Talk:Time consistency (finance)

Altered from redirect

Changed this page from redirecting to dynamic inconsistency since time consistency is itself a property in financial risk. If anyone disagrees with this change I would like to hear why. Otherwise perhaps we could put a note in the page that they might be interested in "dynamic inconsistency." Zfeinst (talk) 02:14, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Merge (or link and retitle)

'Time consistency' is the opposite of 'time inconsistency', which is a synonym of dynamic inconsistency. The 'consistent' and 'inconsistent' cases arise in many places in economics and finance. Their importance in finance is well explained in this article, but this is just one case of the more general concept which is explained in the dynamic inconsistency page. Perhaps the two should be merged. Or this page should be retitled 'Time consistency in finance'. It could then be the 'Main' article of one section of the dynamic inconsistency page.

I did not find the page on dynamic inconsistency to sufficiently describe the case as it relates to financial risk. I think merging would be a mistake since 'time consistency' is it's own topic in financial risk and is only related to dynamic inconsistency since it deals with being consistent over time. Retitling and making a section on dynamic inconsistency is a better idea if others think this is too closely related a topic. Zfeinst (talk) 14:15, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

The introduction introduces nothing

I read thrice the introduction to understand what Time consistency means and I didn't. Saying "The concept means keeping something consistent with time" is just begging the question. Admitting that the concept of time is mastered by the reader I think that the concept of consistency should be precisely defined, before to apply it to time. --Pierre de Lyon (talk) 16:48, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
