Financial fragility and economic fluctuations
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a simple prototype model that describes the complex dynamics of a sophisticated monetary economy. The interaction between the current and intertemporal financial constraints on economic units brings about irregular fluctuations at both micro and macro levels. We use qualitative dynamic analysis and numerical simulations to investigate the interaction between financial fragility, modeled in terms of structural instability, and dynamically unstable financial fluctuations. The model, suggested recently by one of the authors, is here reformulated in more operational terms and extended in a number of new directions. © 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Structural financial instability and cyclical fluctuations
This paper introduces and discusses an heuristic model meant to clarify why and how economic instability may play a crucial role in a modern sophisticated monetary economy. In this model economic instability is specified in terms of structural instability rather than in the usual terms of dynamic instability. This different view of instability implies a different approach to the analysis of the...
متن کاملMinsky, Keynes and the Structural Instability of a Sophisticated Monetary Economy
This paper argues that both Keynes and Minsky held a concept of financial instability which may be properly understood only in terms of structural instability, and not –as is usual-in terms of the traditional concept of economic instability, i.e. dynamic instability. Keynes is quite explicit in denying that the dynamic instability of a monetary economy is a particularly serious problem; on the ...
متن کاملFinancial fragility, mean-field interaction and macroeconomic dynamics: a stochastic model
In recent decades, a considerable stream of research, following the complexity approach (Rosser, 2004), has developed a series of models that import concepts and tools from hard sciences to economics. They represent an attempt to identify an alternative framework to the representative agent hypothesis and to its underlying simplified solution to the aggregation problem (Kirman, 1992). Theoretic...

این تحقیق به بررسی رابطه ی بین نوسانات نرخ ارز و رشد اقتصادی با توجه به توسعه مالی کشورها می‌پردازد. هدف اصلی از این است که علی رغم اینکه نوسانات نرخ ارز می تواند بر عملکرد متغیرهای کلان اقتصاد اثر منفی بگذارد، اما وجود یک سیستم توسعه یافته ی مالی همانند یک کانال اثر این نوسانات را تغییر می دهد. برای این منظور با بررسی شاخص های مختلف توسعه مالی، شاخص نسبت اعتبارات اعطا شده به بخش خصوصی به عنوان...
متن کاملThe Effect of Financial Performance Indicators on Profitability in Bank Mellat
Given the special and sensitive role of banks in the economic system of the country, any shock, disruption and inefficiency in the economic system has a direct impact on the activity of banks and financial institutions and phenomena such as high inflation or economic shocks and fluctuations such as sharp fluctuations in other markets, gold, and currency, will, directly and indirectly, affect th...
