different ranges of time. If we look at inflation over 1 month and see that it's 0.2%, what does that mean for the annual inflation target of 2%? Are we on track, ahead or behind schedule? For that, we have to convert to annual equivalent rate (AER).
Due to compounding, we must apply the 0.2% for the month 12 times multiplicatively. This is exponentiation. So, we can just raise that rate to power of the number of times to apply it. So 0.2% per month, over year is 12 multiplications of (1+0.2%) or 1.002^12.
What's neat is we can also convert from a long time period, like 10 years, to an AER by using a fractional power. So if we had 30% inflation over 10 years, as an AER it would be 1.3^(1/10). This is the actual formula that banks use to pay monthly gross interest. Banks will advertise the AER, and then compute the monthly interest by taking it to the power of 1/12. (Actually strictly speaking, they would use a power like 30/365 for a month with 30 days in a non-leapyear)
Continuous compounding interest is something else to do with gross interest versus AER and it's not really relevant here. Banks tend not to market gross annual interest when paying monthly since it's a lower number than AER. Gross interest is the rate you would get if none of the interest compounded. It's simple, in that you can just divide gross annual interest by 12 or 365 and get the monthly or daily interest payment. Obviously though, you'd make a little more if your gross interest is paid monthly since you'd get interest on the interest. You'd make even more if gross interest were paid daily. So more frequent payments result in higher AER, and in the limit, with infinite infinitesimal payments, you have continuous compounding interest. It's the theoretical maximum AER you could get from a gross rate if it were compounded continuously.
But gross rates aren't all that relevant. It generally works the opposite way around, in that a bank decides what the AER should be and then they compute a monthly or daily gross amount from it.
I think the confusion is that with the continuously compounding interest formula you listed, r is the gross annual interest rate, not the AER. And everyone just works with AER when talking about interest rates or inflation rates.
Math
on-finance nerd here. I don't know much about economics but from what I can gather inflation is a continous process that is only sampled at discrete times. If that is the case, wouldn't a continuous time model be a better approximation than the discrete time model?
@@-FFFridge You're right, inflation is continuously happening (I mean, really it's a finite number of price changes of a finite number of products, so it's discrete but with enough small changes that it may as well be continuous).
As you say, the only meaningful way to measure is it is to sample it at two points in time. If you want to model a continuous curve between those points, then the way to do that is with the AER formula. If we sample the price of something at two points in time, we have points (t0, p0) and (t1, p1) that an exponential curve must go through. The AER model for the price at some other time t would be:
p(t) = p0 * (p1/p0)^((t - t0)/(t1 - t0))
This is a continuous exponential function, just like e. You could rewrite it in terms of e, but there will be a natural log somewhere. You can see it goes through our measured points, and you get the AER by with (p(t0 + 1 year)/p0 - 1) * 100%
The difference with the formula adef used and the compounding continuous interest formula is in use-case. That formula comes about when you have a start point (t0, p0) and you're wondering about possible end points given a fixed gross rate and a variable amount compounding payments in a time range. It's not for fitting a curve between two known points, and the way this formula was used (confusing AER with gross) in the video causes the prices to diverge from the points that would be expected. Which he mentioned, but I don't think he really understood why he was getting slightly higher prices than expected. He basically calculated the AER (which is already continuously compounding) and then increased it to make it compounding (as if it were a gross interest that is not continuously compounding) which made the prices get bigger than they should have been

Alternative take: rich boy winston has less money because he picked up a bad burn heal addiction after getting owned so many times
In the "visual metaphor" segment with Swampert knocking out the Bug Catcher's Wrumple, the player's name is Clay. Clay, notoriously wealthy mining tycoon from the Gen 5 games; precisely one of the people in the Pokémon world who'd be less affected by a recession due to a better safety net, more access to financial resources and better treatment from the legal system. I dunno if that was intentional, but if it was, the attention to detail is really cool.
I think this video is really cool and good, and my comment is not trying to take away from the amazing video that this is!
After gen 3, they changed the lost money from battles to, instead of 50% of your total money, now using a formula of "Highest level Pokémon, multiplied by some 'base payout' value, determined by your number of badges." Seeing as how we know Winston has a level 8 Zigzagoon, we can determine his base payout in the remakes to be 120, which means that he's actually paying an exactly correct amount, assuming he has 8 badges. I think we could even see this as an argument AGAINST an oncoming recession, as it means that you're taxed more based on how successful you are. Potentially leading to higher-level trainers with more badges paying more money, evening out the economy a bit more, and allowing the less wealthy to struggle less.
You can also use this math to determine how many badges each NPC trainer has. For example, Youngster Billy on that same route uses a maximum level 6 pokemon, and gives 96 pokédollars. 96/6=16. Youngster Billy has 1 badge.

The last bit about wealth inequality still applies though, so it seems like the ORAS timeline is headed for a recession while the RSE timeline is either doing better or is just less bad.
Wait a second, theory time! Adef suspected Devoncorp may be influencing the recession.
And ORAS is in the "mega stone timeline" or whatever we call it. We literally define timelines by whether they have mega stones or not.
And Devoncorp specialises in stones. I can't remember if they imply this in the games but Devoncorp has GOT to be selling mega stones, they would never miss that business opportunity.
So...
The impact on the economy of Devoncorp selling mega stones has caused wealth inequality and accelerated the Hoenn region towards a recession!

Economist here, and I would say that the explanations you gave were quite good and accurate given the timeframe. As I'm sure you'd understand from maths and science that giving a truly technically correct explanation just isn't really feasible in a video like this and so you have to cut some corners for brevity and I think you did that well :). More nerdy explanation below:
For the real nerds out there, the more tenuous part of your analysis is the jump from talking about inflation and distribution of wealth as direct indicators of a recession. What you have shown is there is a real and growing inequality problem in the hoenn region, and this has pretty adverse implications for the welfare of the poorest. This doesn't per se mean that there is a recession or deflation, in fact the way we measure inflation in the consumer price index (CPI) would say that the rate of inflation was 0% as the same number of poke dollars buys the same amount of goods in both games, as the prices are the same. However what has changed is the total purchasing power or % of wealth/income held by the lower deciles has decreased leading to lower welfare for them and greater inequality overall. Whereas a recession would mean the total production of goods and services has decreased, which could be the case but is not able to be substantiated based on the information you have given.

Great video! Quick fact check: Most interest rates like those on savings accounts are actually not continuously compounded like you suggest. They are compounded daily, quarterly, or monthly. That’s why you might see a deposit of interest at the beginning of each month. Using e is actually an approximation of the other rate formula for most finance and economics applications. For inflation calculations, since inflation is calculated annually, we should also compound annually to match. However, for the sake of your video using e is a close enough approximation.

So, the amount of money you drop when you lost actually changed after Gen 3, nit being half your money on hand, but based on how much Badge you got.
