Beliefs asymmetry and price stability in a cobweb model
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work analyses the role of asymmetry in beliefs for price dynamics a cobweb model with heterogeneous expectations and evolutionary selection predictors. While but symmetric result rational equilibrium price, effect depends on whether predictors one side or other rationality have larger support. A support skewed towards that are anchored to past prices can be destabilizing, interaction mechanism lead complex prices; overshoot changes leads instead stability, irrespective underlying dynamics. The design set allowed compete market is thus crucial possible outcomes model. One could interpret terms sentiments, intended as one-sided systematic biases expectations.

Heterogeneous beliefs and the non-linear cobweb model
This paper generalizes the evolutionary cobweb model with heterogeneous beliefs of Brock and Hommes (1997. Econometrica 65, 1059}1095), to the case of non-linear demand and supply. Agents choose between a simple, freely available prediction strategy such as naive expectations and a sophisticated, costly prediction strategy such as rational expectations, and update their beliefs according to an ...
متن کاملStability analysis of a cobweb model with market interactions
This paper explores the steady-state properties and the dynamic behavior of a generalization of the classical cobweb model. Under fairly general demand and cost functions, producers form naïve expectations about future prices and select their output so as to maximize expected profits. Unlike the traditional setup, producers have the choice between two markets, and tend to enter that which was m...
متن کاملCobweb Theorems with Production Lags and Price Forecasting
The classical cobweb theorem is extended to include production lags and price forecasts. Price forecasting based on a longer period has a stabilizing effect on prices. Longer production lags do not necessarily lead to unstable prices; very long lags lead to cycles of constant amplitude. The classical cobweb requires elasticity of demand to be greater than that of supply; this is not necessarily...
متن کاملA Stochastic Cobweb Dynamical Model
We consider the dynamics of a stochastic cobweb model with linear demand and a backwardbending supply curve. In our model, forward-looking expectations and backward-looking ones are assumed, in fact we assume that the representative agent chooses the backward predictor with probability q , 0 q 1, and the forward predictor with probability 1 − q , so that the expected price at time t is a random...

منطقه ی آسیای مرکزی وقفقاز به عنوان منطقه ای تاریخی و به دلیل دارا بودن ذخایر عظیم هیدرو کربنی از اهمیت ویژه ای برخوردار است. کشورهای این منطقه از عوامل عمده ی بی ثباتی نظیر عوامل جغرافیایی، اقتصادی، امنیتی، اجتماعی و سیاسی رنج می برند. پس از فروپاشی اتحاد جماهیر شوروی کشورهای منطقه از نعمت استقلال ناخواسته ای برخوردار شدند که مشکلات فوق را برای آن ها چندین برابر می کرد. در این روند برخی از این...
