In recent years economists have begun to use the techniques of
non-linear dynamics to show that some apparently erratic and
turbulent economic phenomena reflect subtle underlying patterns.
How do cyclic and chaotic dynamics arise in economic models of
equilibrium? How can empirical methods be used to detect
nonlinearities and cyclic and chaotic structures in economic
models? In examining these questions, this book brings together the
most significant work that has been done to date in economics-based
chaos theory. Selected here particularly for the economist who is
not a specialist in chaos theory, the essays, some previously
unpublished and others not widely available, describe a new tool
for understanding business cycles, stabilization policy, and
forecasting. The contributors to the volume are William J. Baumol,
Jess Benhabib, Michele Boldrin, William A. Brock, Richard H. Day,
Raymond J. Deneckere, Allan Drazen, Jean-Michel Grandmont, Kenneth
L. Judd, Bruno Jullien, Guy Laroque, Blake LeBaron, Bruce McNevin,
Luigi Montrucchio, Salih Nefti, Kazuo Nishimura, James B. Ramsey,
Pietro Reichlin, Philip Rothman, Chera L. Sayers, Jos A.
Scheinkman, Wayne Shafer, William Whitesell, Edward N. Wolff, and
Michael Woodford.
