Information theoretic approaches in economics

J Yang - Journal of Economic Surveys, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Economics has seen a recent rise in interest in information theory as an alternative
framework to the conventional notion of equilibrium as a fixed state, such as Walrasian …

The double power law in income distribution: Explanations and evidence

AA Toda - Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization, 2012 - Elsevier
Conditional on education and experience, the distribution of personal labor income appears
to be double Pareto, a distribution that obeys the power law in both the upper and lower …

Discrete approximations of continuous distributions by maximum entropy

K Tanaka, AA Toda - Economics Letters, 2013 - Elsevier
In numerically implementing the optimization of an expected value in many economic
models, it is often necessary to approximate a given continuous probability distribution by a …

Income dynamics with a stationary double Pareto distribution

AA Toda - Physical Review E—Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft …, 2011 - APS
Once controlled for the trend, the distribution of personal income appears to be double
Pareto, a distribution that obeys the power law exactly in both the upper and the lower tails. I …

A quantal response statistical equilibrium model of induced technical change in an interactive factor market: Firm-level evidence in the EU economies

J Yang - Entropy, 2018 - mdpi.com
This paper studies the pattern of technical change at the firm level by applying and
extending the Quantal Response Statistical Equilibrium model (QRSE). The model assumes …

Model reconstruction for moment-based stochastic chemical kinetics

A Andreychenko, L Mikeev, V Wolf - ACM Transactions on Modeling and …, 2015 - dl.acm.org

Back to the future: economic self-organisation and maximum entropy prediction

S Barde - Computational Economics, 2015 - Springer
This paper shows that signal restoration methodology is appropriate for predicting the
equilibrium state of certain economic systems. A formal justification for this is provided by …

An entropic framework for modeling economies

A Caticha, A Golan - Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2014 - Elsevier
We develop an information-theoretic framework for economic modeling. This framework is
based on principles of entropic inference that are designed for reasoning on the basis of …

Discretizing distributions with exact moments: Error estimate and convergence analysis

K Tanaka, AA Toda - SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, 2015 - SIAM
The maximum entropy principle is a powerful tool for solving underdetermined inverse
problems. This paper considers the problem of discretizing a continuous distribution, which …

Information‐theoretic model of induced technical change: Theory and empirics

J Yang - Metroeconomica, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
The paper develops an information‐theoretic model of induced technical change where
payoff‐maximizing agents are exposed to a positive degree of uncertainty when adopting …
