Brown-von Neumann-Nash dynamics: The continuous strategy case
Brown and von Neumann introduced a dynamical system that converges to saddle points of zero sum games with nitely many strategies. Nash used the mapping underlying these dynamics to prove existence of equilibria in general games. The resulting Brownvon NeumannNash dynamics are a benchmark example for myopic adjustment dynamics that, in contrast to replicator dynamics, allow for innovation, b...
متن کاملEvolutionary pattern, operation mechanism and policy orientation of low carbon economy development
The essence of low carbon economy development is a continuous evolution and innovation process of socio-economic system from traditional high carbon economy to new sustainable green low carbon economy to achieve a sustainable dynamic balance and benign interactive development of various elements between society, economy and natural ecosystem. At the current stage, China’s socio-economy is showi...
متن کاملEvolutionary Thinking in Microeconomic Models: Prestige Bias and Market Bubbles
Evolutionary models broadly support a number of social learning strategies likely important in economic behavior. Using a simple model of price dynamics, I show how prestige bias, or copying of famed (and likely successful) individuals, influences price equilibria and investor disposition in a way that exacerbates or creates market bubbles. I discuss how integrating the social learning and demo...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Four Evolutionary Algorithms for Economic and Economic-Statistical Designs of MEWMA Control Charts
The multivariate exponentially weighted moving average (MEWMA) control chart is one of the best statistical control chart that are usually used to detect simultaneous small deviations on the mean of more than one cross-correlated quality characteristics. The economic design of MEWMA control charts involves solving a combinatorial optimization model that is composed of a nonlinear cost function ...
متن کاملCultural Transmission Prepared for the New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics, Second Edition
The economic literature analyzes cultural transmission as the result of interactions between purposeful socialization decisions inside the family (‘direct vertical socialization’) and indirect socialization processes like social imitation and learning (‘oblique and horizontal socialization’). This paper reviews the main contribution of these models from a theoretical and empirical perspective. ...
