This study constructs a class of dynamic models in which optimal paths are generated by nonlinear transition functions similar to a tent map. We provide a sufficient condition under which such a transition function is a chaotic map. This characterization provides a way to construct complex...

Recent studies indicate the possibility that, in the more-than-two-country model, a coalition may block a competitive equilibrium by means of mutually advantageous transfers among its members. This study demonstrates that even the equilibrium which is to be established after a mutually...
