Economic dynamics with financial fragility and mean-field interaction: a model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Following the statistical mechanics methodology, firstly introduced in macroeconomics by Aoki [1, 2, 3], we provide some insights to the well known works of (author?) [7, 6]. Specifically, we reach analytically a closed form solution of their models overcoming the aggregation problem. The key idea is to represent the economy as an evolving complex system, composed by heterogeneous interacting agents, that can partitioned into a space of macroscopic states. This meso level of aggregation permits to adopt mean field interaction modeling and master equation techniques.

Financial fragility and economic fluctuations
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 fragil...
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...
متن کاملPrice dynamics, financial fragility and aggregate volatility ¬リニ
Within a general equilibrium framework à la (Long and Plosser, 1983), we investigate the dynamics emerging from the interactions of households and firms that are adaptive price setters and financially constrained. Adaptive price-setting behavior induces microfounded out-of-equilibrium dynamics along which agents become heterogeneous in terms of prices and wealth. The stringency of the financial...
متن کاملTechnological Innovation, Financial Fragility and Complex Dynamics
Technological Innovation, Financial Fragility and Complex Dynamics In this paper we suggest a scaling approach to business cycles. We develop a heterogeneous interacting agents (HIAs) model that replicates well known industrial dynamics stylized facts, as the power law distribution of firms’ size and the Laplace distribution of firms’ growth rates. In particular, the power law is a persistent b...
متن کاملReconstructing Aggregate Dynamics in Heterogeneous Agents Models a Markovian Approach1
The restrictive assumptions imposed by the traditional methods of aggregation prevented so far a sound analysis of complex system of feedback between microeconomic variables and macroeconomic outcomes. This issue seems to be crucial in macroeconomic modelling, in particular for the analysis of financial fragility, as conceived in the Keynesian and New Keynesian literature. In the present paper ...
