This paper is a contribution to the forthcoming Edward Elgar Handbook of the History of Economic Analysis volume edited by Gilbert Faccarello and Heinz Kurz. Its aim is to introduce the reader to the main episodes that have marked the course of modern macroeconomics: its emergence after the publication of Keynes’s General Theory, the heydays of Keynesian macroeconomics based on the IS-LM model, disequilibrium and non-Walrasian equilibrium modelling, the invention of the natural rate of unemployment notion, the new classical attack against Keynesian macroeconomics, the first wave of new Keynesian models, real business cycle modelling and, finally, the second wage of new Keynesian models, i.e. DSGE models. A main thrust of the paper is the contrast we draw between Keynesian macroeconomics and stochastic dynamic general equilibrium macroeconomics. We hope that our paper will be useful for teachers of macroeconomics wishing to complement their technical material with a historical addendum.

This paper investigates the stochastic behaviour of hydrodynamic journal bearings by solving the Reynolds equation with random parameters numerically based on finite difference method. The steady state and dynamic characteristics are quantified considering random variabilities in eccentricity and surface roughness that can closely simulate the uncertain service conditions and inevitable manufacturing imperfections. Based on efficient radial basis function, a Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) algorithm is developed in conjunction with the governing equations for quantifying stochastic characteristics of the crucial performance parameters concerning hydrodynamic bearings. Relative sensitivity to stochasticity for different performance parameters is analysed. Physically insightful new results are presented in a probabilistic framework, wherein it is observed that the stochasticity has pronounced influence on the performance of bearing.

In this short note we investigate the natur of the phase transitions in a spin market model as a function of the interaction strength between local and global effects. We find that the stochastic dynamics of this stylized market model exhibit a periodicity whose dependence on the coupling constant in the Ising-like Hamiltonian is robust to changes in the temperature and the size of the market.

Elementary processes in astrophysical phenomena traditionally attract researchers attention. At first this can be attributed to a group of chemi-ionization processes in Rydberg atom collisions with ground state parent atoms. This processes might be studied as a prototype of the elementary process of the radiation energy transformation into electrical one. The studies of nonlinear mechanics have shown that so called regime of dynamic chaos should be considered as typical, rather than exceptional situation in Rydberg atoms collision. From comparison of theory with experimental results it follows that a such kind of stochastic dynamic processes, occurred during the single collision, may be observed.

The aim of the present research is to use a model economy built for Brazil, based on an optimizing dynamic general equilibrium model, in order to perform numerical simulations to derive the ability of the artificial economy to explain the impact of monetary policy interventions on Brazilian short run economic performance in terms of the inflation rate, output gap, interest

After-sales service is a major profit generator for more and more OEMs in industries with durable products. Successful engagement in after-sales service improves customer loyalty and allows for competitive differentiation through superior service like an extended service period after end of production during which customers are guaranteed to be provided with service parts. In order to fulfill the service guarantee

We present the latest version of the Groningen Molecular Simulation program package, GROMOS05. It has been developed for the dynamical modelling of (bio)molecules using the methods of molecular dynamics, stochastic dynamics, and energy minimization. An overview of GROMOS05 is given, highlighting features not present in the last major release, GROMOS96. The organization of the program package is outlined and the included analysis package GROMOS++ is described. Finally, some applications illustrating the various available functionalities are presented.

Natural systems compute intrinsically and produce information. The organization of a stochastic dynamical system is reflected in the time series of observations made of the system and can be quantified by the excess entropy or predictive information—the mutual information between past and future. This information can be used to build models of vary- ing complexity that capture the causal structure

We present results about financial market observables, specifically returns and traded volumes. They are obtained within the current nonextensive statistical mechanical framework based on the entropy Sq=kfrac1−sumi=1Wpiq1−q,(qinRe)left(S1equivSBG=−ksumi=1Wpi,lnpiright)S_{q}=k\frac{1-\sum_{i=1}^{W} p_{i} ^{q}}{1-q}\, (q\in \Re) \left(S_{1} \equiv S_{BG}=-k\sum_{i=1}^{W}p_{i}\,\ln p_{i}\right)Sq=kfrac1sumi=1Wpiq1q,(qinRe)left(S1equivSBG=ksumi=1Wpi,lnpiright) . More precisely, we present stochastic dynamical mechanisms which mimic probability density functions empirically observed. These mechanisms provide possible interpretations for the emergence of the entropic indices q in the time evolution of the corresponding observables. In addition to this, through multi-fractal analysis of return time series, we verify that the dual relation qstat+qsens=2 is numerically satisfied, qstat and qsens being associated to the probability density function and to the sensitivity to initial conditions respectively. This type of simple relation, whose understanding remains ellusive, has been empirically verified in various other systems.
