Absence of economic and social constants
Chakrabarti, Anindya; Lahkar, Ratul (Springer, 2016)In this article, we discuss the possibility of economics as a discipline emulating the success of hard sciences. In our view, a fundamental obstacle arises from the fact that economics does not have (m)any stable and ... -
Breaking “bad” links: impact of Companies Act 2013 on the Indian corporate network
Aggarwal, M.; Chakrabarti, Anindya; Dev, Pritha (Social Networks, 2020)Board interlock networks are known to exhibit concentration of influence by a small group of elites. In this paper, we study a policy intervention aiming to curb this influence. We analyze the evolution of Indian board ... -
Cross-correlation patterns in social opinion formation with sequential data
Chakrabarti, Anindya (Elsevier B.V., 2016)Recent research on large-scale internet data suggests existence of patterns in the collective behavior of billions of people even though each of them may pursue own activities. In this paper, we interpret online rating ... -
Dispersion in macroeconomic volatility between the core and periphery of the international trade network
Chakrabarti, Anindya (Elsevier, 2018-03)At the country level, macroeconomic volatility tends to correlate with trade openness although the direction of correlation is not stable across samples. Higher openness allows for greater diversification opportunities, ... -
Emergence of anti-coordination through reinforcement learning in generalized minority games
Chakrabarti, Anindya; Ghosh, Diptesh (Springer, 2017)In this paper we propose adaptive strategies to solve coordination failuresin a prototype generalized minority game model with a multi-agent, multi-choiceenvironment. We illustrate the model with an application to large ... -
Emergence of distributed coordination in the Kolkata Paise Restaurant problem with finite information
Ghosh, Diptesh; Chakrabarti, Anindya (Elseveir, 2017)In this paper, we study a large-scale distributed coordination problem and propose efficient adaptive strategies to solve the problem. The basic problem is to allocate finite number of resources to individual agents in the ... -
An evolutionary analysis of growth and fluctuations with negative externalities
Chakrabarti, Anindya; Lahkar, Ratul (Springer International Publishing, 2018)We present an evolutionary game theoretic model of growth and fluctuations with negative externalities. Agents in a population choose the level of input. Total output is a function of aggregate input and a productivity ... -
Financial fluctuations anchored to economic fundamentals: a mesoscopic network approach
Sharma, Kiran; Gopalakrishnan, Balagopal; Chakrabarti, Anindya; Chakraborti, Anirban (Nature Research, 2017)We demonstrate the existence of an empirical linkage between nominal financial networks and the underlying economic fundamentals, across countries. We construct the nominal return correlation networks from daily data to ... -
"Hits" emerge through self-organized coordination in collective response of free agents
Chakrabarti, Anindya; Sinha, Sitabhra (American Physical Society, 2016)Individuals in free societies frequently exhibit striking coordination when making independent decisions en masse. Examples include the regular appearance of hit products or memes with substantially higher popularity ... -
Improving server utilization in a distributed computing set-up with independent clients
Chakrabarti, Anindya; Ghosh, Diptesh (2018)We consider a set-up in which there are multiple servers and multiple clients in a large distributed computing system. Clients request servers to process jobs. Servers can only process one job in unit time. There is no ... -
Inflationary effects of monetary policies in newly industrialized economies with cross-sectoral labor and capital immobility
Chakrabarti, Anindya (Journal of Macroeconomics, 2016)This paper studies the effects of monetary policies in newly industrialized economies characterized by extremely low level of labor and capital mobility between urban and rural sectors. Policies are executed in the urban ... -
Invariant features of spatial inequality in consumption: the case of India
Chakrabarti, Anindya; Chatterjee, A.; Ghosh, A.; Chakraborti, A.; Nandi, T.K. (Elsevier, 2016)We study the distributional features and inequality of consumption expenditure across India, for different states, castes, religion and urban-rural divide. We find that even though the aggregate measures of inequality are ... -
Migration network of the European Union: quantifying the effects of linguistic frictions
Sengupta, A.; Chakrabarti, Anindya (Switzerland: Springer, 2019) -
Multi-layered network structure: relationship between financial and macroeconomic dynamics
Sharma, K.; Chakrabarti, Anindya; Chakraborti, A. (Switzerland: Springer, 2019) -
Productivity differences and inter-state migration in the U.S.: a multilateral gravity approach
Chakrabarti, Anindya; Sengupta, Aparna (Elsevier B.V., 2017)In this paper, we study the quantitative role of productivity differences in explaining migration in presence of multiple destination choices. We construct a dynamic general equilibrium model with multi-region, multi-sector ... -
Productivity dispersion and output fluctuations: an evolutionary model
Chakrabarti, Anindya; Lahkar, Ratul (Elsevier B.V., 2017)We develop a model of technology choice with search costs. Innovators develop technology of varying quality or productivity. Firms acquire technology after paying a search cost to find high productivity technology. The ... -
Quantifying invariant features of within-group inequality in consumption across groups
Chakrabarti, Anindya; Chatterjee, Arnab; Tushar, Nandi; Ghosh, Asim; Chakraborti, Anirban (Springer, 2018)We study unit-level expenditure on consumption across multiple countries and multiple years, in order to extract invariant features of consumption distribution. We show that the bulk of it is lognormally distributed, ... -
Self-organization in a distributed coordination game through heuristic rules
Agarwal, Shubham; Ghosh, Diptesh; Chakrabarti, Anindya (Springer, 2016)In this paper, we consider a distributed coordination game played by a large number of agents with finite information sets, which characterizes emergence of a single dominant attribute out of a large number of competitors. ... -
Statistical estimation of time-varying complexity in financial networks
Rai, Aditi; Bansal, Avijit; Chakrabarti, Anindya (The European Physical Journal B, 2019)In this paper, we propose a method to characterize the relation between financial market instability and the underlying complexity by identifying structural relationships in dynamics of stock returns. The proposed framework ... -
Stochastic Lotka-Volterra equations: a model of lagged diffusion of technology in an interconnected world
Chakrabarti, Anindya (Elsevier, 2016)We present a model of technological evolution due to interaction between multiple countries and the resultant effects on the corresponding macro variables. The world consists of a set of economies where some countries are ...
