This paper discusses the emergence of endogenous redistributive cycles in a stochastic growth model with incomplete asset markets and heterogeneous agents, where agents vote on the degree of progressivity in the tax-transfer-scheme. We develop two models, the first being highly-stylized, where...

The fast increase in computing power makes it possible to rapidly generate synthetic high frequency financial time series by Monte Carlo with any desired distribution of the increments and of the waiting times between increments, even for sets of securities as large as those traded on a whole...

Solving large economic models requires large amounts of computational effort, as the complexity of these models increases the computational effort required in their solution increases dramatically. To examine the nature of these solutions researchers need to repeatedly solve models using...
