The empirical evidence on the relationship between income inequality and economic growth is widely recognized and, now, there are rich databases for carry on panel-data type of analyses. However, time series studies for specific countries may be more attractive and yield revealing results. For...

In this paper, we consider a society composed of citizens grouped in different economic strata based on income, who must pay taxes, but there are incentives to do so, and a set of public officials (auditors), whose function is to monitor compliance with the tax rules among citizens. We assume...

In this work the evolutionary dynamics of migratory behavior driven by imitation is studied. We show that, any migratory flow, driven by the imitation, can be modeled by a dynamic system, once the rules governing imitative behavior of the population, are established. The parameters...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to study the long-run relationship between economic growth and income inequality in China during the pre-reform (1952-1978) and post-reform (1979-2007) periods, this will be done via cointegration analysis. Design/methodology/approach – The aim of this...

We analyze the main dynamical properties of the evolutionarily stable strategy ESS for asymmetric two-population games of finite size in its corresponding replicator dynamics. We introduce a defnition of ESS for two-population asymmetric games and a method of symmetrizing such an asymmetric...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to estimate the long-run relationships and threshold effects between inflation and economic growth in Mexico. Design/methodology/approach – The paper shows the existence of such relationship in a cointegrated vector on economic growth (log of real gross...
