Simonian Bounded Rationality and Complex Behavioral Economics -- Different Modeling Approaches for Time Lag in a Monopoly -- Learning in Monopolies with Delayed Price Information -- Hotelling Duopoly Revisited -- Dynamic Oligopoly Model with Production Adjustment and Investment Costs -- A...

Since the days of Lev Pontryagin and his associates, the discipline of Optimal Control has enjoyed a tremendous upswing - not only in terms of its mathematical foundations, but also with regard to numerous fields of application, which have given rise to highly active research areas. Few...

This book presents the state-of-the-art in non-linear dynamics and sunspots. These two topics have been the core of an international conference on instability and public policies in a globalized world, organized at Aix-Marseille School of Economics and GREQAM in honor of Jean-Michel Grandmont....

This volume sheds light on the current state of complex networks and nonlinear dynamics applied to the understanding of economic and social phenomena ranging from geographical economics to macroeconomics and finance, and its purpose is to give readers an overview of several interesting topics...

This book makes the case that economies are complex systems and in response to this, develops a unique dynamic nonequilibrium process analysis of macroeconomics. It provides a brief introduction to complex systems, chaos theory and unit roots. The importance and implications of contingency for...

Um die klassische Eventstudie zu erweitern, entwickelt Waldemar Wagner ein theoriegestütztes Verfahren. Hierfür verwendet der Autor die Methoden der Theorien Nichtlinearer Dynamischer Systeme, um neben den linearen Abhängigkeiten in ökonomischen Zeitreihen auch die Existenz und zeitliche...

This book pursues a nonlinear approach in considering both chaotic dynamical models and agent-based simulation models of economics, as well as their dynamical behaviors. Three key concepts arising in this context are “nonlinearity,” “bounded rationality” and “heterogeneity,” which...

This book considers the benefits of complexity, suggesting that economists should become a bit less certain in their policy conclusions. A broader range of models would include agent-based models, which use computational power to deal with specification of models that are far beyond analytic...
