New Approaches to Macroeconomic Modeling : Evolutionary Stochastic Dynamics, Multiple Equilibria, and Externalities as Field Effects
New Approaches to Macroeconomic Modeling Evolutionary Stochastic Dynamics Multiple Equilibria and Externalities as Field Effects Author:Masanao Aoki This book contributes substantively to the current state of the art of macroeconomic modeling by providing a method for modeling large collections of heterogeneous agents subject to nonpairwise externality called field effects, i.e. feedback of aggregate effects on individual agents or agents using state-dependent strategies. Adopting a level o... more »f microeconomic description that keeps track of compositions of fractions of agents by "types" or "strategies", time evolution of the microeconomic states is described by (backward) Chapman-Kolmogorov equations.« less
