Dynamicstochasticgeneralequilibrium modeling abbreviated DSGE or sometimes SDGE or DGE is a branch of applied generalequilibrium theory that is influential in contemporary macroeconomics . The DSGE methodology attempts to explain aggregate economic phenomena, such as economic growth , business cycles , and the effects of monetary policy monetary and fiscal policy , on the basis of macroeconomic model s derived from microfoundations microeconomic principles . One of the main reasons macroeconomists have begun to build DSGE models is that unlike more Large scale macroeconometric model traditional macroeconometric forecasting models , DSGE macroeconomic models should not, in principle, be vulnerable to the Lucas critique Woodford, 2003, p. 11 Tovar, 2008, p. 15 .

Unreferenced date January 2007 The classical generalequilibrium model aims to describe the economy by aggregating the behavior of individuals and firms. Note that the classical generalequilibrium model is unrelated to classical economics , and was instead developed within neoclassical economics beginning in the late 19th century. In the model, the individual is assumed to be the basic unit of analysis and these individuals, both workers and employers, will make choices that reflect their unique tastes, objectives, and preferences. It is assumed that individuals wants typically exceed their ability to satisfy them hence scarcity of good economics goods and time . It is further assumed that individuals will eventually experience diminishing marginal utility. Finally, wages and prices are assumed to be elastic they move up and down freely . The classical model assumes that traditional supply and demand analysis is the best approach to understanding the labor market . The functions that follow are aggregate functions that can be thought of as the summation of all the individual participants in the market. Aggregate supply Empty section date July 2010 Labor demand The consumers of the labor market are firms. The demand for labor services is a derived demand, derived from the supply and demand for the firm s products in the goods market. It is assumed that a firm s objective is to maximize Profit economics profit given the demand for its products, and given the production technology that is available to it.

Expert subject mathematics date May 2009 In mathematics, stochastic geometry is the study of random spatial patterns. At the heart of the subject lies the study of random point patterns. This leads to the theory of Point process spatial point processes , hence notions of Palm conditioning, which extend to the more abstract setting of random measure s. Models There are various models for point processes, typically based on but going beyond the classic homogeneous Poisson process Poisson point process the basic model for complete spatial randomness to find expressive models which allow effective statistical methods.

Stochastic calculus is a branch of mathematics that operates on stochastic process es. It allows a consistent theory of integration to be defined for integrals of stochastic processes with respect to stochastic processes. It is used to model systems that behave randomly. The best known stochastic process to which stochastic calculus is applied is the Wiener process named in honor of Norbert Wiener , which is used for modeling Brownian motion as described by Albert Einstein and other physical diffusion processes in space of particles subject to random forces. Since the 1970s, the Wiener process has been widely applied in financial mathematics and economics to model the evolution in time of stock prices and bond interest rates. The main flavours of stochastic calculus are the It calculus and its variational relative the Malliavin calculus . For technical reasons the It integral is the most useful for general classes of processes but the related Stratonovich integral is frequently useful in problem formulation particularly in engineering disciplines. The Stratonovich integral can readily be expressed in terms of the It integral. The main benefit of the Stratonovich integral is that it obeys the usual chain rule and does therefore not require It s lemma . This enables problems to be expressed in a co ordinate system invariant form, which is invaluable when developing stochastic calculus on manifolds other than R sup n sup .

Stochastic control is a subfield of control theory which deals with the existence of uncertainty in the data. The designer assumes, in a Bayesian probability driven fashion, that a random noise with known probability distribution affects the state evolution and the observation of the controllers. Stochastic control aims to design the optimal controller that performs the desired control task with minimum average cost despite the presence of these noises. ref http www.answers.com topic stochastic control theory?cat technology Definition from Answers.com ref An extremely well studied formulation in stochastic control is that of Linear quadratic Gaussian control linear quadratic Gaussian problem . Here the model is linear, and the objective function is the expected value of a quadratic form, and the additive disturbances are distributed in a Gaussian manner. A basic result for discrete time centralized systems is the certainty equivalence property ref name Chow Chow, Gregory P., Analysis and Control of Dynamic Economic Systems , Wiley, 1976. ref that the optimal control solution in this case is the same as would be obtained in the absence of the additive disturbances. This property is applicable to all systems that are merely linear and quadratic LQ , and the Gaussian assumption allows for the optimal control laws, that are based on the certainty equivalence property, to be linear functions of the observations of the controllers. This property fails to hold for decentralized control, as was demonstrated by Witsenhausen in the celebrated Witsenhausen s counterexample .

Stochastic tunneling STUN is an approach to global optimization based on the Monte Carlo method Sampling signal processing sampling of the function to be minimized. Idea image stun.jpg thumb 400px Schematic one dimensional test function black and STUN effective potential red & blue , where the minimum indicated by the arrows is the best minimum found so far. All Potential well well s that lie above the best minimum found are suppressed. If the dynamical process can escape the well around the current minimum estimate it will not be trapped by other local minima that are higher. Wells with deeper minima are enhanced. The dynamical process is accelerated by that. Monte Carlo method based optimization techniques sample the objective function by randomly hopping from the current solution vector to another with a difference in the function value of math Delta E math . The acceptance probability of such a trial jump is in most cases chosen to be math min left 1 exp left beta cdot Delta E right right math Nicholas Metropolis Metropolis criterion with an appropriate parameter math beta math . The general idea of STUN is to circumvent the slow dynamics of ill shaped energy functions that one encounters for example in spin glass es by tunneling through such barriers. This goal is achieved by Monte Carlo sampling of a transformed function that lacks this slow dynamics. In the standard form the transformation reads math f STUN 1 exp left gamma cdot left f x f o right right math where math f o math is the lowest function value found so far.

In probability theory , stochastic drift is the change of the average value of a stochastic process stochastic random process . A related term is the drift rate which is the rate at which the average changes. This is in contrast to the random fluctuations about this average value. For example, the process which counts the number of heads in a series of math n math coin toss es has a drift rate of 1 2 per toss. Stochastic drifts in population studies Longitudinal studies of secular events are frequently conceptualized as consisting of a trend component fitted by a polynomial , a cyclical component often fitted by an analysis based on autocorrelation s or on a Fourier series , and a random component stochastic drift to be removed. In the course of the time series analysis , identification of cyclical and stochastic drift components is often attempted by alternating autocorrelation analysis and differencing of the trend. Autocorrelation analysis helps to identify the correct phase of the fitted model while the successive differencing transforms the stochastic drift component into white noise . Stochastic drift can also occur in population genetics where it is known as Genetic drift . A finite population of randomly reproducing organisms would experience changes from generation to generation in the frequencies of the different genotypes. This may lead to the fixation of one of the genotypes, and even the emergence of a speciation new species . In sufficiently small populations, drift can also neutralize the effect of deterministic natural selection on the population. Stochastic ... variable.
