An Ecology and Economy Coupling Model. A global stationary state model for a sustainable economy in the Hamiltonian formalism
2020
Abstract The severity of the two deeply correlated crises, the environmental and the economic ones, needs to be faced also in theoretical terms; thus, the authors propose a model yielding a global “stationary state”, following the idea of a “steady-state economics” by Georgescu-Rogen and Herman Daly, by constructing only one dynamical system of ecological and economic coupled variables. This is possible resorting to the generalized Volterra model, that, translated in the Hamiltonian formalism and its Hamilton equations, makes possible to “conjugate” every pair of variables, one economic, the other one ecological, in describing the behavior in time of a unique dynamical system. Applying the …
From endogenous growth to stationary state: The world economy in the mathematical formulation of the Ricardian system
2016
AbstractWe analyse international trade in a Pasinetti–Ricardo growth model in the world economy scenario in which several small trading countries coexist and international commodity prices are determined by the interplay of supply and demand amongst them. We demonstrate that all the trading countries eventually reach the stationary state, though this process is not monotonic and the dynamics of capital and population may actually push some countries towards the stationary state and others away from it. We also use our model to assess an argument which Malthus employed in the second edition of An Essay on the Principle of Population (1803) to support a policy of agricultural protectionism.
A Diffusive Strategic Dynamics for Social Systems
2010
We propose a model for the dynamics of a social system, which includes diffusive effects and a biased rule for spin-flips, reproducing the effect of strategic choices. This model is able to mimic some phenomena taking place during marketing or political campaigns. Using a cost function based on the Ising model defined on the typical quenched interaction environments for social systems (Erdos-Renyi graph, small-world and scale-free networks), we find, by numerical simulations, that a stable stationary state is reached, and we compare the final state to the one obtained with standard dynamics, by means of total magnetization and magnetic susceptibility. Our results show that the diffusive str…
« Mouvement est nécessité » Pour une relation au monde du mouvement et de la musique
2021
Starting from a stationary state in order to feed a process, the idea of movement in music can affect both the sound material and the listening (the Hoerspiel...), both the view (musical theater) and the ancillary disciplines (dance or maping-video)... Based on examples taken in the 20th and 21st centuries (Debussy, Berg, Webern, Stravinsky, Stockhausen, Kagel, Ferrari, La Monte Young, Xenakis, Adams, De Chizy, De Mey, Trapani?), musicological study ultimately deduces that the metaphor of movement is for man an experience considered fundamental to his particular relationship to the world.
Le due crisi: crisi del capitalismo e crisi ambientale. Una soluzione sostenibile? (parte II)
2016
Vista nella Parte I la gravità della crisi ambientale, soprattutto l’instabilità climatica che caratterizzerà le prossime decadi, nella parte II si esplicitano le ragioni profonde della necessità di cambiare, e come, il modello di sviluppo. Negli ultimi quarant’anni la crisi ecologica non è mai diventata una variabile importante nelle politiche economiche. Colpa del neo-liberismo imperante, dall’ “unilateralismo” dell’amministrazione USA al “fiscal compact” della UE? Sì, ma anche le altre scuole economiche commettono lo stesso errore. L’attuale crisi del capitalismo è una crisi di sovrapproduzione, il cui carattere quantitativo, dovuto all’innovazione tecnologica nel mercato globalizzato, r…
