Adaptive theorizing in a maladaptive world

The Santa Fe Institute’s economics program has nurtured some of the discipline’s most highly innovative forml theorizing and interdisciplinary brainstorming since its inception in the late 1980s. This proceedings volume provides the occasion for a review of ten-year’s progress by researchers associated with the Institute. The initial programmatic proposals of the first volume have indeed ben fleshed out with a range of models incorporating bounded rationality, complex dynamics, genuine social interaction, open-ended evolution, and a hint at historical contingency. Some of the achievements and limitations of these approaches, both formal and otherwise, are discussed in this essay     

Social learning in a changing world

Summary. In the social learning model of Banerjee [1] and Bikhchandani, Hirshleifer and Welch [2] individuals take actions sequentially after observing the history of actions taken by the predecessors and an informative private signal. If the state of the world is changing stochastically over time during the learning process, only temporary informational cascades – situations where socially valuable information is wasted – can arise. Furthermore, no cascade ever arises when the environment changes in a sufficiently unpredictable way. Received: December 5, 1996; revised version: February 11, 1997     

Revisiting Savage in a conditional world

Summary. I present an axiomatization of subjective expected utility and Bayesian updating in a conditional decision problem. This result improves our understanding of the Bayesian standard from two perspectives: 1) it uses a set of axioms which are weak and intuitive; 2) it provides a formal proof to results on the relation between dynamic consistency, expected utility and Bayesian updating which have never been explicitly proved in a fully subjective framework.

Stages of diversification in a neoclassical world

Recent research has documented a U-shaped industrial concentration curve over an economy’s development path. How far can neoclassical trade theory take us in explaining this pattern? We estimate the production side of the Heckscher–Ohlin model using industry data on 44 developed and developing countries for the period 1976–2000. Decomposing the implied changes in industrial concentration over time shows that at least one third of these changes seems to be explained by a Rybczynski effect. This result suggests that capital accumulation led poor countries to diversify their industrial production, while rich countries made their production more concentrated in highly capital-intensive industries.     

A new economic and political order in the perspective of system dynamics

A formalized approach to the consideration of a new economic and political order is proposed, introducing a newly defined planetary equity functional. It is suggested that world system structure and operation become decision variables in such a proposed equity-oriented policy to be implemented through a continuous active dialog involving all actor-states.

Free Banking in Hong Kong

Hong Kong has no central bank and its paper currency is issued by two private commercial banks. Cointegration tests and an error-correction model are used to examine the stability of the money supply process under pegged and floating exchange rates. Empirical evidence suggests feedback between the price level and money supply during the floating rate period but stability under a pegged rate. [E 42]
