The notion of the rate of profit and the stability of the market dynamics in a model with linear technology

This paper analyzes the local stability properties of the equilibrium solution of a multi-sectoral model with a linear production technology. The pivotal magnitudes in the adjustment process are the market rates of profit. Three different definitions of the market rates of profit are introduced which correspond to different types of the implicit decision behavior. It is shown that the stability properties of the market process depend essentially on this specification.     

Gross substitutability mappings in economic equilibrium theory

A survey of the results relating to the application of gross substitutability in economic equilibrium theory. The topics considered include existence and uniqueness of equilibrium, comparative statics, coalition stability, and stability of price-adjustment tatonnement processes. The main theorems cover the case of multivalued demand satisfying the gross substitutability condition and, in particular, are applicable to linear exchange models.Translated from Itogi Nauki i Tekhniki, Seriya Sovremennye Problemy Matematiki, Vol. 19, pp. 111–154, 1982.     

A cobweb model with gradient adjustment mechanism: nonlinear dynamics and multistability

A cobweb model, characterized by boundedly rational producers with a production adjustment mechanism based on the gradient rule, is described by a nonlinear discrete time dynamical system of the plane. Firms do not have a complete knowledge of the demand function and try to infer how the market will respond to their production changes by an empirical estimates of the marginal profits. Analytical conditions for local stability of the market equilibrium are provided, showing that the stability loss of the market equilibrium may give rise to chaotic dynamic as well. When memory is introduced in the production adjustment mechanism, a locally stabilizing effect is revealed as well as a globally qualitatively destabilizing role for memory. This is related to the occurrence of period doubling and Neimark–Sacker bifurcations, the latter being of supercritical nature as analytically proved. Endogenous fluctuations and multistability, with consequent loss of predictability in the long run dynamics, are observed.     

Teacher-student interaction: A game theoretic extension of the economic theory of education

This paper employs the ‘economic theory of education’ to consider the joint interactive choices of student and teacher. Game theoretic analysis is applied extending the work begun by Correa (1974). It is shown that the relative degree of substitutability in the utility and achievement functions determines whether a student responds positively or negatively to the teacher's greater effort or harder grading. Conditions for the existence and stability of a non-cooperative equilibrium are investigated. Due to the public good nature of student achievement, the non-cooperative equilibrium will result in insufficient academic effort being allocated to academic achievement for Pareto optimality; and therefore, there is a need for binding cooperative agreements.     

权力结构影响下考虑预售的双渠道供应链决策研究

针对存在预售且通过网络与传统渠道销售的现实状况,基于消费者剩余理论和博弈论,构建不同权力结构下的双渠道供应链博弈模型:制造商主导的Stackelberg、权力对等的Vertical Nash和零售商主导的Stackelberg。比较三种权力结构下各成员最优策略及绩效,分析关键因素的敏感性,检验模型的鲁棒性。研究发现:三种博弈下各权力主体的最优策略及绩效均受渠道替代程度、单位生产成本等关键因素影响。渠道替代程度越高,制定的双渠道价格越高;消费者对价格更敏感,预售市场需求呈现向现售市场转移的趋势。     

Dynamic Bertrand Oligopoly

We study continuous time Bertrand oligopolies in which a small number of firms producing similar goods compete with one another by setting prices. We first analyze a static version of this game in order to better understand the strategies played in the dynamic setting. Within the static game, we characterize the Nash equilibrium when there are N players with heterogeneous costs. In the dynamic game with uncertain market demand, firms of different sizes have different lifetime capacities which deplete over time according to the market demand for their good. We setup the nonzero-sum stochastic differential game and its associated system of HJB partial differential equations in the case of linear demand functions. We characterize certain qualitative features of the game using an asymptotic approximation in the limit of small competition. The equilibrium of the game is further studied using numerical solutions. We find that consumers benefit the most when a market is structured with many firms of the same relative size producing highly substitutable goods. However, a large degree of substitutability does not always lead to large drops in price, for example when two firms have a large difference in their size.     

基于做市商过度自信行为的市场均衡分析

针对做市商的过度自信行为对金融市场的影响,通过建立的数学模型对市场均衡时的价格波动、市场交易量、价格质量、市场深度以及市场参与者的利润做了相应的分析。结果表明:做市商的过度自信行为对市场的影响不同于以往研究中过度自信的信息交易者。在市场均衡时,做市商的过度自信行为使得市场交易量增大、市场深度增大、价格质量改善,同时价格波动降低,即做市商的过度自信行为提高了市场的流动性、稳定性与有效性。另外,市场中的信息交易者与噪音交易者都能从做市商的过度自信行为中获利,但同时过度自信行为会损害做市商的利益,影响其在市场中的地位。较小程度的过度自信不会使做市商退出市场,其对市场的影响得以维持;但当这种过度自信达到一定程度后,做市商就会退出市场。     

Application of duopoly multi-periodical game with bounded rationality in power supply market based on information asymmetry

In the power market, each entity is not completely rational when generate strategy, and the market information held by each entity is not exactly the same. In this paper, duopoly power providers with different selling adjustment structures are simplified from the actual grid background, where one provider can sell part of its power to another at contract price to store the power. Each provider is trying to maximize its profit by adjusting its power selling strategy. The process of evolutionary game with multi-periods bounded rational is established. One provider adjusts its selling strategy through the multi-periods market price and another through its multi-periods marginal profit. The quantity of power sold by each provider will tend to Nash equilibrium and how information asymmetry affects the stability of Nash equilibrium is analyzed through comparing dynamic power selling with and without information asymmetry. Information asymmetry has a great impact on one provider but not another. The numerical simulations also show that the information asymmetry will increase the stability region of the system. Different adjustment suggestions are proposed for different providers when information asymmetry occurs.     

碳税机制下考虑不同低碳策略的动态博弈模型及复杂性研究

考虑碳排放税,建立双寡头制造商分别实施废品回收和绿色低碳广告投入策略的动态博弈模型。通过系统稳定域,分岔图,功率谱等分析了博弈模型纳什均衡解处的稳定性及参数对系统稳定域的影响,同时对系统的复杂性特征进行了研究。结果表明,消费者回收价格敏感性增加会使整个系统稳定域缩小,而绿色低碳广告投入水平增加只会使实施该策略的企业自身稳定域扩大;当制造商价格调整速度过快时,系统会进入混沌状态;混沌状态下,对比实施广告策略的制造商,实施废品回收策略的制造商价格调整行为对市场造成的震荡更大。最后使用反馈控制策略对系统混沌状态进行了有效的控制,研究结果对制造商低碳策略选择及价格决策有着较好的借鉴意义。     

Black-Litterman模型在大类资产配置中的应用:基于货币周期及风险平价策略的改进

Black-Litterman模型能够有效的解决均值-方差模型对输入(尤其是预期收益率)过于敏感的问题,从而使得其在实践中得到了广泛的应用。采用风险平价策略构造市场均衡组合,并采用基于货币周期的资产轮动收益构造主观观点组合,在将主观观点信心水平进行适当简化后,形成了改进后的Black-Litterman模型。利用我国资本市场上股票、商品和债券三种大类资产数据对改进后的Black-Litterman模型进行实证检验后发现:通过相对信心水平的调节,改进后的Black-Litterman模型能够对市场均衡组合和主观观点组合进行有效的平衡,且相对于其他资产配置组合及单种资产买入持有策略,Black-Litterman组合无论是在风险控制还是收益率上都表现的更为出色。实证结论充分说明了Black-Litterman模型的有效性,同时也从市场均衡组合、主观观点及信心水平三个方向指明了模型改进的方向。

不确定性条件下市场特征与市场信息的价值

通过建立一个博弈模型,研究在不确定性条件下,市场特征和市场信息对企业利润的影响.在一定条件下,预测越精确,信息越有价值;而在其他情况下则相反.产品替代程度越高,或市场预期需求越大,都将对企业利润产生积极影响.     

产品替代性程度与企业共谋合作关系的研究

通过建立重复博弈数学模型,从数量上研究了产品替代性程度与企业长期共谋合作之间的关系.研究结果表明:在线性需求条件下,产品替代性程度增加,企业长期共谋合作相对比较困难,但是从总体上看,产品替代性程度对企业间长期是否共谋合作的影响很小.本文研究结果可为政府当前正在准备反垄断法的制订工作提供一定的理论支持.     

随机产出环境下联产品的产量及价格策略研究

基于制造商生产主产品的过程中会随机产出两类存在替代关系的副产品的联产品系统,采用清仓定价模型,研究了不同需求函数(线性需求和指数需求)下,制造商对于主产品和副产品的最优产量与定价策略。通过两阶段优化模型的建立和求解,确定了主产品的最优产量和价格。借助数值分析,归纳出产品替代度和产出波动性对最优产量和利润的影响。研究结果表明,随着产品替代度的增加,制造商的产量上升;随着波动性的增加,制造商的产量下降。最后,将模型扩展到市场非出清的情况,并得出制造商的最优生产决策。     

一般均衡下基于产品市场和资本市场的单名CDS定价

次贷危机呼吁新的信用衍生品定价模型, 因此为存在产品市场和资本市场的经济结构建立一般均衡的单名CDS定价模型, 使用最优化求解一般均衡下的商品价格和CDS价格. 可以发现一般均衡的CDS定价具有资本市场和产品市场的因素, 这表示CDS的价格不再是由单纯的资本市场因素决定的, 而是由无风险利率、资本产出弹性、违约率、回收率同时决定的. 通过数量约束用模拟的方式研究多个均衡的动态变化, 发现违约风险的增加使得价格剧烈波动且市场交易萎缩. 在为以中国工商银行为参考资产的CDS定价过程中, 发现各种因素在不同的时期都可能成为定价的主要影响因素. 可以发现, 次贷危机的定价体系存在着信用调整问题和定价与实体经济脱节的问题. 可以认为, 一般均衡下基于产品市场和资本市场的单名CDS定价可以囊括多个市场的交叉影响, 为衍生品定价提供一个新的方向.     

Distributed Price Adjustment Based on Convex Analysis

In this paper, we suggest a distributed process of price adjustment toward a partial market equilibrium. As the main contribution, our algorithm of price adjustment is computationally efficient and decentralized. Its convergence properties are crucially based on convex analysis. The proposed price adjustment corresponds to a subgradient scheme for minimizing a special nonsmooth convex function. This function is the total excessive revenue of the market’s participants and its minimizers are equilibrium prices. As the main result, the algorithm of price adjustment is shown to converge to equilibrium prices. Additionally, the market clears on average during the price adjustment process, i.e., by historical averages of supply and demand. Moreover, a global rate of convergence is obtained. We endow our algorithm with decentralized prices by introducing the trade design with price initiative of producers. The latter suggests that producers settle and update their individual prices, and consumers buy at the lowest purchase price.     

Does Local Monopolistic Approximation imply a less stable equilibrium?

We study an oligopolistic market in which boundedly rational firms compete in quantities adopting either best response or gradient-based decision mechanisms. In particular, we examine the impact of Local Monopolistic Approximation (LMA) on local stability of Cournot equilibrium. It finds that under the best response dynamic with inertia, the LMA increases (decreases) the local stability if the inverse demand function is concave (convex). It is surprising to find that the LMA always implies more local stability under the gradient adjustment dynamic.     

Equilibrium price as a coincidence point of two mappings

The existence of an equilibrium price vector in a nonlinear market model is analyzed. In the model, the demand and supply functions are obtained by maximizing the producer utility and profit, respectively. Sufficient conditions for the existence of an equilibrium price vector and its stability with respect to small perturbations in the model are given. The results are consequences of theorems on the existence and stability of coincidence points in the theory of α-covering mappings.     

我国股市网络稳定性及其宏观影响因素——基于三种网络拓扑结构、鲁棒性的实证研究

基于金融时间序列的多重分形特征及衡量市场风险的VaR模型,建立我国沪深股市的股票关联网络,实证研究三种网络拓扑结构特征,并使用协整检验方法分析网络稳定性和宏观经济变量间的长期均衡关系。结果表明:股票价格网络不具有无标度性,多标度网络和风险网络都具有无标度性;在三种网络中,风险网络具有更强的鲁棒性。此外,股市波动率和网络稳定系数间互为格兰杰因果关系,股市波动的前期变化能有效解释网络稳定性系数的变化;网络稳定性与宏观经济变量间具有长期的均衡关系,GDP增长率、消费者物价水平CPI对网络稳定性具有正向效应,利率对网络稳定性具有负向效应。风险网络的提出有助于分析我国股市的短期风险及稳定性,并为制定系统风险防御策略提供参考。
