This paper analyses the pension system in Turkey using Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) and Overlapping Generations Models (OLG). The objective of the paper is to evaluate the effects of current pension policies on the macroeconomic aggregates when a segmented and asymmetric labor market is...

We seek to shed new light on the social process of political opinion formation from an evolutionary perspective.We propose a model in which heterogeneous citizens collectively learn and modify their opinions about the most convenient size of public expenditure for the economy. In Section 1, we...

An agent-based Keynesian laboratory is built with a twofold purpose; to further investigate the ideas of Keynes and check them for internal consistency, and secondly to investigate the stability of a Keynesian world and explore the scope for economic policy. The laboratory is developed in Swarm...

This paper presents a model of a monetary production economy with non-Walrasian good, labor and money markets. In the non-Walrasian approach, transactions occur at non clearing prices and agents's demand and supply are affected by quantity constraints in the opposite side of the market. The...

Using a simple stochastic multi-sector model we show patterns of demand shares on sectors with different productivity coefficients have some expected and some unexpected effects on GDP, sector sizes, the magnitudes of the Okun's law coefficients, and Beveridge curves shifts. The basic stochastic...

The Circuitists are a largely European school of economic thought that argue that a monetary economy is fundamentally different to a barter system, and that therefore money cannot be simply modelled as the n+1th good in a Walrasian general equilibrium system. However, while the School has made...

Following a conjecture of Kozicki and Tinsley we generalises the habit formation model of consumption to allow for both a multiplicative utility function and a habit\aspiration function which is a geometrically weighted average of past consumption. The geometric form of the aspiration function...

This contribution is devoted to the dynamics of an extended Kaldor model. Attention is focused primarily on an influence of the inflation rate on the limiting behavior, stability and robustness of the model. Both the analytical approach and computer modelling are discussed. Two illustrative...
