On bubbling dynamics generated by a stochastic model of herd behavior (1999)

Gaio, Loris, Kaniovski, Yuri M., Zaninotto, Enrico

This paper suggests a class of stochastic collective learning processes exhibiting very irregular behavior. In particular, there are multimodal long run distributions. Some of these modes may vanish...

Interdependent Search and Industry Dynamics: on Ericson and Pakes (1995) (1998)

Yuri M. Kaniovski, Giovanni Dosi

This note argues about a central analytical inconsistency of Ericson and Pakes (1995). Notwithstanding the explicit claims of the article, the formal hypotheses employed there imply that a firm's...

A Baseline Model of Industry Evolution

Sidney G. Winter, Yuri M. Kaniovski, Giovanni Dosi

The paper analyses some general dynamic properties of industries characterized by heterogeneous firms and continuing stochastic entry. After a brief critical assessment of some significant drawbacks...

A comparison of diffusion approximations and actual limits in birth and death processes of noisy evolution

Yuri M. Kaniovski

The stationary distribution of a birth and death process may not be approximated by a diffusion. The general situation is illustrated on the "musical chairs" model by Binmore et al. (1995). This...
