Comparative statics

Monotone comparative statics

Monotone comparative statics is a sub-field of comparative statics that focuses on the conditions under which endogenous variables undergo monotone changes (that is, either increasing or decreasing) when there is a change in the exogenous parameters. Traditionally, comparative results in economics are obtained using the Implicit Function Theorem, an approach that requires the concavity and differentiability of the objective function as well as the interiority and uniqueness of the optimal solution. The methods of monotone comparative statics typically dispense with these assumptions. It focuses on the main property underpinning monotone comparative statics, which is a form of complementarity between the endogenous variable and exogenous parameter. Roughly speaking, a maximization problem displays complementarity if a higher value of the exogenous parameter increases the marginal return of the endogenous variable. This guarantees that the set of solutions to the optimization problem is increasing with respect to the exogenous parameter. (Wikipedia).

What are Monotone Sequences? | Real Analysis

We introduce monotone sequences, monotone increasing, and monotone decreasing sequences, with plenty of examples and non-examples. We'll see how a sequence can be both increasing and decreasing, and we'll see some equivalent characterizations of increasing and decreasing sequences. #RealAn

Takuro Mochizuki - Non-abelian Hodge Theory for Monopoles with Periodicity

Recently, we obtained equivalences between monopoles with periodicity and difference modules of various types, i.e., periodic monopoles and difference modules, doubly periodic monopoles and q-difference modules, and triply periodic monopoles and difference modules on elliptic curves. In th

Categories 6 Monoidal categories

This lecture is part of an online course on categories. We define strict monoidal categories, and then show how to relax the definition by introducing coherence conditions to define (non-strict) monoidal categories. We finish by defining symmetric monoidal categories and showing how super

Proof: Monotone Sequence has Monotone Subsequences | Real Analysis

We prove if a sequence is monotone then all of its subsequences are monotone. In particular, we prove that all subsequences of an increasing sequence are increasing and all subsequences of a decreasing sequence are decreasing. We prove this using the definition of a monotone sequence. #Rea

Monotone Subsequence Theorem (Every Sequence has Monotone Subsequence) | Real Analysis

How nice of a subsequence does any given sequence has? We've seen that not every sequence converges, and some don't even have convergent subsequences. But today we'll prove what is sometimes called the Monotone Subsequence theorem, telling us that every sequence has a monotone subsequence.
