We investigate a simple nonlinear model of economics to which strong multiplicative noise is added, and find two distinct generic control regimes. In the regime of noisy behavior, the application of the control is able to reduce noise only if the underlying periodicity is correctly taken into...

We investigate for evidence of complex-deterministic dynamics in financial returns time series. By combining the Surrogate Data Analysis inferential framework with the MG-GARCH (Kyrtsou and Terraza, 2003) modelling approach, we examine whether the sequences are characterized by aperiodic and...

This paper explores the dynamics of the U.S. hog market with three different dynamic models that are distinguished only by their assumptions with regard to market participants' expectations of future prices. The first model assumes that all the producers in the market have rational expectations....

When the Central Bank sets nominal rates as a a non-decreasing function of the inflation rate to stabilize the economy, that is it uses a Taylor Rule, the zero lower bound on interest rates may result in multiple equilibria and a liquidity trap. However, if fiscal policy is non-Ricardian, or...

\tTraders in this model of an asset market have the opportunity to conduct individual research to acquire a noisy signal of a security's future value, or they can employ least-squares learning in an attempt at extracting the private information of other traders through observing the price. For a...

This paper focuses on the time series’ decomposition and economic representation of its constituent parts. Wavelet transforms are used for adaptive analysis of local behaviour of heterogeneous agents. Unlike fully revealing equilibrium of homogeneous beliefs, in the environment with...

The purpose of this paper is to analyze how heterogeneous behaviors of agents influence the exchange rates dynamic in the short and long terms. We examine how agents use the information and which kind of information, in order to take theirs decisions to form an expectation of the exchange rate....
