The Minsky Moment and the Revenge of Entropy
SEMINARIO INTERDISCIPLINARE
paper
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.
