Higher-order discrete dynamic systems arise naturally in many economic models in which the problem at hand requires an explicit treatment of dynamics involving lags of more than one period. In studying such models, one type of analysis that economists are often interested in is the assessment of...

Non-linear systems of difference equations of various orders arise naturally in many economic models in which the dynamics is explicit. In such contexts, economists often have potential interest in the comparative statics of locally stable steady-states, with respect to the system's parameters....

The classical Schur-Cohn criteria are an important source of stability conditions for discrete dynamic systems. However, the conventional statement of these criteria is opaque and not of much direct use for an applied analysis of higher-order dynamic systems. The contribution of this note is to...
