This paper extends a family of well-known stability theorems for monotone economies to a significantly larger class of models. We provide a set of general conditions for existence, uniqueness and stability of stationary distributions when monotonicity holds. The conditions in our main result are...

The paper demonstrates global stability in a class of stochastic overlapping generations economies with increasing returns. These results are applied to the study of path dependent dynamics. In particular, for nonlinear stochastic models it is seen that persistence of the historical state and...

This study provides an explanation for the emergence of power laws in asset trading volume and returns. We consider a two-state model with binary actions, where traders infer other traders' private signals regarding the value of an asset from their actions and adjust their own behavior...
