Economic Cycles of Carnot Type [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2021
Originally, the Carnot cycle was a theoretical thermodynamic cycle that provided an upper limit on the efficiency that any classical thermodynamic engine can achieve during the conversion of heat into work, or conversely, the efficiency of a refrigeration system in creating a temperature difference by the application of work to the system.

A theory of political and economic cycles [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Economic Theory, 2014
We develop a theoretical framework in which political and economic cycles are jointly determined. These cycles are driven by three political economy frictions: policymakers are non-benevolent, they cannot commit to policies, and they have private information about the tightness of the government budget and rents.

Economical Elimination of Cycles in the Torus [PDF]

open access: yesCombinatorics, Probability and Computing, 2009
Let m > 2 be an integer, let C2m denote the cycle of length 2m on the set of vertices [−m, m) = {−m, −m + 1, . . ., m − 2, m − 1}, and let G = G(m, d) denote the graph on the set of vertices [−m, m)d, in which two vertices are adjacent if and only if they are adjacent in C2m in one coordinate, and equal in all others. This graph can be viewed as the

An economical business-cycle model [PDF]

open access: yesOxford Economic Papers, 2014
AbstractThis article develops a new model of business cycles. The model is economical in that it is solved with an aggregate demand–aggregate supply diagram, and the effects of shocks and policies are obtained by comparative statics. The model builds on two unconventional assumptions.

The economics of seasonal cycles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Since macroeconomists first began the systematic study of aggregate data, they have grappled with the fact that most economic time series exhibit substantial seasonal variation. In general, macroeconomists abstract from this seasonal variation, both in their models of cyclical behavior and in their empirical testing of these models.

Predicting Cycles in Economic Activity [PDF]

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2008
Predicting cycles in economic activity is one of the more challenging but important aspects of economic forecasting. This paper reports the results from estimation of binary probit models that predict the probability of an economy being in a recession using a variety of financial and real activity indicators.

The Economics of Life-Cycle Hypothesis

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Management Research XVII (IMR 2021): Book of Proceedings, 2021
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the Lifecycle Hypothesis as an attempt to explain the relationship between income, consumption and savings over the life course of an individual.

Investigating Economic Trends and Cycles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Methods are described for extracting the trend from an economic data sequence and for isolating the cycles that surround it. The latter often consist of a business cycle of variable duration and a perennial seasonal cycle.
