چکیده
This paper gives local stability conditions for convergence of the price dynamics in a cobweb model with rationally heterogeneous expectations, generalizing the example of Brock and Hommes (1997). When agents choose between rational, naive, and adaptive beliefs, the steady state may be locally asymptotically stable if the adaptive predictor places enough weight on past prices and is costless. If adaptive expectations are su8ciently more costly than naive expectations the steady state will be an unstable saddle point. Our results imply that adding a choice can stabilize a system which is unstable under the Brock and Hommes model. These results illustrate how the critical parameter that governs stability is dependent on the array of available predictors. c © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

A popular technique for time delay estimation is to use an FIR #lter to model the time di-erence and the #lter weights are interpolated with a sinc function to obtain the delay estimate. However, the sinc interpolator requires a su/ciently long #lter length for accurate delay estimation. In this paper, we propose to process the #lter weights via a least-squares-based method in order to acquire ...
متن کاملIncome inequality, risk, and the transfer principle: A questionnaire-experimental investigation
This paper is about distributional perceptions with respect to inequality and risk. The Pigou–Dalton principle of transfers is one of the fundamental axioms in the analysis of inequality. We examine to what degree it is followed by people who evaluate income distributions and, moreover, whether it also plays a role in risk comparisons. Furthermore, we ask whether information on the width of the...

‘Bussgang’ deconvolution techniques for blind digital channels equalization rely on a Bayesian estimator of the source sequence de1ned on the basis of channel=equalizer cascade model which involves the de1nition of deconvolution noise. In this paper we consider four ‘Bussgang’ blind deconvolution algorithms for uniformly distributed source signals and investigate their numerical performances as...
