Chaos in economic models with exogenous shocks

We investigate the generation of chaos in economic models through exogenous shocks. The perturbation is formulated as a pulse function where either values or instants of discontinuity are chaotically behaved. We provide a rigorous proof of the existence of chaos in the perturbed model. The analytical results are applied to Kaldor-Kalecki-type models of the aggregate economy subject to export and rainfall shocks, respectively. Simulations are used to demonstrate the emergence and the control of chaos. Our results shed light on a novel source of chaos in economic models and have important implications for policy-making.

Emerging market sovereign spreads, global financial conditions and US macroeconomic news
Oezatay, Fatih; Özmen, Erdal; Sahinbeyogu, Guelbin (Elsevier BV, 2009-03-01)
We investigate the impact of global financial conditions. U.S. macroeconomic news and domestic fundamentals on the evolution of EMBI spreads for a panel of 18 emerging market (EM) countries using daily data. To this end, we consider not only the conventional panel cointegration procedures but also the recent common correlated effects method to tackle cross-section dependence that may stem from common global shocks such as contagion. The results suggest that the long-run evolution of EMBI spreads depends on ...
Dynamics of sticky information and sticky price models in a New Keynesian DSGE framework
Arslan, M. Murat (Elsevier BV, 2008-11-01)
Recent literature on monetary policy analysis extensively uses the sticky price model of price adjustment in a New Keynesian Macroeconomic framework. This price setting model, however. has been criticized for producing implausible results regarding inflation and output dynamics. This paper examines and compares dynamic responses of the sticky price and sticky information models to a cost-push shock in a New Keynesian DSGE framework. It finds that the sticky information model produces more reasonable dynamic...
Chaos in BFSS and ABJM matrix models
Taşcı, Cankut; Kürkcüoğlu, Seçkin; Yurduşen, İsmet; Department of Physics (2021-7)
In this thesis, we focus on the chaotic dynamics emerging from Banks-Fischler- Shenker-Susskind (BFSS) and Aharony-Bergman-Jafferis-Maldacena (ABJM) models. We first direct our attention on the bosonic part of the BFSS model and introduce mass deformation terms. Using ansatz configurations involving fuzzy-2 and fuzzy-4 spheres with collective time dependence, we find a family of reduced effective Hamiltonians through which we explore the chaotic dynamics emerging from these models. In order to reveal the st...
A quantitative analysis of cost-push shocks and optimal inflation volatility
Senay, Ozge; Sutherland, Alan (Informa UK Limited, 2008-01-01)
This article presents a quantitative analysis of optimal inflation volatility in a simple sticky-price general equilibrium model subject to both supply and cost-push shocks. It is found that optimal policy implies a relatively small degree of inflation volatility even when cost-push shocks are the dominant source of economic disturbance. In addition, it is found that optimal policy generates only a very small welfare gain when compared to strict inflation targeting.
Stock market development and low-carbon economy: The role of innovation and renewable energy
Zeqiraj, Veton; Sohag, Kazi; Soytaş, Uğur (Elsevier BV, 2020-09-01)
We examine the effect of stock market development (SMD) on the low-carbon economy (LCE). We consider two channels, renewable energy and technological innovation by which this affect occurs. We use the cross-sectional autoregressive distributed lags (CS-ARDL) approach to analyse panel time-series data over the period 1980-2016 for European Union member countries. We demonstrate that SMD impedes LCE in the long run. In contrast, technological innovation (TI) is found to be a driving factor in achieving LCE in...
