We analyze the stability and dynamics of an overlapping generations model with imperfectlycompetitive labour markets...

We present two new notions of evolutionary stability, the trulyevolutionarily stable state (TESS) and the generalized evolutionarilystable equilibrium (GESE). The GESE generalizes the evolutionar-ily stable equilibrium (ESE) of Joosten [1996]. An ESE attracts allnearby trajectories...

In games with strategic substitutes (GSS), convergence of the best response dynamic startingfrom the inf (or sup) of the strategy space is equivalent to global stability (convergence ofevery adaptive dynamic to the same pure strategy Nash equilibrium). Consequently, inGSS, global stability can...

The paper examines questions of local asymptotic stability of randomdynamical systems. Results concerning stochastic dynamics ingeneral metric spaces, as well as in Banach spaces, are obtained. Theresults pertaining to Banach spaces are based on the linearization ofthe systems under study. The...

This paper analyzes the dynamics of a variant of Jones (2002) semi-endogenous growth model within the feasible parameter space. We derive the long run growth rate of the economy and do a detailed bifurcation analysis of the equilibrium. We show the existence of codimension-1 bifurcations (Hopf,...

It is known that the discretization of continuous-time models can introduce chaotic behaviour, even when this is not consistent with observations or even the model’s assumptions. We propose generic dynamics describing discrete-time core-periphery models that comply with the established...

This paper provides theoretical foundations to the contemporaneous increase in computer usage, human capital and multi-tasking observed in many OECD countries during the 1990s. The links between work organization, technology and human capital is modelled by establishing the conditions under...

In this paper we consider the entry and exit of firms in a dynamic general equilibrium model with capital. At the firm level, there is a fixed cost combined with increasing marginal cost, which gives a standard U-shaped cost curve with optimal firm size. Entry is determined by a free entry...
