Generalized Pareto Curves: Theory and Applications (2017, methodology): “Such frictions may take different forms: for example, a lower bound on wages (Gabaix, 1999) or a nonzero probability of retiring (Saichev, Malevergne, and Sornette, 2010).”
Dragon-kings: Mechanisms, statistical methods and empirical evidence (2012, unknown): “…to be at the origin of power law distributions may, under slight changes of conditions and constraints, lead to log-normal distributions (Saichev et al., 2009) or to distributions with two regimes, such as dragon-kings, due to a transition from a kind of self-organized critical regime to a…”
Dragon-Kings, Black Swans and the Prediction of Crises (2009, background): “[21] for a recent in-depth review of theories of Zipf’s law and of its deviations).”
Prediction (2010, unknown): “Characterizing the distributions by the probability densi ty function (pdf), it is found of the form ≃ 1/W f with exponent close to2, which corresponds to Zipf’s law [107].”
The Dynamics of Inequality (2016, unknown): “Saichev, Malevergne, and Sornette (2009) and Malevergne, Saichev, and Sornette (2013) calculate a number of probability densities and hazard rates at ﬁnite times.”
