Some time ago Goodwin (1967) offered an elegant and influential model to represent part of Marx's thinking on business cycles. In that model he was able to show how the interaction of the reserve army of labor and the process of capital accumulation could produce self-sustaining oscillatory...

There has been much recent interest in the problem of financial instability in the macro economy. Some researchers have looked for cyclical and secular co-movements between debt accumulation, financial crises, and problems in the real economy. Others have tried to rationalize, in formal models...

This paper develops a discrete, nonlinear growth cycle model for a macroeconomy. The nonlinearities, which correspond to empirical relationships between profitability and capacity utilization in the postwar U.S. economy, can produce stable, periodic and chaotic behavior. These behaviors are...
