  • THE MINSKY MOMENT AS THE REVENGE OF ENTROPY

  • J. Barkley Rosser, Jr.
  • Journal:
    Macroeconomic Dynamics / Volume 24 / Issue 1 / January 2020
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    10 April 2019, pp. 7-23

  • Considering macroeconomies as systems subject to stochastic forms of entropic equilibria, we shall consider how deviations driven by positive feedbacks as in a speculative bubble can drive such an economy into an anti-entropic state that can suddenly collapse back into an entropic state, with such a collapse taking the form of a Minsky moment. This can manifest itself as shifts in the boundary between the portion of the income distribution that is best modeled as Boltzmann–Gibbs and that best modeled as a Paretian power law.
