Joseph Móczár (Kiskunfélegyháza, March 30, 1946), doctor of economic sciences at HAS (2011), PhD at Osaka University (1994), full university professor (1994-2016), professor emeritus (2016-) of Corvinus University of Budapest.

Life path

edit

He studied with outstanding results and obtained an excellent testimonium maturitatis at Petőfi Sándor Gimnasium in Kiskunfélegyháza. From 1964, he continued his studies at the Karl Marx University of Economics in Budapest (hereafter KMUES) in the five-year course in planning and mathematics, which followed the indicative design program at the Sorbonne. The curriculum included mathematics, electrical engineering, computing, logic, philosophy, and economics. After graduating outstandingly (twice with a People's Republic Scholarship), he worked as a teaching assistant at the Economic Planning Department of KMUES. He spent two years (1981-1983) at Osaka University's ISER as a postgraduate student with a Monbusho scholarship. In 1991, he worked at ISER as a visiting research professor. In 1994, he was appointed as a university professor after obtaining his PhD degree at the University of Osaka and his habilitation at Corvinus University of Budapest. He spent the academic year 1996/97 as a Fulbright visiting professor at USC in Los Angeles. With the support of the Széchenyi Professorial Scholarship, awarded for four years, he carried out intensive research. In 2011, he obtained his doctorate at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Since 2016, he has been an emeritus professor at CUB.

His Work

edit

He focused on dynamic economics, including linear and non-linear dynamic economic models, cycles and turnpikes, non-equilibrium states, bifurcations, and complex dynamics (chaos). In 1991, he held a visiting research professorship in the ISER, where he began to study the economic issues of dis-equilibrium dynamics. Meanwhile, his research convinced him to study economics as a multidisciplinary discipline using physical, chemical, and biological processes. He follows energy and biological economics, where the economy is at the center of an evolutionary process in which technology, market prices and institutions, and people's preferences evolve along with people's behaviour.

From 1992, with a TEMPUS and G. Agnelli scholarship, he spent 2-3 months at the Universities of Siena, Venice Ca' Foscara, Groningen and Leuven. His Erdős index: 3. Editorial board member of the Public Finance Quarterly and the International Journal of Technology, Modeling and Management. His educational activities were recognized with the award "Excellent Teacher". Knowledge of foreign languages: Russian, English, and Japanese. His PhD students were Viktor Várpalotai in 2009 and Endre Morvai in 2015.

   "... As a mathematical theory, the Arrow-Debreu model is quite rigorous. As an economic theory, the Arrow-Debreu model has little relevance to reality (Shubik, 1961; E.R. Weintraub, 2002; Düppe, 2012; Shiozawa, 2016; Móczár, J., 2020). Arrow and Debreu were very aware of that. ..."

   "... Mihályi (2013) for instance saw him as a representative of evolutionary economics. Móczár (2018) focusing on the formalized approach of his publications saw him as a variety of neoclassical mainstream, with strong special emphases. Our earlier reading (Csaba 2016) was that of old-school institutional economics, where the pre-eminence of the body politic defines much of how the economy is functioning, when, and in what results. ..."

   "... A few years later, to grasp the micro-level economic processes that he deemed inadequately treated by GET, Kornai turned to further mathematical modeling in 1973 (Kornai, 1973). In the following years, although Anti-Equilibrium received some harsh criticism (most notably from Hahn (1973)), these institutionalist units of analysis, and the interactions by which they form a system, came to be at the core of Kornai's interest (Móczár, 2017). This is why Vahabi (2018) argues that Anti-Equilibrium foreshadows Kornai's later works that are formulated with the system paradigm. ..."

   "... Excessive financial deepening in the form of credit expansion results in credit boom and bust cycles, which weaken the banking structure and create inflationary pressures 6. Second, financial crisis and the collapse of the finance-growth relationship could be caused by the excessive risk-taking behavior of financial institutions (Móczár, 2010), which arises under the liberalized financial system (Diaz-Alejandro, 1985, Hellmann and Murdock, 1995, Easterly et al., 2001. Third, the ambiguity of the effect of financial liberalization on private savings arises because of the ambiguities in the relationship between interest rates and savings and also due to the nature of the financial liberalization process that also involves reversals. ..."
