Business cycles denote oscillations in economy as a result of downturns and expansions. The macroeconomic variable under our investigation is income as derived by the dynamic interaction with capital, consumption and investment. In this paper, a Kaldorian business cycle model is used to simulate...

Business cycles are oscillations in the economy because of recessions and expansions. In this paper we investigate the oscillation of the gross domestic product as a result of its relations with the other main macroeconomic variables such as capital, consumption, and investment.There is a...

Trade cycles are complex phenomena which oscillate because of economic downturns and expansions. Recurrence quantification analysis (RQA) detects state changes without necessitating any a priori mathematical assumption and highlights hidden features of the dynamics both at equilibrium and near...

Business cycles are oscillations in economy because of recessions and expansions. In this paper we investigate the oscillation of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as a result of its relations with the other main macroeconomic variables such as capital, consumption and investment. There is a...

Complex systems are characterized by deterministic laws (which often may be hidden) and randomness. A tool to analyse those systems is recurrence quantification analysis (RQA). RQA does not rely on any sort of assumption of stationarity and is not sensitive to singularities and transitions. It...

This chapter is dedicated to describe RQA applications in detecting spatio-temporal recurrent patterns of dynamical regimes of economic time series. Here we investigate the nature of economic dynamics and specifically of business cycles Orlando and Zimatore (Chaos, Solitons Fractals 110:82–94,...
