Stability of Stationary Distributions in Monotone Economies

چکیده
This paper generalizes the sufficient conditions for stability of monotone economies and time series models due to Hopenhayn and Prescott (Econometrica, 60, p. 1387–1406, 1992). We introduce a new order-theoretic mixing condition and characterize stability for monotone economies satisfying this condition. We also provide a range of results that can be used to verify our mixing condition in applications, as well as the other components of our main stability theorem. Through this approach, we extend Hopenhayn and Prescott’s method to a significantly larger class of problems, and develop new perspectives on the causes of instability and stability.

On discrete a-unimodal and a-monotone distributions
Unimodality is one of the building structures of distributions that like skewness, kurtosis and symmetry is visible in the shape of a function. Comparing two different distributions, can be a very difficult task. But if both the distributions are of the same types, for example both are unimodal, for comparison we may just compare the modes, dispersions and skewness. So, the concept of unimodali...
متن کاملOn Multiply Monotone Distributions, Continuous or Discrete, with Applications
This paper is concerned with the class of distributions, continuous or discrete, whose shape is monotone of finite integer order t. A characterization is presented as a mixture of a minimum of t independent uniform distributions. Then, a comparison of t-monotone distributions is made using the s-convex stochastic orders. A link is also pointed out with an alternative approach to monotonicity ba...
متن کاملStochastic stability of monotone economies in regenerative environments
We introduce and analyze a new class of monotone stochastic recursions in a regenerative environment which is essentially broader than that of Markov chains. We prove stability theorems and apply our results to three canonical models in recursive economics, generalizing some known stability results to the cases when driving sequences are not independent and identically distributed.
متن کاملStationary-excess operator and convex stochastic orders
The present paper aims to point out how the stationary-excess operator and its iterates transform the s-convex stochastic orders and the associated moment spaces. This allows us to propose a new unified method on constructing s-convex extrema for distributions that are known to be t-monotone. Both discrete and continuous cases are investigated. Several extremal distributions under monotonicity ...
متن کاملOn the Monotone Behavior of Time Dependent Entropy of Order alpha
In this paper we study some monotone behavior of the residual (past) entropy of order . We prove that, under some relation between the hazard rates (reversed hazard rates) of two distributions functions F and G, when the residual (past) entropy of order of F is decreasing (increasing) then the residual (past) entropy of G is decreasing (increasing). Using this, several conclusions regarding mo...
