Governing Dynamics from cause and effect: -A novel formulation for causality with applications in Quantum Gravity and Economic Theory

This paper defines an equation for causality. This equation is then combined with the postulates of quantum mechanics and mass-energy equivalence to produce a quantum mechanical telegrapher's equation and to reproduce the Schrodinger and Klein-Gordon equations. The incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and dynamic general equilibrium in economics (with an interpretation of a Nash equilibrium) are obtained when the equation of causality refers to itself, i.e. when the cause is its own effect. As it is shown that the Klein-Gordon equation is obtained by Wick rotating the cause vector with de Broglie angular frequency, this paper postulates an equation for Quantum Gravity, which relates the Navier-Stokes equations to the Einstein Field Equations of General Relativity.

Deterministic chaos in government debt dynamics with mechanistic primary balance rules

This paper shows that with mechanistic primary budget rules and with some simple assumptions on interest rates the well-known debt dynamics equation transforms into the infamous logistic map. The logistic map has very peculiar and rich nonlinear behaviour and it can exhibit deterministic chaos with certain parameter regimes. Deterministic chaos means the existence of the butterfly effect which in turn is qualitatively very important, as it shows that even deterministic budget rules produce unpredictable behaviour of the debt-to-GDP ratio, as chaotic systems are extremely sensitive to initial conditions.
