This paper analyzes trade in the Caribbean community (CARICOM) using a gravity model framework. The paper seeks to shed light on the dynamics of trade among CARICOM member countries, as well with the rest of world over 1980–99. Overall, the results show that intra-CARICOM trade has increased,...

We investigate the agent-based modeling technique in a model of wealth distribution. In the first part we discuss this modern approach to economic modeling in the light of two major methodological approaches in the history of economic analysis, classical political economy and neo-classical...

A set of first-order coupled equations of motion for eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a generic matrix is derived in terms of the equation of motion for the matrix itself. An efficient method of diagonalization is then constructed by defining an appropriate dynamics for the matrix. A comparison...

A data-driven approach for maximization of the power produced by wind turbines is presented. The power optimization objective is accomplished by computing optimal control settings of wind turbines using data mining and evolutionary strategy algorithms. Data mining algorithms identify a...

A Dynamic Geometry System (DGS) is a computer application that allows the exact drawing and dynamic manipulation of geometric constructions. DGS have been the paradigm of new technologies applied to Math education, but some authors have claimed that some symbolic capabilities should be added to...
