In this paper we extend the multi-regime framework to variables involved in the debate on economic growth and environmental quality, starting from a reexamination of the so-called Environmental Kuznets Curve. The aim is to discuss the double convergence hypothesis that implicitly stems from a...

In this paper, we review the basic notions and definitions of economic regime and regime switching. The purpose of this review is to describe how these notions appear implicitly or explicitly in different areas of the economic literature. We will not claim to offer a complete survey. The goal is...

In this paper we introduce the formalism and terminology of multiregime dynamics for both theoretical modeling and data analysis. Coding is proposed as the appropriate tool for the analysis of such special type of dynamics, focussing upon switches between suitably defined dynamical regimes....

In this paper a new approach to the analysis of the dynamics of economies is presented; applications to time series will also be suggested. In such applications, computational experiments may play a central role to provide a different heuristics and to explore data information. The approach is...

This paper explores a recent method for measuring the tourism contribution to an economy's performance and compares it with others methodologies. The method uses the rate of growth of real per capita GDP and disaggregates it into a growth component that can be imputed to tourism and growth...

The economic performance of Austria and Italy during the last two decades is analysed by economists from both countries. Their contributions interpret observed historical facts starting from a macroeconomic level down to disaggregated structural issues. The performance as well as prospects of...

New Tools of Economic Dynamics gives an introduction and overview of recently developed methods and tools, most of them developed outside economics, to deal with the qualitative analysis of economic dynamics. It reports the results of a three-year research project by a European and Latin...
