A (reactive) lattice-gas approach to economic cycles

A microscopic approach to macroeconomic features is intended. A model for macroeconomic behavior under heterogeneous spatial economic conditions is reviewed. A birth-death lattice gas model taking into account the influence of an economic environment on the fitness and concentration evolution of economic entities is numerically and analytically examined. The reaction-diffusion model can be also mapped onto a high order logistic map. The role of the selection pressure along various dynamics with ...
