This challenging book extends standard economic theory to take into account the presence of heterogeneity among economic agents. It argues for an approach to economic analysis which regards the economy as an interactive system with heterogeneous agents and not simply a system which treats aggregates as some ‘representative’ individual.
La " société à vivre " n'exige, en définitive, qu'une révolution douce. Elle ne nécessite pas d'arrêter à grand fracas le train de l'Histoire, seulement de l'aiguiller vers un avenir plus chaleureux, aisément entrevu dès que l'on ne fait plus l'impasse sur la spiritualité humaine. Habitué à la violence héroïque des révolutions passées, le lecteur aura peut-être quelque difficulté à croire en celle-ci, qui ne réclame pas de chambardement matériel. C'est qu'il aura omis d'ajouter, dans son bilan des forces, l'énergie spirituelle mobilisée. Car la révolution personnaliste, qui doit nous mener à la " société à vivre ", a certes un coût économique et politique dérisoire, elle demande en revanche de chacun d'entre nous un certain état d'esprit. Normal, n'est-ce pas ? pour une approche spiritualiste.
Economics: Beyond the Millennium contains articles by leading authorities in various fields of economic theory and econometrics, each of whom gives an account of the current state of the art in their own field and indicate the direction that they think it will take in the next ten years. The fields covered are grouped into three categories: the microfoundations of macroeconomics, where Malinvaud evaluates the theory of resource allocation and Hildenbrand examines the empirical content of economic thories; markets and and organizations, where both Gabszewicz and D'Aspremont et al. look at imperfect competition and general equilibrium, Scotchmer and Thiess consider spatial economics, Ponssard the future of managerial economics, while Van Damme looks at the next stage of game theory; and econometrics, where Gourieroux reviews econometric modelling in general, Maravall looks at time series, Lubrand and Bauwens examine Bayesian analysis, and Blundell looks at the rapidly expanding area of microeconometrics.
Depuis le milieu des années 70, la science économique ne jouit plus de la même considération. Cette crise de confiance a poussé et pousse l'économiste à porter un double regard critique sur sa propre pratique scientifique et sur le monde environnant, d'où la nécessité de développer et d'affiner l'analyse des questions d'éthique sociale posées.
Nonlinear Dynamics and Economics, first published in 1997, presents developments in nonlinear economic dynamics along with related research from associated fields, including mathematics, statistics, biology, and physics. Specific areas covered include instability in economic theory, nonlinearity in financial markets, tests for nonlinearity and chaos, frequency domain methods, nonlinear business cycles, and nonlinear prediction and forecasting. This volume comprises the tenth in the International Symposia in Economic Theory and Econometrics series under the general editorship of William Barnett. This proceedings volume includes revisions of the most important papers presented at a conference held at the European University Institute in Florence on July 6-17, 1992, along with revisions of the related, invited papers presented at the annual meetings of the American Statistical Association held in San Francisco on August 8-12, 1993.
