Disequilibrium Economics Oligopoly, Trade, and Macrodynamics [Hardcover]

This book discusses mathematical models for various applications in economics, with a focus on non-linear dynamics. Based on the authors over 50 years of active work in the field, the book has been inspired by models from the period between 1920 and 1950. Following a brief introduction to economics for mathematicians and other modelers, it assembles a repository of useful specific functions for global dynamic modeling. Furthermore, twelve research stubs  outlined research agendas that have not yet been fully worked on  are suggested for further study and could even be expanded to entire research projects. The book is a valuable resource, particularly for young scientists who are skilled in mathematical and computational techniques and are looking for applications in economics.
