Book Description
William Jevons (1866 and 1871) established a ground-breaking milestone with 'A General Mathematical Theory of Political Economy' for economic analysis. Jevons' work was praised as the start of the mathematical method in the discipline of economics, which is inherently a subject involved with mathematics and quantities. This book focuses on the most fast-evolving and encompassing area in political economy — the dynamic global political economy. Under the high level of globalization currently, intertemporal and cross-boundary interactive elements are present in political-economic encounters. Indeed, almost all studies in the political economy may fall into the study of dynamic global political economy. Since the world has changed significantly, new mathematics developed by the authors of this book is used to formulate a general mathematical theory for the dynamic global political economy nowadays. A distinctive feature of the current book is that it combines advanced mathematics, game-theoretic concepts, and economics to develop a general mathematical theory supporting the study of the dynamic global political economy.The book covers mathematical theory for different areas of the dynamic global political economy. In addition, it explicates the application of the mathematical theory in real-world scenarios, including (i) environmental degradation under an uncoordinated interaction scenario, (ii) global climate accords with collaboration and cooperation, (iii) trade network involving the Belt-Road Initiative (BRI) and Build Back Better World (B3W) Initiative, and (iv) random termination of international joint ventures.

The Breakup of Nations
Author: Patrick Bolton
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This paper develops a model of the breakup or unification of nations. In each nation the decision to separate is taken by majority voting. A basic trade-off between the efficiency gains of unification and the costs in terms of loss of control on political decisions is highlighted. The model emphasizes political conflicts over redistribution policies. The main results of the paper are i) when income distributions vary across regions and the efficiency gains from unification are small, separation occurs in equilibrium; and ii) when all factors of production are perfectly mobile, all incentives for separation disappear.

The Hamiltonian Approach to Dynamic Economics
Author: David Cass
Publisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 1483266850
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
The Hamiltonian Approach to Dynamic Economics focuses on the application of the Hamiltonian approach to dynamic economics and attempts to provide some unification of the theory of heterogeneous capital. Emphasis is placed on the stability of long-run steady-state equilibrium in models of heterogeneous capital accumulation. Generalizations of the Samuelson-Scheinkman approach are also given. Moreover, conditions are sought on the geometry of the Hamiltonian function (that is, on static technology) that suffice to preserve under (not necessarily small) perturbation the basic properties of the Hamiltonian dynamical system. Comprised of eight essays, this book begins with an introduction to Hamiltonian dynamics in economics, followed by a discussion on optimal steady states of n-sector growth models when utility is discounted. Optimal growth and decentralized or descriptive growth models in both continuous and discrete time are treated as applications of Hamiltonian dynamics. Theproblem of optimal growth with zero discounting is considered, with emphasis on a steepness condition on the Hamiltonian function. The general problem of decentralized growth with instantaneously adjusted expectations about price changes is also analyzed, along with the global asymptotic stability of optimal control systems with applications to the theory of economic growth. This monograph will be of value to mathematicians and economists.

Uncertainty in Economics
Author: Julia Köhn
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319553518
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 203
Book Description
In this book the author develops a new approach to uncertainty in economics, which calls for a fundamental change in the methodology of economics. It provides a comprehensive overview and critical appraisal of the economic theory of uncertainty and shows that uncertainty was originally conceptualized both as an epistemic and an ontological problem. As a result of the economic professions’ attempt to become acknowledged as a science, the more problematic aspect of ontological uncertainty has been neglected and the subjective probability approach to uncertainty became dominant in economic theory. A careful analysis of ontological theories of uncertainty explains the blindness of modern economics to economic phenomena such as instability, slumps or excessive booms. Based on these findings the author develops a new approach that legitimizes a New Uncertainty Paradigm in economics.

The Foundations of Positive and Normative Economics
Author: Andrew Caplin
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199890110
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 405
Book Description
The Foundations of Positive and Normative Economics: A Handbook is the first book in a new series by Andrew Caplin and Andrew Schotter. There is currently no guide available on the rapidly changing methodological frontiers of the field of economics. Economists have been introducing new theories and new sources of data at a remarkable rate in recent years, and there are widely divergent views both on how productive these expansions have been in the past, and how best to make progress in the future. The speed of these changes has left economists ill at ease, and has created a backlash against new methods. The series will debate these critical issues, allowing proponents of a particular research method to present proposals in a safe yet critical context, with alternatives being clarified. This first volume, written by some of the most prominent researchers in the discipline, reflects the challenges that are opened by new research opportunities. The goal of the current volume and the series it presages, is to formally open a dialog on methodology. The editors' conviction is that such a debate will rebound to the benefit of social science in general, and economics in particular. The issues under discussion strike to the very heart of the social scientific enterprise. This work is of tremendous importance to all who are interested in the contributions that academic research can make not only to our scientific understanding, but also to matters of policy.
