Two applications of the concept of statistical equilibrium, taken from statistical mechanics, are compared: a simple model of a pure exchange economy, constructed as an alternative to a walrasian exchange equilibrium, and a simple model of an industry, in which statistical equilibrium is used as...

There are two fair ways to distribute particles in boxes. The first one is the Casino’s way, namely an equal chance to any box. The second one is the thermodynamic way, namely an equal chance to any different configuration of particles and boxes. The second way, calculated here, yields an...
