Behavioral Rationality and Heterogeneous Expectations in Complex Economic Systems
Author: Cars HommesPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139619780
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
Recognising that the economy is a complex system with boundedly rational interacting agents, the book presents a theory of behavioral rationality and heterogeneous expectations in complex economic systems and confronts the nonlinear dynamic models with empirical stylized facts and laboratory experiments. The complexity modeling paradigm has been strongly advocated since the late 1980s by some economists and by multidisciplinary scientists from various fields, such as physics, computer science and biology. More recently the complexity view has also drawn the attention of policy makers, who are faced with complex phenomena, irregular fluctuations and sudden, unpredictable market transitions. The complexity tools - bifurcations, chaos, multiple equilibria - discussed in this book will help students, researchers and policy makers to build more realistic behavioral models with heterogeneous expectations to describe financial market movements and macro-economic fluctuations, in order to better manage crises in a complex global economy.
Introduction to Microeconomics
Author: Gilad James, PhDPublisher: Gilad James Mystery School
ISBN: 5231481866
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 117
Book Description
Introduction to Microeconomics is a course that familiarizes students with basic economic concepts and theories that aim to analyze individual decision-making behavior and how it affects the overall market demand and supply. The course covers topics such as demand and supply, market equilibrium, consumer and producer behavior, market structures, and government interventions. By learning the principles of microeconomics, students can have a better understanding of how the economy works and how different factors can impact it, such as changes in price, income, and technology. In addition, the course teaches students how to use economic models and theories to analyze real-world scenarios, such as why the price of a product increases, how businesses decide on pricing and production decisions, and how government policies affect the economy. The concepts learned in Introduction to Microeconomics can also be applied to various fields, such as finance, marketing, and public policy. The course aims to provide students with a solid foundation in microeconomics, which can help them make informed decisions in their personal and professional lives.
Advanced Microeconomics for Contract, Institutional, and Organizational Economics
Author: W. Bentley MacLeodPublisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 026236946X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 417
Book Description
A graduate textbook on microeconomics, covering decision theory, game theory, and the foundations of contract theory, with a unique focus on the empirical. This graduate-level text on microeconomics, covering such topics as decision theory, game theory, bargaining theory, contract theory, trade under asymmetric information, and relational contract theory, is unique in its emphasis on the interplay between theory and evidence. It reviews the microeconomic theory of exchange “from the ground up,” aiming to produce a set of models and hypotheses amenable to empirical exploration, with particular focus on models that are useful for the study of contracts, institutions, and organizations. It explores research that extends price theory to the exchange of commodities when markets are incomplete, discussing recent developments in the field. Topics covered include the relationship between theory and evidence; decision theory as it is used in contract theory and institutional design; game theory; axiomatic and strategic bargaining theory; agency theory and the class of models that are considered to constitute contract theory, with discussions of moral hazard and trade with asymmetric information; and the theory of relational contracts. The final chapter offers a nontechnical review that provides a guide to which model is the most appropriate for a particular application. End-of-chapter exercises help students expand their understanding of the material, and an appendix provides brief introduction to optimization theory and the welfare theorem of general equilibrium theory. Students are assumed to be familiar with general equilibrium theory and basic constrained optimization theory.

The Economics of New Goods
Author: Timothy F. BresnahanPublisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226074188
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 508
Book Description
New goods are at the heart of economic progress. The eleven essays in this volume include historical treatments of new goods and their diffusion; practical exercises in measurement addressed to recent and ongoing innovations; and real-world methods of devising quantitative adjustments for quality change. The lead article in Part I contains a striking analysis of the history of light over two millenia. Other essays in Part I develop new price indexes for automobiles back to 1906; trace the role of the air conditioner in the development of the American south; and treat the germ theory of disease as an economic innovation. In Part II essays measure the economic impact of more recent innovations, including anti-ulcer drugs, new breakfast cereals, and computers. Part III explores methods and defects in the treatment of quality change in the official price data of the United States, Canada, and Japan. This pathbreaking volume will interest anyone who studies economic growth, productivity, and the American standard of living.
Organization Theory and its Applications
Author: Susheng WangPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136173196
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
Organization theory is a fast developing field of microeconomics. Organizational approaches are now used in a wide range of topics in business studies. They are based on information economics, contract theory and mechanism design. This book introduces such organizational approaches and how to adopt them as business applications. The book presents the theory in the first two chapters and proceeds to cover the applications of the theory in the later three chapters. The theory lays the foundation and the applications illustrate how the theory can be used in a wide range of business problems. The book covers many concepts and ideas in organization theory, including complete contracts, incomplete contracts, allocation of control rights, option contracts, convertibles, and joint ventures concisely. It will be of use to third year undergraduates and above, Master’s and Ph.D levels for students in business schools.
