Seigniorage: Based on the paper: Maurice Obstfeld, 'Notes on Seigniorage and Budget Constraints' (Berkeley University, Economics 202A, Fall 2012) 1, SE = mt = mt-1 + (inflation)mt-1.

But when I calculate it from SE=(Mt-Mt-1)/Pt , I hit SE= Mt/Pt - Mt-1/Pt-1 + [(Pt - Pt-1 )/Pt-1] X (Mt-1/Pt).

Doesn't the last part have to be Mt-1/Pt-1 instead of Mt-1/Pt to be able to convert it to mt-1 ?

Please show me the workings of how seigniorage can be calculated as the real money holdings times inflation tax.
