This paper uses a response surface based on catastrophe theory to examine the interaction of information and profitability estimates on the firm's adoption of a new technology or innovation. As such, the paper builds on the conceptual ideas behind McCardle's (1985) work. An illustrative example...

To investigate and create theories of socio-economic dynamics has always been relevant for professionals in theoretical and applied economics. These theories are urgent in periods of global and catastrophic events since, on the one hand, they can explain the emergence of critical structural...

The collapse of former communist regime in Central and Eastern Europe opened the transition period from centrally planned to market oriented economies. Thus, the exploration of economic systems in the special situation of transition has become an interesting research topic. The exposition plan...

The new business cycle three-dimensional model is formulated on the basis of new system approach known as the Method of Systems Potential. Cyclical dynamics with catastrophe jumps (alike to N.Kaldor (1940) model) and some stochastic properties is described. Properties of such cycles are similar...

Structural changes were the main focus of many studies in recent years. Changes which alter the socio-economic status of a nation from deprived and traditional nature to a developed and modern one. The main hypothesis of this study is that, the economic development does not occur through a...

The role of an intermediate metastable state in the fluctuation-induced transitions between two stable states is analyzed using generic kinetic models involving one and two order parameters. Conditions are identified under which the transition rate can be enhanced by the presence of the...
