The Equilibrium Level of Rigidity in a Hierarchy
نویسنده
چکیده
A hierarchy is considered in which those agents who perform better advance to higher levels. When agents are heterogeneous and endowed with simple behavioral rules, Harrington (1998a) showed that agents at high levels tend to be rigid, in the sense that their behavior is unresponsive to their environment, relative to agents at low levels. In the current paper, agents are homogeneous but sophisticated as their behavior is required to be consistent with a subgame perfect equilibrium. Agents at high levels are found instead to be flexible relative to agents at low levels. Journal of Economic Literature Classification Numbers: D00, D23, D72. © 1999 Academic Press

Elastic stability of columns with variable flexural rigidity under arbitrary axial load using the finite difference method
Abstract: In this paper, the finite difference method (FDM) is applied to investigate the stability analysis and buckling load of columns with variable flexural rigidity, different boundary conditions and subjected to variable axial loads. Between various mathematical techniques adopted to solve the equilibrium equation, the finite difference method, especially in its explicit formulat...

In this paper ,in order to investigate the economic effects of the minimum wage policy on macroeconomic variables in the framework of the new Keynesian theory, a dynamic stochastic equilibrium general (DSGE) model has been simulated and estimated for an open and small oil exporter economy conforming with the structure of Iran's economy in the range from 1370 to 1395 .In the above mentioned mode...
متن کاملThe Measurement of Rigidity in Elbow Joint: An Objective Method for the Evaluation of Parkinson's disease
Introduction: One of the most common syndromes in Parkinson's disease (PD) is rigidity. Currently, an index is used to evaluate the level of PD by the clinical measurement of rigidity in the upper extremity. The index uses a subjective method called Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating System (UPDRS). The subjective nature of this method makes the influence of physician in the measurement of rigi...
