There has been increasing interest in continuous-time macroeconomic models. This research investigates bifurcation phenomena in a continuous-time model of the United Kingdom. We choose a particularly well-regarded continuous-time macroeconometric model to assure the empirical and potential...

Recently there has been a growing tendency to impose curvature, but not monotonicity, on specifications of technology. But regularity requires satisfaction of both curvature and monotonicity conditions. Without both satisfied, the second order conditions for optimizing behavior fail and duality...

In a recent paper, we studied bifurcation phenomena in continuous time macroeconometric models. The objective was to explore the relevancy of Grandmont's (1985) findings to models permitting more reasonable elasticities than were possible in Grandmont's Cobb Douglas overlapping generations...

In an attempt to resolve the controversies that exist within the field of economics regarding nonlinearity, chaos, and bifurcation, we investigate the relevancy to these controversies of a controlled competition among nonparametric econometric tests for nonlinearity and chaos, and we also report...

In aggregation theory, index numbers are judged relative to their ability to track the exact aggregator functions nested within the economy’s structure. Within the monetary sector, Barnett, Liu, and Jensen (1997) compared two statistical index numbers: the Divisia monetary aggregate and the...
