all outcomes are equally likely. The aim is 'to explain more by saying less', or at least start by saying less and see how far that takes us (c.f. Farmer et at (2005)). The principle that many market outcomes are determined more by the objective social structure than the particulars of individual rat

As discussed above, intuitively it is not obvious why Bowley's law holds and the ratios of returns to capital are not much higher than the returns to labour. Using the basic ideas of classical economics we wo

the last two hundred years. Neoclassical ideas of utility and marginality have no theory to explain this. What equation (4.5a) says clearly is that Bowley's ratio will always be less than one, and given that rates of return are generally much lower than consumption rates, the value will be closer to o

or the moment almost all the research on liquidity, other than that carried out by econophysicists such as Bouchaud, Potters, Mezard, Wyart, French, Farmer, and others, has been carried out against the traditional models of Debreu, Arrow, et al, and I am obliged to follow this in my review. 220 EFTA0

However, in March 2010 Maria and George produced the first Matlab model for me based on the GLV model in the second part of my 2006 note. Somewhat to my surprise, this produced

These relations imply that the suggested approach in this section may have promise. A second observa

In such circumstances, central bankers face acute problems. With the single tool of interest rates, g

From this model an exact formula for the Bowley ratio; the ratio of returns to labour to total returns, is derived. This formula is also derived trivially algebraically. This derivation is extend
