The purpose of this work is to study the joint interaction of three founding elements of modern capitalism, namely endogenous technical change, income distribution and labour markets, within a low-dimensional nonlinear dynamic setup extending the Goodwin model. By going beyond the conservative...

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...

This paper uses a Merton-type estimate of the probability of default (PoD) for the main banks in a sample of Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and middle-income countries as a proxy for the fragility of their banking systems. Based on theory and stylized facts, the paper...

This paper, following Kaldor's approach, is written with the intention of interpreting fluctuations of economic systems (i.e trade cycles). In particular, a new discretized Kaldor model is proposed, which is also useful to explain what appears to be random and unpredictable, such as economic...

This paper investigates, by means of recurrence quantification analysis, the characteristics of trade cycles and economic development. Trade cycles are complex phenomena oscillating because of economic downturns and expansions. In this paper the features of the underlying dynamics are studied...

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...

This paper has the objective to empirically test Harrod's explanations of economic dynamics addressing both growth and business cycles. In particular we test Harrod's speculation that opening the economy to foreign trade could lead to a reduction of cyclical instability. The main variables...

This paper, written with the intention of formulating a macroeconomic model of trade cycles - following Kaldor's approach - explains the fluctuations of economic systems by using some numerical instruments. The reason for choosing a chaotic model will become clear as will the implications which...

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...

This paper is part of author's Master Thesis Chaos in emerging capital market: an empirical study on the Jakarta Stock Exchange. Some evidences of the existence of chaotic system proved by chaos researches on the developed market as conducted by some researchers strongly motivate us to try to...
