Discretization of a fractional order ratio-dependent functional response predator-prey model, bifurcation and chaos
This paper deals with a ratio-dependent functional response predator-prey model with a fractional order derivative. The ratio-dependent models are very interesting, since they expose neither the paradox of enrichment nor the biological control paradox. We study the local stability of equilibria of the original system and its discretized counterpart. We show that the discretized system, which is...
متن کاملStable near-rational sunspot equilibria
A new class of near-rational sunspot equilibria is identified in economies expressed as non-linear forward-looking models. The new equilibria are natural extensions of the usual sunspot equilibria associated to the linearized version of the economy, and are near-rational in that agents use the optimal linear forecasting model when forming expectations. A generic existence result is established....
متن کاملPrice-level volatility and welfare in incomplete markets with sunspots
In an economy with incomplete financial markets as described by Cass (1989), there is typically a continuum of equilibria driven by sunspots. In some cases, there is no Pareto ranking among the different sunspot equilibria. However, this paper shows that a sunspot equilibrium with lower price-volatility is superior in economic welfare to one with higher price-volatility based on a compensation ...
متن کاملMarket Uncertainty: Correlated and Sunspot Equilibria in Imperfectly Competitive Economies
An imperfectly competitive economy is very prone to market uncertainty, including uncertainty about the liquidity (or "thickness") of markets. We show, in particular, that there exist stochastic equilibrium outcomes in nonstochastic market games if (and only if) the endowments are not Pareto optimal. We also provide a link between extrinsic uncertainty arising in games (e.g. correlated equilibr...
متن کاملCARESS Working Paper 00-08 REDUCING OVERLAPPING GENERATIONS ECONOMIES TO FINITE ECONOMIES
This paper establishes in a general way the existence of a connection between the stationary equilibria of an infinite horizon economy and the equilibria of a naturally related finite economy. More specifically, the connection is established first between the cycles of a stationary overlapping generations economy and the equilibria of a related finite economy with a cyclical structure. Then the...
